Effect of Quenching and Normalizing on the Microstructure and Magnetocaloric Effect of a Cu–11Al–9Zn Alloy with 6.5 wt % Ni–2.5 wt % Fe

Effect of Quenching and Normalizing on the Microstructure and Magnetocaloric Effect of a Cu–11Al–9Zn Alloy with 6.5 wt % Ni–2.5 wt % Fe

First-order phase transitions (FOPT) and second-order phase transitions (SOPT) are commonly observed in Cu alloys containing lanthanide elements, due to their electronic configuration, and have an important effect on the optimization of their magnetocaloric effect (MCE). Alloys containing rare earth...
