Abstract

The hydrogen absorption and desorption characteristics of microencapsulated (CFM)$Ni_{4.7}Al_{0.2}Fe_{0.1}$ and $MmNi_4Fe$ powder with Ni and/or Cu by means of chemical plating method have been investigated. Initial hydrogen absorption rate and activation property were increased remarkably by encapsulation and subsequent compacting. Pellets abtained by compacting of Cu-encapsulated fine powder have fairly good strength even after 30 cycles of hydriding and dehydriding. Encapsulated alloy powder and their compacts show a good resistance to degradation by $O_2$ or CO in hydrogen.
