Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of this method is that the ingot is thick (usually not less than 2cm), the melt cools slowly, the solidification time is long, and the segregation of elements (such as manganese and lanthanum, etc.) is prone to occur.
Through subsequent heat treatment, the degree of segregation can only be reduced to some extent, but it is difficult to eliminate, which leads to the instability of alloy properties
After being made into a battery, the performance of the battery is poorly reproducible

Abstract

The invention relates to the making of stored hydrogen alloy powder. It is cheap, with great improvement in discharge capacity, recycling life and high power discharge feature. It pretreats the material with polishing and drying machines, smelting the material to form into alloy thin plate and annealing, powdering the alloy in inert atmosphere to get the alloy powder. It is easy to adjust the grain, suitable for big current discharge.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the manufacture of an alloy, in particular to the manufacture of a hydrogen storage alloy powder which is mainly used as the negative electrode material of a nickel-hydrogen battery. Background technique [0002] Due to the toxicity of cadmium in nickel-cadmium batteries (Ni-Cd), which is widely used at present, the disposal of waste batteries is complicated and the environment is polluted. As a new type of upgraded secondary battery, nickel-cadmium batteries are currently widely used Ideal replacement for batteries. Its electrochemical capacity is 1.5 to 2 times that of nickel-cadmium batteries, and it does not contain cadmium, so it has no pollution to the environment, and its charging and discharging life can generally reach more than 1,000 times. Ni-MH batteries are mainly used in small civilian batteries, portable electric tools, electric bicycles and motorcycles, hybrid vehicles, etc. Due to the increasing depletion of ...
