The present invention provides a binary alloy of titanium group elements (Ti, Zr, Hf) and manganese, such as TiMn 1.5 ,
Regarding the industrial manufacturing method of ZrMn 2 or Ti group-Mn multi-component alloy whose main components are Ti group elements and Mn,
Specifically, by adding a certain proportion of Mn corresponding to the amount of energy applied and the theoretical amount of Mn, and then melting it in an arc furnace or high-frequency furnace, a homogeneous and desired theoretical amount can be obtained. The present invention provides a method for easily and economically obtaining an alloy having a good composition. Recently, demand for Ti group-Mn alloys has been increasing for applications that utilize reactions with hydrogen, such as hydrogen storage materials, heat storage materials, hydrogen purification media, and deuterium separation media. However, Mn originally has its melting point (1224±2℃)
Approximately 1 torr at nearby temperatures, approximately 25 torr at 1500℃, approximately 25torr at 1800℃
It has a high vapor pressure of 200 torr and at the same time has a strong affinity with oxygen and nitrogen, which causes composition shifts due to evaporation of Mn and segregation due to the formation of impurities. especially,
Alloys with Ti group elements, which are more reactive and active than Mn, are the most active in the melting of Mn-based alloys.
It was considered extremely difficult. Currently, the manufacturing method for Mn-based alloys has improved somewhat by improving the furnace atmosphere, its pressure, and the refractories that come into contact with the molten metal, but many problems still remain that cannot be resolved. Conventionally, among these problems, Mn
In order to resolve the compositional deviation, there were cases in which a slightly larger amount of Mn was added in advance, taking Mn evaporation into consideration. However, this additional amount must be determined by the experience of a skilled worker over many years, and as a result, the quality and composition of the finished alloy can vary greatly depending on the desired alloy composition, melting temperature, melting time, melting amount, etc. death,
It has not been possible to stably supply reproducible, high-quality alloys. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the present inventors focused on the amount of electrical energy that should be applied to melt a unit weight and the theoretical amount of Mn in the melted alloy obtained from the alloy composition formula. As a result of various studies, we were able to obtain a relational expression that serves as a guideline for obtaining a high-quality alloy with a desired composition with good reproducibility.
It has been found that by using this formula, an alloy of high quality and a desired theoretical composition can be obtained economically on an industrial scale. That is, the present invention provides calcium-based compositions,
Mn can be theoretically obtained from a desired chemical formula in high-frequency melting using special crucibles such as zirconia or silicon nitride, or in arc melting using an arc as a heat source such as plasma arc or argon arc melting.
In this method, the amount of Mn obtained from the following formula is added and dissolved. Additional Mn amount = M x E x a Here, M is the theoretical value obtained from the compounding composition formula.
The amount of Mn, E is the amount of energy added to melt 1 kg of alloy (unit: KW・h/Kg), a is (1.1
〜34)×10 −4 (Kg/KW·h) The present inventors previously proposed a method for manufacturing a high-quality Ti group-Mn alloy using an arc melting furnace using an arc as a heat source. This limited the optimum amount of energy to be applied during melting (the above value of E), but the present invention further develops this. In other words, the most problematic problem in melting Ti group-Mn alloys containing extremely active Mn and Ti as main components at ultrahigh temperatures is the evaporation of Mn. In general, the factors that affect the amount of Mn evaporation are the atmospheric pressure in the furnace, the amount of electricity (KW) for generating thermal energy,
These include melting time (hour) and amount of melted alloy (Kg). For the purpose of degassing, reduced pressure is desirable, but for reducing evaporation of Mn, pressurized state is preferred. Considering this, generally the furnace pressure is
Approximately 30 torr to 1.5 atm is good. If the atmospheric pressure in the furnace is set to this level, the influence of the above factors will not be so great. Therefore, the amount of evaporation of Mn largely depends on the above, and these influences are the value of KW・h/Kg, that is, the total amount of electrical energy added per unit amount of melted alloy (the above E value) can be evaluated based on the size of In other words, the greater the electric power (KW) for generating thermal energy, the longer the melting time (h), and the lower the amount of melted alloy (Kg), the greater the total amount of energy received per unit weight. , the amount of evaporation of Mn is large. Therefore, the present inventors investigated the amount of Mn evaporation while varying the value of E, and found that Mn in the melt evaporates approximately in proportion to the theoretical amount of Mn in the alloy composition and the E value above. I found out. In addition, the proportionality coefficient a at this time is in the range of a=(1.1~34)×10 -4 (Kg/KW・h), and especially when melting TiMn 1.5 alloy, a=(3.8~20 )×10 -4 (Kg/KW・h) was the best. This shows that if an extra amount of M×E×a is added and blended in advance at the time of preparing the raw materials, it is possible to obtain an alloy with a desired theoretical composition after melting. Note that here, the evaporation amount with respect to the amount of additional Mn is not considered. Taking this into consideration, the total amount of additional Mn is (M+calculated additional amount)×E×a. However, the additional amount is usually derived from the theoretical formula.
Since it is within several percent of the Mn amount, this amount can be ignored. Examples of the present invention are shown below. Example 1 A TiMn 1.5 alloy was melted in an argon arc melting furnace at an argon atmosphere pressure of 45 torr. The melted raw materials used were pure metals with Ti and Mn both containing 99% or more, and after melting, they were solidified in a water-cooled copper crucible. Table 1 shows the yield (%) of Mn after melting when no Mn is added, and the yield (%) when Mn is added, according to the four types of a values, regarding the amount of electrical energy per unit weight for four types. The amount of Mn after dissolution is
It is expressed as a ratio (%) to the amount of Mn in the alloy obtained from the theoretical formula.

[Table] As shown in Table 2, even with plasma arc melting, the amount of Mn in the alloy obtained after melting is within ±0.5% of the theoretical value, and almost has the desired composition. A Ti 0.5 Zr 0.5 Mn 1.9 alloy of formula could be obtained. Example 3 Using a ZrO 2 crucible, by high frequency melting,
A TiMn 1.5 alloy was produced. The atmospheric gas in the furnace was argon, its pressure was 55 torr, and the weight of the finished alloy ingot was about 50 kg. In order to evaluate the effects of the present invention from a usage perspective, the alloy obtained in this example was hydrogenated and its properties as a hydrogen storage material were measured. An example of the results is shown in the drawing. In the figure, the horizontal axis shows the a value, and the vertical axis shows the amount of hydrogen (ml/g) released into atmospheric pressure at room temperature (approximately 20°C), which is the most important characteristic of hydrogen storage materials. As seen in the figure, coefficient a=(1.1~34)× 10-4 (Kg/
KW・h), the released hydrogen amount is 150ml/
It can be seen that TiMn 1.5 is excellent as a hydrogen storage material. Also, especially a = (3.8 ~ 20)
In the range of ×10 -4 (Kg/KW·h), it showed 180 ml/g or more, and a particularly excellent alloy could be obtained. As seen in the above examples, the present invention
The present invention provides a Ti group-Mn alloy containing a Ti group element and Mn as main components. In order to stably produce the performance of Ti group-manganese alloy, which has a non-stoichiometric composition different from that of ordinary intermetallic compounds, by controlling the Mn composition using the formula M・E・α,
A high-quality alloy ingot with a Mn composition deviation within ±0.6% can be obtained easily and economically. As described above, according to the present invention, a high quality Ti group-Mn alloy suitable as a hydrogen storage material or a heat storage material can be produced stably at a relatively low cost.
