The technical team at LCM have contributed to a new publication entitled “Structural and magnetic properties of rapidly solidified and Bi-bonded hot compacted Mn53.3−xAl45C1.7Tix magnets”. It explores in detail the impact of Ti doping on the phase formation and magnetic properties of Mn–Al–C alloys.
This paper showcases work from the PASSENGER project which launched in May 2021. PASSENGER (Pilot Action for Securing a Sustainable European Next Generation of Efficient RE-free Magnets) is pioneering a novel method to create permanent magnets without the use of rare-earth materials. LCM is responsible for casting the initial ingots, which require precise and complex compositional control, to be transformed into magnets. Additionally, LCM has devised an innovative strip casting technique for the desired magnetic alloy, ensuring the right magnetic properties through a unique composition developed in collaboration with the project consortium.
