摘要: The microstructural evolution of as-quenched ribbons and ball-milled hydrides the Mg-10Ni-2Mm alloy was studied by TEM. These studies showed a refinement microstructures during applied processing nucleation MmMg(12) intermetallic at grain boundaries Mg Mg(2)Ni. interface between Mg(2)Ni is semi-coherent, with an ordered repetition consistent atomic arrangements. kinetics H-absorption/ desorption improved due to fast hydrogen diffusion in nanograins, thus, providing paths for H-exchange. TEM (a) stability nano-sized grains Cu-1000 (the surface velocity copper wheel: 1000 rpm) sample that underwent cycling absorption heating 350 degrees C; (b) formation MmH(3-x) hydride from its preferential location MgH(2). Clearly, Mg(2)NiH(4) act as centres initiate MgH(2), promoting alloys. Pressure-composition-temperature diagrams show presence two plateaux, Mg-MgH(2) Mg(2)Ni-Mg(2)NiH(4). MgH(2) plateau no hysteresis practically slope, while exhibited both pronounced particularly nanocrystalline sample. maximum storage capacity higher than microcrystalline one. (C) 2010 Elsevier B. V.
