摘要
Due to the hydrogen embrittlement effect,La(Fe,Si)_(13)-based hydrides can only exist in powder form,which limits their practical application.In this work,ductile and thermally conductive Al metal was homogeneously mixed with La_(0.5)Pr_(0.5)Fe_(11.4)Si_(1.6)B_(0.2)using the ball milling method.Then hydrogenation and compactness shaping of the magnetocaloric composites were performed in one step via a sintering process under high hydrogen pressure.As the Al content reached 9 wt.%,the La_(0.5)Pr_(0.5)Fe_(11.4)Si_(1.6)B_(0.2)H_(y)/Al composite showed the mechanical behavior of a ductile material with a yield strength of~44 MPa and an ultimate strength of 269 MPa accompanied by a pronounced improvement in thermal conductivity.Due to the ease of formation of Fe-Al-Si phases and the several micron and submicron sizes of the composite particles caused by ball milling process,the magnetic entropy change of the composites was substantially reduced to~1.2 J/kg·K-1.5 J/kg·K at 0 T-1.5 T.
