Combustion Synthesis of TiFe by Utilizing Magnesiothermic Reduction.

The TiFe hydrogen storage alloy is prepared by combustion synthesis via magnesiothermic reduction of a mixture of TiO2 and Fe with Mg in a molar ratio of 1:1:4, which is pressed into cylinders and placed in a graphite crucible of a stainless steel reactor (heating to the combustion temp.
