A titanium–iron intermetallic with minor addition of manganese (TiFe0.7Mn0.3) was processed by severe plastic deformation through high-pressure sliding (HPS). A rectangular strip sample was embedded in stainless steel and strained under a pressure of 4 GPa at room temperature. The hydrogen storage kinetics and activation of the HPS-processed sample were significantly enhanced in comparison with the as-received ingot without the HPS processing.
