Based on the true stress-true strain curves, a constitutive equation in hyperbolic sin function was established and a hot processing map was drawn. It was found that the flow stress of the Co-Cu alloy increased with the increase of the strain rate and decreased with the increase of the deforming temperature. The hot processing map indicated that there were two unstable regions and one well-processing region. The microstructure, the hardness distribution and the electro- chemical properties of the hot deformed sample were investigated in order to reveal the influence of the hot deformation. Microstructure observation indicated that the grain size increased with the increase of the deformation temperature but decreased with the increase of the strain rate. High temperature and low strain rate promoted the crystallization process but increased the grain size, which results in a reduction in the hardness. The hot deformation at high temperature （1100-1150 ℃） would reduce the corrosion resistance slightly. The final optimized deformation process was： a deformation temperature from 1050to 1100 ℃, and a strain rate from 0.008 to 0.2 s^-1, where a completely recrystallized and homogeneously distributed microstructure would be obtained.展开更多

The results show that the cell volume expansion upon hydrogenation is obviously decreased after the partial substitution of Al for Ni. Therefore a decrease in the pulverization of the alloy particles is obtained, which leads to the decrease of the contact area of the fresh alloy surface with alkaline electrolyte and the increase of the charge/discharge efficiency. Moreover, the occurrence of Al in the alloy can create a dense Al oxide film on the surface of the alloy during charge/discharge cycling. This dense oxide film can prevent further oxidation of the active components in the alloy, which is believed to be the most important factor responsible for the improvement of the cycling stability of the La-Mg-Ni-Mn-Co-Al type alloy electrodes.展开更多
