Abstract

In order to examine the influence of the production technique on the performance of hydride-forming multi-principal-component alloys, a series of alloys in the Ti–Zr–V–Nb–Ta-Hf system has been obtained by arc-melting and electron beam melting combined with pendant-drop melt extraction (EBM-PDME). Structure analysis shows that EBM-PDME method ensures the synthesis of single-phase alloys with BCC structure for all studied compositions. During hydrogenation, the complete and reversible BCC to FCC phase transformation with maximum hydrogen capacity up to 2.0 wt% occurs. Mechanical and thermophysical investigations demonstrate high values of tensile strength, plasticity and thermal conductivity, which allow the alloys to be used as materials for membrane hydrogen separation.
