Abstract: Internal friction measurements on binary and ternary α-phase alloys of Pd with hydrogen and boron have been performed with a torsion pendulum and by observing the cttenuation of ultrasonic pulses. A pronounced damping maximum of binary Pd-B alloys at 220K and measuring frequencies of about 4Hz could not be established at a frequency of 15MH. Ternary Pd-B-H alloys show an additional damping maximum besides the hydrogen Zener effect, which is interpreted in terms of a changed jump frequency of hydrogen in the neighborhood of boron atoms.

Key words: Pd-B-H alioy, internal friction, elastic constant, Zener effect
