Structural state and magnetic properties of cementite alloyed with manganese

Using X-ray diffraction analysis, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and magnetic measurements, the structure, parameters of hyperfine interactions, localization of Mn atoms in the lattice, coercive force, and specific saturation magnetization have been investigated in the mechanically alloyed and annealed cementite (alloyed with manganese) of compositions (Fe1 − x Mn x )3C (x = 0–0.12). It has been shown that strongly deformed cementite resides in the low-coercivity state and, after annealing in the vicinity of 500°C, in the high-coercivity state. Alloying with manganese reduces the coercive force, the specific saturation magnetization, and the Curie temperature of cementite. Inhomogeneities of the distribution of manganese atoms indicate the temperature dependence of the coercive force of mechanically alloyed and annealed cementite samples.
