摘要

We proposed a material composition based on Fe81-xNbxB2Co2Cr5Zr10 alloys to effectively balance the cooling efficiency and cost of consumption in magnetic refrigerators. Fe81-xNbxB2Co2Cr5Zr10 alloy ribbons were prepared by using a melt-spinning method and their magnetocaloric effect (MCE) was investigated through the measurements of magnetization. The Curie temperature (TC) was successfully adjusted from 320 K (x = 0) to room temperature (298 K) with an Nb substitution (x = 2) to Fe. Besides a small hysteresis loss (coercive field about 0.005 T), its maximum magnetic entropy change (|ΔSm|max) was 1.0 J·kg−1·K−1 at 298 K under a magnetic field gradient (µ0ΔH) of 1.2 T and deduced to be 2.8 J·kg−1·K−1 with a µ0ΔH = 1.2 T. Moreover, this composition alloy exhibits a considerable refrigerant capacity (96.9 J·kg−1) for µ0ΔH = 1.2 T. The trade-off between the lowering TC to room temperature, small hysteresis loss, and decline of |ΔSm|max can be attributed to the micro-alloyed composition with Nb. Due to these criteria characteristics for MCE materials, the Fe79Nb2B2Co2Cr5Zr10 composition alloy can be a potential material for magnetic refrigerant at room temperature.
