Abstract

A hydride phase, LiAlH4, has been identified in Al-2.0%Li-2.2%Cu alloy electrochemically charged with hydrogen. This is a hydride having the composition of LiAlH4. The orientation relationship of the hydride and the matrix has been determined and rationalized with the O lattice theory. The thermodynamic stability of the hydride is discussed and possible formation mechanisms explained. The hydride forms from the grain boundary phase, AlLi, as the maximum amount of available Li is already present in the AlLi (δ) phase.
