Effect of Hydrogen Exposure Temperature on Hydrogen Embrittlement in the Palladium-Copper Alloy System (Copper Content 5-25 wt.%).

The yield strength, ultimate strength, and elongation/ductility properties of a series of palladium-copper alloys were characterized as a function of the temperature at which each alloy underwent absorption and desorption of hydrogen. The alloys studied ranged in copper content from 5 weight percent copper to 25 wt.% copper.
