La(Fe,Si)13-based compounds with cubic NaZn13-type structure have been used in the magnetic refrigeration technology because of their giant magnetocaleric effects [1]-[3]. However, the La(Fe,Si)13 ingot usually needs to be annealed for at least 7 days to obtain NaZn13-type 1:13 phase [4]-[7]. Long heat treatment time is not beneficial to practical applications. Melt-spun method for preparing La(Fe,Si)13-based strips is considered as a feasible way to shorten heat treatment time [8], [9]. But few works focused on the effect of the condition of post heat treatment on the peritectoid reaction of the La(Fe,Si)13-based strips. On the other hand, as a promising candidate for magnetic refrigeration application, the heat exchange between La(Fe,Si)13-based compounds and the load must be done through fluid media which is usually distilled water. Therefore, the corrosion stability of those compounds must be seen critical [10], [11]. In this paper, the influence of pressure and time during annealing process on the peritectoid reaction as well as the corrosion behavior of the La0.xCe0.xFe11.2xMn0.xxSi1.x strips was investigated.
yes,that\'s the INTRODUCTION of my paper. no ROU,you happy? M*F*!
