The invention discloses a manufacturing method of an Ni-Cr-Al-Cu porous material. The manufacturing method comprises the steps that a powder reaction synthesis method is adopted, and high-purity Ni powder, high-purity Cr powder, high-purity Al powder and high-purity Cu powder are prepared in a certain ratio, wherein the total content of the Cr powder, the Al powder and the Cu powder is 22wt%-45wt%of the total content; after the prepared powder is uniformly mixed and dried, stearic acid is added, and drying is conducted again; pressure forming is conducted, so that a green blank is obtained; and vacuum sintering is conducted on the green blank by the use of the solid phase partial diffusion principle, so that the Ni-Cr-Al-Cu porous material is manufactured. The porous material manufacturedaccording to the manufacturing method has the low hydrogen evolution overpotential, the large specific surface area, excellent corrosion resistance, good catalytic performance and stable working performance, and a manufacturing technology of the porous material is simple and environmentally friendly, has the potential application value in the fields of hydrogen electrolysis evolution and industrial filtering, and has an important significance.
