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 />
