The absorption of hydrogen by the intermetallics Sc2Ni, ScNi, ScNi2, Sc2Ni7
and ScNi5 produced by sintering was investigated. Hydrogen absorption isob
ars at the pressures 0.1 and 3 MPa were obtained. The maximum hydrogen abso
rption capacity of the compounds was determined The absorption properties w
ere compared with those of specimens produced by are melting.
