摘要
A series of Ni50-xCoxMn32Al18 (x = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) alloys were prepared by the arc melting method. The martensitic transformation (MT) shifts to a lower temperature with increasing Co concentration and can be tuned to occur from a ferromagnetic austenite to a weak-magnetic martensite in the range of 6 <= x <= 8. The field-induced metarnagnetic behavior was realized in Ni42Co8Mn32Al18 sample in which a large magnetic entropy change of 7.7 j/kg K and an effective refrigerant capacity value of 112 J/kg were obtained under the field of 60 kOe. The large magnetocaloric effect and adjustable MT temperature suggest that Ni-Co-Mn Al alloys should have promising potential as magnetic refrigerants. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
