摘　　要：Nanocrystalline and amorphous Mg-Nd-Ni-Cu quaternary alloys with a composition of(Mg_(24)Ni_(10)Cu_2)_(100-x)Nd_x(x=0, 5, 10, 15, 20) were prepared by melt spinning technology and their structures as well as gaseous hydrogen storage characteristics were investigated. The XRD, TEM and SEM linked with EDS detections reveal that the as-spun Nd-free alloy holds an entire nanocrystalline structure but a nanocrystalline and amorphous structure for the as-spun Nd-added alloy, implying that the addition of Nd facilitates the glass forming in the Mg_2Ni-type alloy. Furthermore, the degree of amorphization of the as-spun Nd-added alloy and thermal stability of the amorphous structure clearly increase with the spinning rate rising. The melt spinning ameliorates the hydriding and dehydriding kinetics of the alloys dramatically. Specially, the rising of the spinning rate from 0(the as-cast was defined as the spinning rate of 0 m/s) to 40 m/s brings on the hydrogen absorption saturation ratio(R_5~a)(a ratio of the hydrogen absorption quantity in 5 min to the saturated hydrogen absorption capacity) increasing from 36.9% to 91.5% and the hydrogen desorption ratio(R_(1 0)~d)(a ratio of the hydrogen desorption quantity in 10 min to the saturated hydrogen absorption capacity) rising from 16.4% to 47.7% for the(x=10) alloy, respectively.Nanocrystalline and amorphous Mg-Nd-Ni-Cu quaternary alloys with a composition of（Mg24Ni10Cu2）100-xNdx（x=0, 5, 10, 15, 20） were prepared by melt spinning technology and their structures as well as gaseous hydrogen storage characteristics were investigated.

The melt spinning ameliorates the hydriding and dehydriding kinetics of the alloys dramatically. Specially, the rising of the spinning rate from 0（the as-cast was defined as the spinning rate of 0 m/s） to 40 m/s brings on the hydrogen absorption saturation ratio（R5^a）（a ratio of the hydrogen absorption quantity in 5 min to the saturated hydrogen absorption capacity） increasing from 36.9% to 91.5% and the hydrogen desorption ratio（R10^d）（a ratio of the hydrogen desorption quantity in 10 min to the saturated hydrogen absorption capacity） rising from 16.4% to 47.7% for the（x=10） alloy, respectively.
