“…To examine the formation of MgVCr BCC alloys by other synthesizing methods, the MgVCr composition, which exhibited the best homogeneity and phase stability after HPT processing, was synthesized from the MgH 2 , V and Cr powders by high-energy ball milling. The ball milling was selected because numerous publications indicated the potential of the method for synthesizing hydrogen storage materials, 9,11,36,37) for enhancement of hydrogen storage properties 2,3,38,39) and for possible applications in industry. 4042) XRD profiles before ball milling, after ball milling for 24 h and after ball milling followed by HPT processing for 50 turns are shown in Fig.…”
