R is at least a kind of rare earth element selecting from Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Er, Tm and Yb in the formula, M is at least a element of selecting from Ag, Au, Al, Ga, In, Ge, Sn, Sb, Si, Bi, Ni, Pd, Pt, Zn, Co, Rh, Ir, Mn, Fe, Ru, Cr, Mo, W, V, Nb, Ta, Ti, Zr and Hf, x, y are with atomic ratio measuring in the formula, satisfy 0≤x≤0.5 respectively, 0≤y≤0.5, x+y ≠ 0.
In magnetic substance with above-mentioned general formula (1) or (2) expression, the R composition is at least a kind of element selecting from the rare earth element of Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Er, Ho (formula is removed (2)), Tm and Yb, and the M composition is at least a element of selecting from Ag, Au, Al, Ga, In, Ge, Sn, Sb, Si, Bi, Ni, Pd, Pt, Zn, Co, Rh, Ir, Mn, Fe, Ru, Cr, Mo, W, V, Nb, Ta, Ti, Zr and Hf.Add these R compositions and M composition, for the temperature position of the volume ratio thermal spike that makes any magnetic substance moves to the lower side of temperature, and the width of ratio thermal peak is so that realize the effective specific heat feature of cool storage material.
In above-mentioned general formula (1),, be taken as-0.95～0.90 with the x of atomic ratio measuring with respect to the decrement that adds of R composition Cu composition and M composition.When the above-mentioned amount x of adjusting is lower than-0.95, RCu
1-xM
1+xIn fact approach simple binary system RCu
2, and surpass at 0.90 o'clock, in fact approach RM
2This moment is because the ratio thermal spike half-breadth value of magnetic substance is very narrow, so, can not keep very high specific heat in wide temperature province, simultaneously, also be difficult to the temperature position of control ratio thermal spike.So it is x is preferably-0.60≤x≤0.60, better in-0.40≤x≤0.40 scope.
In above-mentioned general formula (2), with respect to Ho and Cu, replacement amount x, the y of R composition and M composition with atomic ratio measuring, are taken as 0～0.5.When above-mentioned replacement amount x or y surpass 0.5, the temperature position of volume ratio thermal spike can be moved very big, can reduce the volume specific heat near the temperature province of desired 4K, perhaps, half-breadth value width than thermal spike is too expanded, peak height can reduce again, and the volume ratio thermal change of magnetic substance gets undesirablely in the extremely low temperature zone, has reduced its function again as cool storage material.
Therefore, in the magnetic substance of above-mentioned general formula (2) expression, when adding a kind of in R and the M composition in the magnetotropism body, the temperature position of volume ratio thermal spike can be moved to low temperature side, and effectively enlarges the half-breadth value width than thermal spike.Therefore, addition (replacement amount) x of above-mentioned R composition and M composition, the lower value of y, both sides all can be defined as zero, but the value of x and y can not be 0 simultaneously, promptly will satisfy the relational expression of x+y ≠ 0.
In the magnetic substance of above-mentioned general formula (1), (2) expression, as the R composition, though can use at least a kind in the above-mentioned various rare earth element, but wherein Ce, Pr, Nd, Er, Dy, Ho (formula is removed in (2)), Tb and Gd are most appropriate to improve the ratio thermal property of cool storage material, and Pr, Nd, Er, Dy, Ho (formula is removed in (2)) are special ideal.
And as the M composition, in the above-mentioned metallic element, particularly Ag, Al, Ni, Ga, In, Ge, Sn, Si are ideal, and Al, Ga, Ge, Sn are better.For the M composition, the same with the R composition, by selecting several elements, can control the ratio thermal spike half-breadth value width of magnetic substance and than the temperature position of thermal spike.
In the magnetic substance of above-mentioned general formula (1) or (2) expression, have the hexagonal system of at least 50% (volume) (50～99.99% (volume)) or the magnetic substance of rhombic system crystalline structure, desirable especially as cool storage material.Hexagonal system or rhombic system and isometric system are the low crystalline structure of symmetry relatively.The inventor confirms, the symmetry of crystalline structure, and the effect by the xln field produces greatly influence to the ratio thermal property of cool storage material.Past, it is generally acknowledged when demonstration is narrower than thermal spike half-breadth value width to have the high crystalline structure of this symmetry of steep isometric system than thermal spike trend, be ideal as cool storage material.
On the other hand, the inventor is conceived to this cliffy summit, compares thermal spike but be conceived to the wideer wide cut of half-breadth value width.That is,, be conceived to hexagonal system that symmetry is low or rhombic system magnetic substance as main body in wideer temperature province, realizing higher specific heat.
The crystal symmetry of hexagonal system is higher slightly than rhombic system, because its crystal symmetry that presents is between isometric system and the rhombic system, so the specific heat peakedness ratio is higher, half-breadth value width is also than broad.That is, owing to can in very wide temperature range, obtain the good ratio thermal property of balance, so, be special ideal.
And, magnetic substance with above-mentioned general formula (1) or (2) expression, can be easy to from the state graph that contains the rare earth element material analogize, so, be difficult to realize the single phase structure structure, normally by compound between the different several metal of ratio of components mutually with constituted mutually by the impurity of forming as oxide compound or carbide etc.This weave construction form (metal structure), even form under the identical situation in target, ambiance in the time of also can forming content, melt temperature, the fusion of trace impurities such as oxygen and carbon along with the mixing of raw material and setting rate are slightly different and change.Particularly the process of cooling in the high-temperature area from fusing point to solidus curve is woven with very sensitive influence to metal group, so extremely difficult controlled chilling process.
