摘要
The Gd60Co26Al6Ge8 alloy has been prepared by the copper-mold suck-casting and its phase component has been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). It is shown that this alloy consists of primary crystalline Gd5Ge3 phase and amorphous matrix. The glass transition temperature (T-g) and crystallization temperatures (T-x) occur at 292 and 320 degrees C, respectively. The maximal magnetic entropy change (Delta S-M) under 0-5 T field is about 7.6 J (kg(-1) K-1) at 155 K and the refrigeration capacity (RC) is about 768 J kg(-1), which makes Gd60Co26Al6Ge8 bulk metallic glass matrix composite a promising candidate for magnetic refrigerant.
