The effect of hydrogen treatment on the phase composition and structure of the Laves phases in the Zr (Hf)–Ni–Al systems has been studied. It is found that grinding in a planetary-ball mill leads to partial glass formation in the alloys, the Laves phases have nanocrystallites ≈ 6–14 nm in size, and a phase transition takes place in the HfAl1.4Ni0.6 alloy. The nanocrystallites of the Laves phases refine with increasing grinding time. It is shown that interaction of the as-cast alloys with hydrogen at 3.0 MPa and 950°C finishes with their homogenization and formation of additional phases, such as Zr2Al3 and Zr6Ni8Al15, for the zirconium alloys. Besides the starting phase of MgCu2 structural type, a phase with MgZn2 structure appears in the hafnium alloys. The ball-milled zirconium alloys partially oxidize after the heat treatment in hydrogen.
