Al–Mn Hard Magnetic Alloys as Promising Materials for Permanent Magnets (Review)

Russian Journal of Inorganic Chemistry volume 65, pages2007–2019(2020)Cite this article

Abstract–

Permanent magnets constitute an important base for advanced technologies. Rare-earth-based alloys are currently the main permanent magnet materials. Due to the limited availability and high costs, these magnets are, as a rule, used in small items. In large-scale equipment (e.g., in generators, motors, including magnetic levitation transport devices), more affordable and cheaper materials are addressed. Manganese-based alloys, in particular, AlMn, may be regarded as examples of these materials. In Russia, extensive research activity into aluminum–manganese alloys was during the period from the 1960s to the 1990s [1–3]. In other countries this research activity has continued till now. More than one hundred articles were published during the last decade. Most of them address bulk and film samples of the metastable magnetic phase τ-AlMn. Our review focuses on an analysis and systematization of contemporary studies into the preparation and properties of manganese–aluminum alloys; perhaps, it will serve to popularize research into manganese-based intermetallics as promising materials for permanent magnets in Russia.
