I don't believe that nickel or titanium can be loaded with hydrogen.
Is such loading even possible?
This was demonstrated by Focardi et.al. and later described in several
papers, including
http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/CampariEGphotonandp.pdf (1999)
and was replicated at CERN in 1996

There's an excellent theoretical paper by Oriani at
http://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/OrianiRAthephysica.pdf (1993)
That analysis suggests that absorption in Ni occurs at grain boundaries,
surface defects (cracks) and lattice vacancies as recently discussed by
Storms and others. There are also findings that plastic deformation of
the lattice increases absorption by an order of magnitude, and that bulk
absorption occurs at ~600 bar. This is relevant because such high
pressures seem to be present in the Rossi/Parkhomov/MFMP fuel tubes.
