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.
A recent publication led by researchers from the University of Seville within the CoCoMag consortium has been selected as the cover story for the second issue of Materials Futures in 2026.
The CoCoMag project is pleased to share that Prof. Dr. Oliver Gutfleisch, from Technische Universität Darmstadt, Coordinator of the CoCoMag project, was invited to speak at INTERMAG 2026 (13 – 17 April 2026), held in Manchester, United Kingdom.