In the magnetic substance metal structure that constitutes cool storage material of the present invention, contain rare earth metal or its sosoloid, unsatisfactory.That is, rare earth metal or its sosoloid and the intermetallic compound that contains rare earth element relatively because lower than thermal property, are not preferably separated out in metal structure as much as possible.Therefore, above-mentioned metal structure of not separating out rare earth metal or its sosoloid can mix by the raw material in control feedstock production stage and form, and promptly reduces by 1 R composition slightly from target is formed, and just can realize.
Magnetic substance ratio with above-mentioned hexagonal system or rhombic system crystalline structure is preferably in 50% (volume) or greater than 50% (volume).When the ratio of this crystalline structure was lower than 50% (volume), specific heat was big, became undesirable, in addition, also became sharply than thermal spike, during as cool storage material, can reduce the cold-storage effect.Consider that from above-mentioned viewpoint the magnetic substance ratios with six upright crystallographic systems or rhombic system crystalline structure are preferably in 70% (volume) or more than it, 80% (volume) or it more than better.
As previously mentioned, constitute the metal structure form of magnetic substance, the influence of complicated factors such as ambiance when being easy to be subjected to mixing content, melt temperature, the fusion of the trace impurities such as fine difference, oxygen and carbon of composition and setting rate.Therefore, be difficult to determine that a kind of method realizes above-mentioned metal construction.Particularly, under the situation of ternary or its above multicomponent system, it is very complicated that phasor becomes, and is difficult to realize desired metal construction.
But,, proved the following fact according to present inventors' opinion.When preparing magnetic particle by raw material melt alloy, use fast quench methods such as centrifugal spraying method and gas atomization method, and, and the temperature of melt alloy is set at than the high 100～300K of raw material fusing point, then can be easy to obtain to have the above-mentioned metal construction that needs ratio.
For steadily being flowed into, working mediums (cooling agent) such as helium loaded in the regenerator of cool storage material, simultaneously, for improving the heat exchanger effectiveness between above-mentioned working medium and the cool storage material, and for the stable maintenance hot-swap feature, above-mentioned cool storage material preferably is made of the spherical magnetic particle of particle diameter unanimity.Specifically, in all magnetic particles that constitute above-mentioned cool storage material, the ratio of the preferred line of apsides (shape than) is below 5, and preferable particle size is that the magnetic particle ratio of 0.01～3mm is controlled at 70% (weight) or more than it.
The grain size of magnetic particle is the individual factor that produces a very large impact for the refrigerating function and the heat transfer characteristic of particle intensity, refrigerator, when grain size during less than 0.01mm, when in regenerator, loading, density can be too high, cooling agent (heat-eliminating medium) He gas is sharply increased by resistance (pressure-losses), along with mobile He gas cut is gone in the compressor, component parts is worn prematurely, cause its life-span to descend.
On the other hand, when grain size surpasses 3mm, produce segregation in the crystalline structure of granule, become fragile, simultaneously, the heat transfer area between magnetic particle and the heat-eliminating medium He gas diminishes, and heat transfer efficiency is significantly reduced.When this oversize particle surpasses 30% (weight), will cause the cold-storage performance to reduce.Therefore, the median size size is set between 0.01～3mm, is preferably between 0.05～1.0mm, more preferably between 0.1～0.5mm.
In the practical application, for refrigerating function and the intensity of giving full play to cool storage material, for whole magnetic cold-storage material particles, the particle with above-mentioned particle diameter is at least in 70% (weight), be preferably in 80% (weight) or bigger, be more preferably and account for 90% (weight) or bigger.
, be preferably in below 3 below 5 according to the ratio of the line of apsides of magnetic particle of the present invention (shape than), better below 2, it is especially good to be set in below 1.3.The shape of magnetic particle comparison particle intensity and filling density and homogeneity when loading in regenerator produce very big influence, when the shape ratio surpasses 5, be subjected to mechanical effect, be easy to cause the deformation failure of magnetic particle, simultaneously, be difficult to evenly, and in regenerator, load to high-density, make the space form homogeneous,, will cause the reduction of cold-storage efficient when this particle accounts for 30% (weight) of the total particle of cool storage material when above.
When utilizing molten metal quenching legal system to be equipped with magnetic particle, the deviation of the ratio of the deviation of its particle diameter and the line of apsides relatively, reduces, so the magnetic particle ratio outside the above-mentioned particle size range is very little when being equipped with the plasma jet legal system of using routine greatly.Even the generation deviation is easy to that also it is carried out suitable classification and is used.At this moment, be filled in all magnetic particles of regenerator inside, shape is set in 70% or bigger than the magnetic particle ratio in above-mentioned scope, is preferably in 80% or bigger, better 90% or bigger, so that obtain fully durable cool storage material.
Magnetic particle average crystalline particle diameter by the preparation of molten metal quenching method is set in 0.5mm or littler, and perhaps at least a portion of alloy structure makes the amorphism material, then can form the long lifetime magnetic particle of very high strength.
The surfaceness of magnetic particle also is the resistance that passes through to physical strength, cooling characteristic, heat-eliminating medium, the factor that cold-storage efficient etc. produces a very large impact, and according to the regulation of JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) B 0601, concavo-convex maximum height R
MaxGenerally at 10 μ m or below it, be preferably in 5 μ m or below it, better be set in 2 μ m or below it.Its surfaceness can utilize scanning tunnel microscope (STM roughmeter) to measure.
