An apparatus has been constructed which enables the variation in the Young's modulus of interstitial solid solutions to be measured at high temperatures (above 1000C) as a function of concentration. Such measurements have been carried out for C-austenite at 1000C and 1150C. The results have been used to estimate the strength of the C-C interaction in fcc iron. The variation with temperature of the solubility of hydrogen in a series of metals and metal solid solutions has been measured. The solubility data have been used to estimate the thermodynamic functions of the dissolved hydrogen and compare these functions with those predicted by theoretical models for hydrogen-metal solutions.

Extensive measurements on the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of hydrogen in metals and metallic solid solutions both at high and low (> 300 K) temperatures have shown that much of the previously existing data are in error due to the use of 'pure' metal samples containing concentrations of interstitial or substitutional impurity elements higher than that of the species being studied. In general the behavior of H in 'defect' solids can be understood in terms of simple models in which the distribution of the H-atoms between 'normal' lattice sites and low-energy trapping sites is a Fermi-Dirac function. At high temperatures its Boltzmannian approximation is adequate.

Measurements of the elastic properties of the Group V metals from room temperature up to 2000 K have shown that the lattice softening effect is not responsible for non-Arrhenius behavior seen in the diffusion of interstitial atoms through these metals. Work on the Fe-C and Pd-H systems has shown that the volume changes associated with the insertion of a solute atom has a second-order effect on the mobility of the interstitial solute, but has a significant effect on the thermodynamic properties. The temperature variation of the H-solubility in a series of Mo-Nb solvents has been measured. The resulting enthalpies of solution show a variation with the electronic density of states at the Fermi surface which is not in accord with the screened proton model for H-metal systems. The diffusivity of hydrogen in several noble metals has been measured using the permeability time-lag technique. (Author).

The thermodynamics of interstitial solid solutions in terms of the contributions of positional and vibrational entropy and zero point enthalpy was considered in detail for ideal and restricted interstitial solutions. The results were applied to calculation of phase equilibria in interstitial iron-carbon alloys at one atmosphere and high pressure. Comparison with observations on kinetics of the bainite reaction and high pressure equilibria action yields good agreement. A method evolved for computing the entropy of solutions and intermetallic compounds from 0 K to the melting point was applied to 35 NaCl type compounds (including high melting carbides, oxides and nitrides). These computations compare favorably with experimental data. A study of the interstitial solutions in the titanium-oxygen system indicates that the high temperature stability of the h.c.p. solution is due to the enthalpy of formation. (Author).
