However, in the conventional method, when the pressure is increased, the pore diameter becomes smaller or the porosity decreases. The pressure must be set low. But,
If sufficient pressure cannot be applied to the raw material powder, the strength of the molded body before sintering will be low, the shape retention will be poor and production may be difficult, and the sinterability of the hydrogen storage alloy may be reduced. Coupled with the poor, the mechanical properties of the resulting sintered product are not good. In addition, hydrogen storage alloy absorbs hydrogen,
There is a problem in that the material becomes brittle during repeated release and becomes finely divided, and this is scattered. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a hydrogen storage alloy member having a hydrogen storage alloy encapsulated to improve mechanical properties and further improved pulverization resistance and the like, and a method of manufacturing the same.

According to the present invention, Mg or its alloy powder is mixed with a raw material powder, and the mixed powder is contained in a metal container and molded. Is reliably secured, and a green compact having an appropriate strength can be formed by an appropriate pressing force. Since the opening is closed with a mixed powder of the metal powder and the Mg powder or the Mg alloy powder, the hydrogen storage alloy is surrounded by a metal container or the like.

[0010] The hydrogen storage alloy and the metal powder hardly react with Mg. Therefore, Mg or its alloy powder maintains compatibility with the hydrogen storage alloy powder and metal powder up to a high temperature. When a hydrogen storage alloy having a relatively high reactivity with Mg is used, compatibility can be ensured by treating the surface of Mg or its alloy powder. Examples of the surface treatment of the powder include formation of a thin oxide film and coating with a ceramic.

It is desirable that the volume ratio of Mg or Mg alloy powder mixed with the hydrogen storage alloy powder and the metal powder be in the range of 5 to 50%. This is because if it is less than 5%, the space secured as a ventilation path is insufficient and the hydrogen storage properties are impaired. If it exceeds 50%, the amount of the hydrogen storage alloy is small in the hydrogen storage alloy powder. This is because the hydrogen storage properties are insufficient, and the metal powder reduces the oxidation resistance and the impurity durability of the hydrogen storage alloy.

By subjecting the compact to heat treatment, magnesium or its alloy powder is favorably evaporated and separated to form desired pores. By sintering this compact, a sintered body having desired pores is obtained. Moreover,
The metal powder covering the opening of the metal container also becomes a sintered body having predetermined pores, and the hydrogen storage alloy is firmly and reliably encapsulated in a state where the ventilation path is secured. In addition, when mixing the above-mentioned pore-forming agent powder with the raw material powder, by changing the quantitative ratio of the pore-forming agent powder depending on the position, the pore distribution is intended without performing special pressurization control during molding. In this way, it is possible to obtain a sintered body that has changed.

Further, by controlling the shape of the pore-forming agent powder and evaporating and separating the powder, pores having a shape conforming to the shape of the powder are formed, so that the pore shape can be easily controlled. be able to. According to the hydrogen storage alloy member of the present invention, the hydrogen storage alloy is housed in the metal container, and good mechanical properties can be obtained. And, through the holes in the metal sintered body and the hydrogen storage alloy sintered body, an air passage for hydrogen is secured, and hydrogen is absorbed and released efficiently. Further, since the hydrogen storage alloy is covered with a metal container and a metal sintered body except for a necessary ventilation path, differentiation is prevented. Further, since contact with an impurity gas or the like is reduced, durability against impurities is remarkably improved.
