Abstract:
Disclosed herein are new face-centered cubic (f.c.c.) high-entropy alloys with compositions (in atomic %) of FeaNibMncAldCreCf where a is between 37-43 atomic %, b is between 8-14 atomic %, c is between 32-38 atomic %, d is 4.5-10.5 atomic %, e is between 2.5-9 atomic % and f is between 0-2 atomic %. The undoped alloy has strength of 159 MPa and 40% elongation to failure, but the doped, carbon-containing alloy having 1.1 atomic percent carbon has yield strength of 360 MPa, an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 1200 MPa and 50% elongation to failure at room temperature. At 700° C., the yield strength is 214 MPa with 24% elongation to failure. Thus, the present alloy may replace austenitic stainless steels in applications where better strength is needed at both room temperature and elevated temperature in an oxidation resistant alloy.

Abstract:
A Mn—Al—Ti permanent magnet includes a body composed of an alloy consisting essentially of manganese in an amount of 50 to 56 atomic percent, aluminum in an amount of 44 to 50 atomic percent, and titanium in an amount of 0.5 to 1.5 atomic percent with a total amount of manganese, aluminum, and titanium not exceeding 100 atomic percent. In one preferred embodiment, a composition for the Mn—Al—Ti permanent magnet is Mn54Al45Ti1 with substantially no other elemental additions being present. The addition of titanium in amounts of approximately 1 atomic percent to the Mn—Al system is believed to result in the titanium sitting on the anti-phase boundary (APB) sites with atoms coupling ferromagnetically across the APB in the presence of titanium, resulting in suppression of the negative effects of the APB and improving the remanence over a titanium-less Mn—Al permanent magnet. This system also exhibits sustained coercivity at high temperatures.
