Abstract: In this paper the Al-Sn materials were firstly prepared by the mechanical alloying. The results of the hydrogen-produced curves and X-ray diffraction patterns show that the additives(Zn or hydride) and the prolonged milling time favor to make the composition blend uniformly. The milled materials have good hydrolysis properties in water at room temperature, especially that the Al-10%Sn-5%Zn-5%MgH2(mass fraction) material milled for 10 h produced 785 mL/g with the hydrogen generation rate of 78.5 mL H2/(min·g).

Key words: Aluminum-tin alloy, Hydrolysis characteristic, Activation
