The invention discloses a high-uniformity
vanadium-
titanium-based
hydrogen storage
alloy and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, weighing raw materials according to a component proportion; s2, the high-melting-point raw materials are added into a water-cooled
copper crucible of a vacuum induction suspension
smelting furnace, and the low-melting-point raw materials are added into a feeder of the vacuum induction suspension
smelting furnace; s3, after the high-melting-point raw materials are completely melted, adding the low-melting-point raw materials; s4, after
smelting is finished, furnace cooling is carried out to obtain an
alloy ingot, and the
alloy ingot is turned over and then smelted again; and S5, after the S4 is finished,
casting is conducted through a
casting mold, and the
vanadium-
titanium-based
hydrogen storage alloy
ingot is obtained. By adopting and improving a vacuum induction suspension smelting technology, the problems of serious alloy burning loss,
crucible corrosion and the like can be avoided, an alloy purification function is achieved in the preparation process, macrosegregation of components is effectively inhibited, the
hydrogen absorption pressure of the prepared
hydrogen storage alloy is 3-5 MPa, the reversible
hydrogen storage capacity can reach 3.1 wt% when hydrogen is absorbed at the temperature of 0 DEG C and desorbed at the temperature of 60 DEG C, and the
hydrogen storage alloy is suitable for being used as a hydrogen
storage material. The technical advantages are obvious.
