Abstract
A single phase intermetallic compound Ti3Al having DO19 structure (hexagona l) was hydrogenated by cathodic charging. The structure was monitored by X- ray diffraction (XRD) at different charging times. The XRD results were ana lyzed by Rietveld refinement and it was found that electrolytic charging pr oduces a hexagonal hydride phase having lattice parameters a=5.858+/-0.002 Angstrom, c=4.657+/-0.002 Angstrom, unlike gas charging samples which produ ces a cubic hydride. Strong orientation of hydride phase in [002] direction is observed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
