Abstract
Hydrogen release characteristics of Al-Li alloys at room temperature were examined by liquid scintillation analysis of tritium which has been doped electrolytically in the bulk specimen. The tritium, release showed quantitatively that both solubility and mobility of hydrogen in the alloy is strong functions of lithium concentration in the matrix suggesting the nature of tritium trapping micro-structures.
