系统研究了Ti17Cr23V55-xZr5Fex(x=11~16)合金的相结构以及储氢特性。XRD及SEM分析表明,所有合金的主相均为体心立方(bcc)结构的钒基固溶体,并含有σ-FeCr和Cr2Zr等第二相;随着Fe含量的增加,合金中的bcc主相含量和晶胞体积逐渐降低,σ-FeCr相含量逐渐增多,而Cr2Zr相含量几乎恒定。储氢性能测试表明,该系列合金的活化性能和动力学性能都很好,在20℃和4MPa初始氢压条件下首次吸氢即可活化,并且无需氢化孕育期就能快速吸氢。当Fe含量从x=11增加至x=16时,合金的室温最大吸氢量从268ml/g逐渐降低至25lml/g,80℃有效放氢量从153ml/g逐渐降低至137ml/g。研究表明,为了改善合金的有效储氢能力,必须消除合金中不吸氢的σ-FeCr相或者抑制σ-FeCr相的生成。
The phase structure and hydrogen storage properties of Ti17Cr23V55-xZr5Fex(x=11~16) alloys have been investigated systematically. XRD and SEM analysis show that all of the alloys consist of a main phase of V-based solid solution with bcc structure and some secondary phases of σ-FeCr and Cr2Zr. With the increase of Fe content in the alloys, the abundance and unit cell volume of the bcc main phase decrease, the σ-FeCr phase content increases, and the Cr2Zr phase content is almost invariable. It is found that all of these alloys have a very good activation behavior and a good kinetic behavior. They are activated during the first hydrogenation time and absorb hydrogen rapidly without hydrogenation gestation time. As the Fe content increases from x= 11 to x= 16, the maximum hydrogen absorption capacity decreases from 268 ml/g to 251 ml/g at 20℃, and the effective hydrogen desorption capacitydecreases from 153 ml/g to 137 ml/g at 80℃. The result shows that eliminating the σ-FeCr phase in the alloy is essential for improving the hydrogen storage ability of these alloys.
