The invention belongs to the technical field of
hydrogen storage alloys, and relates to a rear earth-
ferrotitanium hydrogen storage
alloy for
wind power storage and a preparation method thereof. The rear earth-
ferrotitanium hydrogen storage
alloy consists of Ti, Fe, Mn, multi-component rear earth and few LaNi5
alloy, and has a
chemical formula as follows: Ti1.1-xFe0.8Mn0.2Mx+yLaNi5, wherein x is an
atomic ratio greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.09, y is
mass percent greater than or equal to 2% and less than or equal to 8%, and M is multi-component rear earth which further contains at least one of Ce, Y, Nd, Pr and Gd in addition to La with the
atomic ratio of 0.5-0.7. The alloy is prepared by the following steps: proportioning, carrying out vacuum
smelting, carrying out rapid
quenching, carrying out
mechanical crushing and carrying out ball-milling. The rear earth-
ferrotitanium hydrogen storage alloy mainly adopts Ti and Fe elements which are rich in the natural world and cheap, so that large-scale popularization and application are facilitated. Compared with a
smelting and annealing process, the alloy with high-density nanocrystalline grains is prepared through the rapid
quenching process; and by virtue of mechanical ball-milling, the alloy forms high-density
crystal defects. The rapid
quenching process and the ball-milling process are simple and easy to grasp, so that the preparation method is suitable for large-scale production.
