By the method of high-energy milling in a ball mill, we obtain new alloys of Mg–M−Ni (M = Al, Mn, Ti) ternary systems. The properties of hydrogen sorption of the Mg3AlNi2 compound (Ti2Ni-type structure) are investigated and compared with the properties of Mg3MNi2 (M = Mn, Ti) isostructural compounds. The sorption–desorption of hydrogen by Mg88M4Ni8 (M = Al, Mn, Ti) alloys is studied. The catalytic influence of Mg3MNi2 ternary phases on the hydrogenation of magnesium is established.
