Abstract

The purpose of the article is to identify the effect of the alloying element in palladium alloys on their parameters of hydrogen permeability.

Cyclic voltammetry and anodic-cathodic chronoamperometry were used to study the electrochemical behavior of coldrolled alloys of Pd-5Pb, Pd-6Ru, and Pd-7Y systems (wt. %) in the processes of atomic hydrogen injection and extraction in a deaerated aqueous solution of 0.1 M H₂SO₄.

The study identified the role of lead, ruthenium, and yttrium in the processes of atomic hydrogen injection and ionization. Voltammetry and chronoamperometry data indicate a higher ionization rate for the Pd-6Ru alloy. The parameters of hydrogen permeability calculated from the cathodic current drops show that the hydrogen permeability of alloys varies in the series: Pd-6Ru > Pd-7Y > Pd-5Pb. The effective constant of the injection rate coincides for all alloys within the measurement error, whereas the effective constant of the extraction rate of atomic hydrogen is higher for Pd–5Pb. The marginal solubility of ruthenium in the Pd-6Ru alloy contributes to the passivation of grain boundaries in the alloy with excess ruthenium. As a result, there is preferential movement of hydrogen solely along the grain body. This results in higher hydrogen permeability
