This reference will give a comparison of hydrogen absorption between many pure metals. http://www.osti.gov/bridge/servlets/purl/5277693-O8OUBl/native/5277693.pdf >From the reference www.princeton.edu/mae/people/faculty/carter/ecdocs/EAC-223.pdf It states: Large energy barriers for absorption and an endothermic dissolution energy suggest that the H concentration in perfect bulk W will be low.
