Abstract
This study proposes and realizes the synthesis of powder and bulk Ni-Co-Mn-Ti-based all-d-metal Heusler alloys through mechanical alloying and powder metallurgy. Ti deficiency was found and recognized as a critical factor for the phase formation in similar compounds. By adjusting the Ti content, alloying and heat treatment process, L10, B2, and 5 M martensitic phases can be obtained. Martensitic phase transformation temperatures can also be adjusted through various factors involved in the process. The absence of a metamagnetic transition up to 3 T was observed in the bulk samples, which is related to the small magnetization difference during the phase transformation. A maximum magnetic entropy change comparable to alloys produced via rapid quenching was achieved. The present method is an effective and flexible route to fabricating powders of all-d-metal alloys with tailored structural and magnetic properties. It can serve as a pre-process for advanced manufacturing and provide new phase control choices in related systems.
期刊介绍:
