Titanium-based body-centered cubic phase alloy compositions and room temperature hydride-forming reactions of same

摘要

Solid solutions of titanium, a second metal such as niobium, vanadium, and molybdenum and a third metal such as cobalt, germanium, or iron, wherein the second metal is niobium or vanadium and optionally when the second metal is molybdenum, react rapidly at room temperature obviating the need for a high temperature induction period. Solid solutions having formula (Ti1-xNbx)1-yMy wherein 0.25
