Abstract
The distribution of interstitial impurities between liquid lithium and solid titanium-alloyed vanadium is investigated. It is shown that titanium alloying of vandium intensifies nitrogen and carbon transport from lithium into the solid metal. At the same time, the concentration of oxygen in the surface layers of the specimens increases as a result of penetration of lithium and formation of complex oxides of the Me x Li y O z type. Increase in the titanium content leads to an increase in the carbon concentration on the surface and to the formation of protective carbon films that inhibit the diffusion of interstitial impurities into deep-seated layers.
