ALLOY FOR THE STORAGE OF HYDROGEN, METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION OF SUCH ALLOY AND METHOD FOR THE STORAGE OF HYDROGEN.

摘要

A method for the preparation of an iron-titanium-mischmetal alloy which is used for the storage of hydrogen. The alloy is prepared by air-melting an iron charge in a clay-graphite crucible, adding titanium and deoxidizing with mischmetal. The resultant alloy contains less than about 0.1% oxygen and exhibits a capability for hydrogen sorption in less than half the time required by vacuum-melted, iron-titanium alloys.
