Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A MnAl alloy according to the present invention exhibits metamagnetism and has crystal grains containing a τ-MnAl phase and crystal grains containing a γ2-MnAl phase and a β-MnAl phase. When the ratio of the τ-MnAl phase is A, 75%≤A≤99% is preferably satisfied, and when the ratios of the γ2-MnAl phase and β-MnAl phase are B and C, respectively, B<C is preferably satisfied. Thus, it is possible to obtain metamagnetism over a wide temperature range, particularly, over a temperature range of −100° C. to 200° C. and to enhance saturation magnetization.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A material, comprising: an MnAl alloy that is deposited by electrolyzing molten salt containing a Mn compound and an Al compound at a temperature of 350° C. or more and 450° C. or less and that is heat-treated at a temperature of 400° C. or more and less than 600° C., such that the deposited and heat-treated MnAl alloy comprises crystal grains including τ-MnAl phase and crystal grains including γ2-MnAl phase and β-MnAl phase and exhibits metamagnetism. 2. The material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein 75%≤A≤99% is satisfied when a ratio of the τ-MnAl phase is A. 3. The material as claimed in claim 2 , wherein 95%≤A≤99% is satisfied. 4. The material as claimed in claim 2 , wherein B<C is satisfied when ratios of the γ2-MnAl phase and β-MnAl phase are B and C, respectively. 5. The material as claimed in claim 4 , wherein 0.01≤B/C≤0.17 is satisfied. 6. A method for manufacturing a MnAl alloy, the method comprising: a step of depositing a MnAl alloy by electrolyzing molten salt containing a Mn compound and an Al compound at a temperature of 350° C. or more and 450° C. or less; and a step of applying heat treatment to the MnAl alloy at a temperature of 400° C. or more and less than 600° C., such that the deposited and heat-treated MnAl alloy comprises crystal grains including τ-MnAl phase and crystal grains including γ2-MnAl phase and β-MnAl phase and exhibits metamagnetism.
