The microstructure and phase composition of the cast alloy based on the (Ti, Zr)(V, Cr, Mn)$_{2-x}$ intermetallide as well as the phase composition of the hydrogenation product are studied by optical microscopy and x-ray phase analysis. As found, the partial substitution of manganese with chromium does not lead to a change in the structure and phase composition of the alloy that makes it possible to synthesize a hydride with a hydrogen capacity of 2.08% wt. at room temperature and a pressure of 0.21 MPa. As also revealed, the chromium reduces the thermal stability of the resulting hydride, the decomposition of which begins at room temperature, and the maximum reversible capacity is reached at 300°C.
Key words: Laves phase, hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, hydrogen capacity.
