Abstract
In this study, we evaluated the effects of a mechanical treatment by cold rolling (CR) and ball milling (BM) on the first hydrogenation of Ti1V0.9Cr1.1 alloy. The as-cast alloy has a body-centered cubic (BCC) crystal structure, and the first hydrogenation at room temperature under 20 bars of hydrogen is practically impossible. However, the samples mechanically activated by CR or BM readily absorbed hydrogen. The sample cold-rolled for one pass exhibited faster kinetics than the sample ball-milled for five minutes, but both samples reached the same storage capacity of 3.6 wt % hydrogen. Increasing the amount of rolling or the milling time decreased the hydrogen capacity. CR is considered the best and most efficient method for the activation of Ti1V0.9Cr1.1 alloy.
Highlights
Metal hydrides are considered reliable and safe materials for storing hydrogen at a reasonable temperature and pressure, with relatively low cost and high hydrogen storage volumetric density [1,2,3].Among them, the Ti–V–Cr system has been intensively studied as an attractive material for hydrogen storage due to its relatively high absorption capacity of up to 3.7 wt % in mild conditions [4,5,6].The Ti–V–Cr system has tunable hydrogen sorption properties due to the wide range of possible chemical compositions [7,8,9]

Summary
Metal hydrides are considered reliable and safe materials for storing hydrogen at a reasonable temperature and pressure, with relatively low cost and high hydrogen storage volumetric density [1,2,3]. From a practical point of view, the first hydrogenation ( called activation) is an important aspect It may require high pressure and temperature and increases the cost of the hydride. Mechanical deformation techniques including BM, cold rolling (CR), high-pressure torsion (HPT), and equal channel angular pressure (ECAP) are efficient in reducing crystallite size and introducing defects in materials, which improve the hydrogenation kinetics [28]. Among these deformation techniques, CR can be considered more promising from an industrial point of view due to its simplicity and easy scalability [29,30,31,32]. The Ti1 V0.9 Cr1.1 alloy was processed using CR and BM, and the effects of mechanical deformation on the first hydrogenation and microstructure investigated
