Abstract

Tensile strength and elongation characteristics have been determined for a series of palladium copper alloys that vary in copper content from 30 weight percent to 50 weight percent. A comparison of the elongation (ductility) properties of alloy specimens heat treated in vacuum to those exposed to hydrogen indicate that hydrogen exposure has little, if any, impact on the alloys. This finding provides preliminary evidence that the alloys have the ability to resist the damaging effects of hydrogen embrittlement.
