A hydrogen absorption capacity of 4.2% was achieved at 293 K at a modest pressure(3 MPa) for Ti-40V-10Cr-10Mn alloy. The effective hydrogen capacity of this alloy is 2.6% at 353 K. Moreover, the alloy exhibits a better activation property and flatter hydrogen absorption-desorption plateau. In order to meet different practical application needs, a series of Ti-V-based alloys with various PCT plateau pressures could be obtained by varying the element contents of the alloys, which opened the hope to bring Ti-V-based alloy into reaching the practical application for onboard hydrogen storage systems in fuel cell powered vehicles.展开更多

Application of these alloys is for hydrogen absorption from gaseous mixtures containing substantial amounts of carbon monoxide （CO） at high temperatures. Irrespective of alloy composition, both α（HCP） and β（BCC） phases in Ti0.8-0.9V0.2-0.1 formed single phase FCC hydrides upon hydrogenation in pure H2. An in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction study showed that only the β-phase transformed to the corresponding hydride when the alloy was hydrogenated in a mixture of H2＋10%CO. Rapid solidification （RS） of the alloy resulted in refined grain sizes both in the Ti0.8V0.2 and Ti0.9V0.1 alloys. Furthermore, RS was found to increase the β-phase fraction in Ti0.9V0.1, being twice larger than that of the as-cast alloy. Ti0.9V0.1 had a platelike microstructure as observed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, the plates were about 300 nm thick. The microstructure refinement resulted in a faster kinetics of H desorption as observed by temperature desorption spectroscopy （TDS）.展开更多

The concentrations of alloy genes of DO3-TaW3 and DO3-Ta3W ordered alloys were calculated as functions of composition xW and ordering degree （s）. When s=smax, the concentrations of alloy genes of stoichiometric DO3-TaW3 compound are equal to those of alloys, that is, x8^Ta=0.25（at）,x4^W=0.5（at）,x8^W=0.25（at）The concentrations of alloy genes of stoichiometric DO3-Ta3W compound are also equal to those of alloys, that is,x0^Ta=0.25（at）,x4^Ta=0.5（at）,x0^W=0.25（at）. As ordering degree decreases, alloy genes of DO3-TaW3 and DO3-Ta3W ordered alloys will split. And the degree of splitting of alloy genes increases with the ordering degree decreasing. The atomic states and properties of DO3-TaW3 and DO3-Ta3W ordered alloys were calculated as a function of composition xW. The reason was pointed out that preparation of DO3-TaW3 and DO3-Ta3W intermetallic compounds is difficult due to small differences in their cohesive energies. It will provide theoretical guidance for the scientific designation to new candidate for ultra- high-temperature materials in areo-engine applications.展开更多
