ABSTRACT: The present work summarizes the results of previously known, as well as the latest sorption measurements, which were carried out on IIA metal alloys in the form of films, powders and macrobodies with a monolithic structure. Analysis of these data made it possible to construct an empirical sorption model, according to which the corrosive decomposition of reactive alloys is one of the driving forces of the sorption process. This model provides a qualitative description of the sorption behavior of these alloys in a gas environment and can be useful in solving practical problems in the field of vacuum and gas technologies.
