The Mg70-xTi12+xNi12Mn6(x=8, 16, 24, 32) alloys were prepared by mechanical alloying, the structure and property were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), Differential thermal analysis(DTA), Pressure–Composition Isotherm(PCT) and Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) measurements. When the milling time increased, The diffraction peaks of HCP structure were weaken and broaden, the solid solubility and the degree of amorphous increased. When milled 200h, there was BCC structure appeared in Mg46Ti36Ni12Mn6 and Mg38Ti44Ni12Mn6 alloy. The hydrogen storage capacity of Mg70-xTi12+xNi12Mn6(x=8, 16, 24, 32) alloys was 0.83.wt%,0.68wt.%,1.36wt.% and 0.41wt.%, respectively. DTA results show that the first endothermic peak of the alloys appeared at 670K, 688K, 593K and 662K. In order to improve the hydrogen storage property of the Mg46Ti36Ni12Mn6 alloy, TiF3 and Nb2O5 were chosen as additive. For example, after the Mg46Ti36Ni12Mn6 as-mixed (without milling) powder +5wt.%M( M= TiF3, Nb2O5) were milled 200h, the hydrogen storage capacity of Mg46Ti36Ni12Mn6+5wt.%M( M= TiF3, Nb2O5) alloy reached 2.33 and 2.36wt.% , respectively. TiF3 and Nb2O5 as additive could significantly improve the hydrogen storage capacity of Mg-Ti alloy.
