Abstract:
The hydrogen permeability of thin (about 4 $\mu$m thick) magnetron-sputtered Pd–Cu foil and structural transformations during temperature cycling (heating–cooling process) are studied. It is found that the hydrogen permeability is maximal when the content of the $\beta$-phase is 100%. Upon annealing of Pd–Cu alloy in hydrogen, the temperature range where a regular structure exists expands.
