Peak coincidence counting rate and positron lifetime spectra for deformed by cold-rolling, and annealed by four hours in the temperature 973 K, hydrogen free and hydrogenated PdCu with 23% Cu samples, in the temperature range from room temperature to about 720 K were measured. It was found that hydrogen improved to tempered samples creates defects that are annealed to the temperature about 525 K. In the cold-rolled up to deformation degree of 50% samples, hydrogen is trapped at defects, probably vacancies, forming H-V complexes, that become disappearing in the vicinity of the temperature at 350 K.
