Thermo-Electromotive Force and Electrical Resistivity of Hydrogenated VT1-0 Titanium Alloy

Abstract

The method for measuring the structure transition of hydrogenated titanium from one state to another is suggested. The method is based on the comparison of thermo-electromotive force (thermo-emf), DC electrical resistance and the results of X-ray diffraction analysis. X-ray diffraction analysis is applied for identifying the quantity of defects in titanium structure. The authors have also identified the identical dependence of thermo-electromotive force and electrical resistivity on hydrogen concentration in titanium. The effect can be used for hydrogenated titanium structure control.
