Method and an equipment for producing rapid condensation hydrogen storage alloy powder
 The present invention relates to a method and apparatus of manufacturing nickel-metal-hydride alloy powder material. The furnace charge of nickel-metal-hydride alloy is melted in vacuum or argon atmosphere in this invention. After melting, the molten alloy is gas atomized to fine spherical powder or centrifugal atomized to flaky shape. Then the powders are fed into a hydrogen heat treatment chamber for hydrogen heat treatment and pulverization. This invention integrates the melting, pulverizing and hydrogen treatment of nickel-metal hydride alloy powder into a whole step. It can charge and pulverize continuously and is suitable for the large-scale industrialized production of homogeneous composition and least segregation nickel-metal hydride alloy powder.
