Abstract

Abstract In this work, the microstructure, phase transformation and magnetic properties of MnAl permanent magnetic alloys prepared by the melt-spinning technique were systematically investigated by tuning the cooling rate. It was shown that the MnAl microstructure, phase transformation and magnetic properties can be tailored by the copper roller speed. With increasing of the roller speed, the phase transformation from the γ2, β phases to the e phase was observed. In addition, the variation of magnetic properties was attributed to the phase content and microstructure of the ferromagnetic τ phase in the MnAl alloys, being controlled by the cooling rate. As a result, the high-purity τ phase MnAl was obtained at a copper roller speed of 5 m/s, which exhibited a high magnetization of 118.2 emu/g. Therefore, this work can provide a method for the direct fabrication of the high-purity ferromagnetic τ phase MnAl alloy.
