Microstructure and magnetic property of LaFe^sub 11.6^Si^sub 1.4^ magnetocaloric alloys by a novel short time heat treatment

A long time high temperature annealing (e. g. 1323 K and 7–14 days) is necessary to obtain large volume fraction of NaZn13-type La(Fe,Si)13 phase. In order to get rid of this shortage, this investigation demonstrates a novel short-time continuous descending temperature annealing (CDTA) method for La...

Zusammenfassung:A long time high temperature annealing (e. g. 1323 K and 7–14 days) is necessary to obtain large volume fraction of NaZn13-type La(Fe,Si)13 phase. In order to get rid of this shortage, this investigation demonstrates a novel short-time continuous descending temperature annealing (CDTA) method for La(Fe,Si)13 magnetocaloric alloys. Within 10 min annealing, ∼81% volume fraction of La(Fe,Si)13 phase and a 9.52 J/kg·K (0–5 T) magnetic entropy change have been obtained. Besides, a lamella-shape microstructure consisting of two phases is observed. The relationship between chemical segregation of La(Fe,Si)13 phase and cooling rate is investigated. The mechanism of CDTA method is analyzed, indicating a different interface movement behavior.
