Techniques for the metallographic examination of niobium-, tantalum-, and vanadium-hydrides

Journal Article · · Metallography; (United States)
;
Techniques for the metallographic examination of Nb-, Ta-, and V-hydride specimens are presented. Special sample mounting procedures, as well as a heating and a cooling stage suitable for hydride investigations are described. The application of polarized light observations and Nomarski interference contrast to the study of hydrides is discussed. Some examples of micrographs of Nb-, Ta-, or V-hydrides are given.
