Patent ID: 11738389

Abstract:
An alloy represented by the formula (MnxAly)Cz, the alloy being aluminum (Al), manganese (Mn), and carbon (C), and optionally unavoidable impurities; wherein x=56.0 to 59.0 y=41.0 to 44.0 x+y=100, and z=1.5 to 2.4. The alloy is highly suitable for forming the ε and τ phase in high purity and high microstructural homogeneity. A method for processing an alloy of formula (Mnx′Aly′)Cz′, wherein x′=52.0 to 59.0, y′=41.0 to 48.0, x′+y′=100, and z′=0.1 to 3.0, the process including providing the raw materials of the alloy, melting the raw materials, and forming particles of the alloy by gas atomization of the molten alloy.
