In order to enhance the glass forming ability of the Mg2Ni-type hydrogen storage alloy, the Mg in the alloy was partially substituted by La. The alloys Mg20-xLaxNi10 (x = 0, 2, 4, 6) were prepared by casting and rapid quenching. The structures and morphologies of the as-cast and the quenched alloys were studied by XRD, SEM and HRTEM. It was found that no amorphous phase was formed in the as-quenched La-free alloy. But the as-quenched alloys containing La held a major amorphous phase, confirming that the substitution of La for Mg significantly enhances the glass forming ability of the alloys. When La content x
