摘要
In this paper, the near room temperature magnetic refrigerating solid solution alloys, Gd1-x-C-x (x <= 5 at.%) and Gd0.98-xDyxC0.02 (x <= 20 at.%), were investigated together with a consideration of mechanical properties required by the container of the refrigerant material in a magnetic refrigerator. The results show that the micro-hardness of pure gadolinium metal can be much improved by adding carbon. The Curie temperature and adiabatic temperature changes of the Gd1-xCx (x < 0.05) alloys change little compared with pure gadolinium. The Curie temperature of Gd0.98-xDyxC0.02 alloys can be tuned by adding dysprosium and their adiabatic temperature changes do not change much in a magnetic field change of 0-1 T.
