Manganese-containing master alloy was prepared by vacuum induction melting. Effects of factors, such as manganese source, Mn/Al mass ratio, preheating time, and refining time on the composition of the manganese-containing master alloy were studied, and the influence of manganese-containing master alloys replacing the traditional “Mn + Al” feed on the prepared manganese-containing AB5-type rare-earth-based hydrogen storage alloy was also discussed. The experimental results show that compared to manganese powder, manganese flakes as manganese source can bring higher melting yield. Manganese-containing master alloys can be formed with different Mn/Al mass ratios. As the preheating time is prolonged, the melting yield firstly increases and then decreases, and the optimal condition for preheating is 10 minutes at a power of 4 kW. As the refining time increases, the melting yield decreases slightly, and the optimal condition for refining is 1 minute at a power of 15 kW. The average melting yields of rare-earth-based hydrogen storage alloy prepared with MnAlNi alloy and MnAl alloy are increased by 0.37% and 0.78% respectively than that with “Mn + Al” as raw material. The preparation of AB5-type rare-earth-based hydrogen storage alloy with manganese-containing master alloy can optimize the yield, with the hydrogen storage performance not influenced. The application of this method in practical industrial production brings good effect.
