Effect of hydrogen on the elastic and anelastic properties of the R phase in Ti50Ni46.1Fe3.9 alloy KU Leuven
The linear and non-linear internal friction, effective Young’s modulus, and amplitude-dependent modulus defect of a Ti50Ni46.1Fe3.9 alloy have been studied after different heat treatments, affecting hydrogen content, at temperatures of 13–300 K, and frequencies near 90 kHz. It has been shown that the contamination of the alloy by hydrogen gives rise to an internal friction maximum in the R martensitic phase and a complicated pinning stage in the ...
