Hydrogenation and X-ray diffraction study of microstresses in Pd alloys

Abstract X-ray diffraction profiles from different concentrations of Pd, PdPt, PdCu, PdSm, PdRu and PdHf alloys have been recorded for cold-worked, annealed and hydrogenated states. Using the peak shift, the relationship between the values of microstresses and the concentrations of added elements as well as the values of r Pd  r ad have been observed.
