Figure 13: Thermogram for initial hydriding of VTiNi.<br />
After 500 seconds, a drop in pressure started and the accompanying exotherm had<br />
an onset temperature of 80 ºC. The terminal H percentage was about 1.1%,<br />
corresponding to VTiNiH 1.7 .<br />
Another sample of VTiNi was milled for 10 minutes, a much shorter period. This<br />
sample took up approximately 0.6% H at about 90 ºC. This suggested that longer milling<br />
times are better for this mixture of metals.<br />
