Main scientific results

1. Calculations of the composition of the initial components of the material based on the Ti-Al-Nb system have been carried out; the granulometric parameters of the initial powders were determined; methods of solid-phase mechanochemical synthesis have been developed. Based on the data obtained, a mechanochemical synthesis of a powder mixture based on the Ti-Al-Nb system was carried out, which makes it possible to obtain compacted materials with a bimodal (B2 + O) structure.

2. With the help of X-ray phase analysis and electron microscopic studies, the features of the evolution of the structural-phase state of the alloy based on the Ti-Al-Nb system have been established, depending on the parameters of mechanoactivation treatment and spark plasma sintering. On the basis of the data obtained, the optimal conditions for the synthesis of bimodal compacted materials based on the Ti-Al-Nb system with a high range of performance properties were determined, incl. with improved hydrogen sorption properties.

3. The results of the influence of thermocyclic hydrogenation / dehydrogenation processes on the sorption capacity and structural-phase state of getter-phase materials based on the Ti-Al-Nb system have been obtained.

4. On the basis of the data obtained, practical recommendations were given for the application of the technology of obtaining hydrogen-storage material based on the Ti-Al-Nb system.

Direct result

On the basis of the developed method of solid-phase mechanochemical synthesis of materials based on the Ti-Al-Nb system, a patent for a useful model "Method for producing hydrogen-accumulating rechargeable ICs" was obtained.
