Abstract

In order to develop non-Pd based high performance hydrogen permeation alloys, microstructure, crystal structure and hydrogen permeability of duplex phase M-ZrNi (M=V and Ta) alloys were investigated using a scanning electron microscope, an X-ray diffractometer and a gas flow meter. These results were compared with those of Nb-ZrNi ones which have been previously published. The hydrogen permeation was impossible in the V-ZrNi alloys, because they were brittle in the as-cast state. On the other hand, duplex phase alloys consisting of the bcc-(Ta, Zr) solid solution and the orthorhombic ZrNi (Cmcm) intermetallic compound were formed and hydrogen permeable in the Ta-ZrNi system. The Ta40Zr30Ni30 alloy shows the highest value of hydrogen permeability of 4.1×10-8 [molH2m-1s-1Pa-0.5] at 673 K, which is three times higher than that of pure Pd.
