Microstructures and chemical compositions of some commercial La-Mg based alloys
have been investigated. The hydrogen storage alloys can be represented by the formulae La2Mgx,
La2Mgx-1Ni and LaMg2Ni9 (x=12 or 17). The determination of the microstructures and phase
compositions of these alloys has been carried out using scanning electron microscopy and energy
dispersive X-ray analysis.
