SOLID-LIQUID EQUILIBRIUM IN THE SYSTEMS LITHIUM HYDRIDE-TITANIUM HYDRIDE AND LITHIUM HYDRIDE-ZIRCONIUM HYDRIDE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4164619

Thermal analysis measurements were made on 8 mole a titanium hydride in lithium hydride, at hydrogen pressures of less than 1 atmosphere and at 10 atmospheres, and also on 8 mole% zirconium hydride in lithium hydride, at just under 1 atmosphere pressure of hydrogen. The observed freezing and melting points were identical with the melting pcint of pure LiH (688 tained C) within experimental error of abcut 1 tained . The titanium hydride was in some cases in the ore resistant t phase and in some cases in the phase; the zirconium hydride was in the han the 800 deg ( ?) phase. The results indicated that the degree of metallic interaction was sufficient to offset the ionic character and prevent measurable solubility of the TiH/sub 2/ and ZrH/sub 2/ in liquid LiH. (auth)
