Drastically reduced use of rare earths in applications of magnetocalorics (DRREAM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"We will examine the life cycle of rare earth metals used in magnetic phase change technologies. Our primary focus is on room temperature magnetic cooling, a near-market solid state alternative to gas compression in which a phase change “magnetocaloric” material is magnetised by a permanent magnet. We will address the fabrication, manufacture and use of the magnetocaloric material, aiming: (1) ...
