The aim of the CoCoMag is to synthesize, produce and test new alloys suitable for permanent magnets and magnetocaloric applications without using highly critical elements like rare earth and cobalt. This step is crucial to accelerate the electrification of our infrastructures.
Our alloys consist of several main elements in relatively high concentrations, known in technical jargon as high entropy alloys. This allows the properties of the individual elements to be fully exploited, which means that the new magnets will not only be more sustainable, but also with additional functionalities such as malleability and corrosion-resistance.
The Current Research in Magnetism and Magnetic Materials: From Fundamentals to Applications (CRMMM'24) workshop, hosted by the University of Sevilla, proved to be a pivotal event for advancing the goals of the CoCoMag project. By fostering the exchange of cutting-edge research, innovative methodologies, and practical skills, the workshop underscored the intersection of foundational science and…
The CRC/TRR270 HoMMage proudly hosted a special colloquium recently in December 2024 featuring Victorino Franco’s thought-provoking presentation, “Hysteresis and Reversibility of Magnetocaloric Materials: A Chase after Applicability.” Held at TU Darmstadt in Germany and accessible online via Zoom, Victorino’s engaging insights into magnetocaloric high-entropy alloys inspired lively discussions during the Q&A session, igniting the possibility…
Zhe and Elisa, CoCoMag team members from the University of Sevilla, presented their work in CoCoMag at the 8th Young Researchers in Magnetism Conference, held in Santander.
