Abstract Nb-Ti-Fe hydrogen filtration alloy membrane has been widely paid attention because of its high hydrogen permeability and low price. However, up to now, there are few reports on the corrosion resistance of the alloy film, and the relationship between the microstructure and corrosion resistance of the alloy has not been established. Based on this, the microstructure, corrosion resistance and microhardness of Nb-Ti-Fe hydrogen separation alloy before and after hydrogen treatment were studied in this work. The results show that:in the two groups of Nb10Ti50+xFe40-x and Nb15Ti45+xFe40-x (x=0, 5, 10, 15) alloys, the microstructure of the alloy is composed of primary α-Nb phase and eutectic (α-Nb+TiFe) phase when x<10, while the primary phase is phase TiFe when x>10. When x=10, a small amount of primary α-Nb phase exists in Nb10Ti60Fe30, but this phase disappears in Nb15Ti55Fe30 alloy and is replaced by eutectic (α-Nb+TiFe) phase. Secondly, an extremely thin oxide covering layer is formed on the surface of the alloy after electrochemical corrosion, which is divided into Nb2O5, TiO2, Nb2C and Fe2O3. The corrosion performance is closely related to the type and composition of the phase. The corrosion resistance of Nb10Ti65Fe25alloy (4#) is strong. The Nb15Ti45Fe40 alloy (5#) with more FeNb has the lowest corrosion resistance. In addition, the hydrogen-loading properties of the alloys are gradually improved with the increase of Ti/Fe atomic ratio. On the other hand, the Vickers hardness values decrease first and then increase. The average hardness values of the alloys are distributed between 520HV—570HV. The microhardness values of each phase in the structure are eutectic (α-Nb+TiFe), TiFe, α-Nb, FeNb from small to large. The reason for the decrease in hardness of the alloy after hydrogen implantation is that the introduction of hydrogen atoms promotes dislocation proliferation and promotes double kink nucleation, resulting in internal defects.
