Abstract

The remanence and coercivity of arc melted Mn70Ga30 can be substantially improved by cold rolling. For best performance the rolled material should be annealed at T=730K in the presence of a magnetic field of 1T. The so-obtained magnet has a remanence of 0.239T and a coercivity of 1.24T at room temperature. The underlying reason for the high coercivity and remanence is the increase of the content of a metastable ferrimagnetic D022 phase at the expense of the normally stable anti-ferromagnetic D019. Magnetic field significantly increases the nucleation rate of the ferromagnetic D022 phase that leads to grain size refinement and as a consequence of improving remanence and coercive field.
