Ti-based BCC solid solutions are promising hydrogen storage applications. Unfortunately, the application of these alloys in large scale is hindered by the high cost of vanadium. The solution of this problem may be to replace vanadium by ferro-vanadium (FeV). Here, we report our recent investigation of compositions TiV…

Surface integrity of machined products can have a critical impact on their performance, such as corrosion, wear and/or fatigue resistance. It has been reported that reducing the grain size of AZ31B Mg alloys could significantly enhance its corrosion resistance, which is often the limiting factor for its wide applicati…

During the last decades hydrogen has attracted worldwide attention as an energy carrier. MgH2 is one of the most promising materials for hydrogen storage due to its high hydrogen uptake, large reserves and low cost. However, the potential for practical use of MgH2 is severely limited because of its high temperature of…

Magnesium complex hydrides as Mg2FeH6 are interesting phases for hydrogen storage in the solid state, mainly due to its high gravimetric and volumetric densities of H2. However, the synthesis of this hydride is not trivial because the intermetallic phase Mg2Fe does not exist and Mg and Fe are virtually immiscible unde…
