Abstract
Hydrogen storage characteristics of as-cast and melt-spun TiCr1.1V0.5Fe0.1Mn0.1 alloys were investigated by pressure-composition-temperature (PCT) tests, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD showed that both the as-cast and the melt-spun alloys were similarly consisted of V based BCC phase and Ti1.07Cr1.93 phase. However, PCT tests showed that the melt-spun alloy, with larger hysteresis between hydrogen absorption and desorption, had higher hydrogen storage capacity than the as-cast alloy. More interestingly, the phase compositions of the two fully hydrogenated alloys were entirely different. The as-cast and the melt-spun alloys should have different atomic motion mechanisms during the course of hydrogenation.
