Exchange of deuterium was studied with commercial potassium and barium hydrides, hydrides of pure niobium and tantalum metals, yttrium hydride, and with hydrides of rare earths metals. Non-stoichiometric composition of the hydrides made impossible a quantitative evaluation of the exchange mechanism. In most cases the ability to exchange deuterium with hydride hydrogen was found to be connected with the thermal stability of the hydrides.
