Spark Plasma Sintered La0.8Ce0.2Fe9.2Co0.6Si1.2/Fe Composites with Superior Properties for Near-Room-Temperature Magnetocaloric Applications
La0.8Ce0.2Fe9.2Co0.6Si1.2/Fe bulk composites were fabricated via spark plasma sintering (SPS), and the effects of Fe powder content on the phase composition, microstructure, magnetic properties, mechanical properties, and thermal conductivity of the composites were investigated. The Fe powder content alters the α-Fe ph...
