The VTiNi sample was subjected to dehydriding to observe the amount of<br />

reversible hydrogen in the sample. The thermogram (Figure 15) and the percent hydrogen<br />

desorbed (Figure 16) indicate the release of hydrogen started at approximately room<br />

temperature and continued up to 350 ºC, the maximum temperature used in the<br />

experiment. At this point only about 0.4% of the absorbed hydrogen was given off. Then<br />

as the cooling started, the sample appeared to reabsorb the hydrogen that was previously<br />

released.<br />
