description

Abstract Electromigration and diffusion of hydrogen in palladium depending on unit elongation were investigated. It was found that the obtained experimental results cannot be described by means of a single flux of hydrogen, which diffuses in a gradient of electric field. In order to effectively explain the obtained results, a theoretical model was elaborated. It assumed the existence of the following two fluxes of hydrogen in the stretched metal: • Ji—of migration, according to the interstitial mechanism, and • Ji-d—of migration, according to the interstitial-defective mechanism. Dependence of effective valences and diffusion coefficients for both mechanisms of transportation were determined in relation to the degree of deformation.
