Influence of nano-VC on the structural and magnetic properties of MnAlC-alloy.

ABSTRACT: Alloys of Mn₅₅Al₄₅C₂ with additions of VC nano-particles have been synthesized and their properties evaluated. The Mn₅₅Al₄₅C₂(VC)_x (x = 0.25, 0.5 and 1) alloys have been prepared by induction melting resulting in a high content of the ferromagnetic τ-phase (> 94 wt.%). Powder X-ray diffraction indicates that nano-VC can be dissolved in the alloy matrix up to 1 at.%. On the other side, metallography investigations by scanning electron microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscope show inclusions of the nanosized additives in the microstructure. The effect of nano-VC on the grain and twin boundaries has been studied by electron backscattering diffraction. The magnetization has been measured by magnetometr
