Annealing conditions, including annealing atmosphere and gas flow rate, upon the magnetic and structural properties of mechanically alloyed (MA) Mn0.53Al0.47?xCx (x = 0-0.015) alloy powders were systematically investigated. The gas flow rate produced the most significant effect on the stabilization of the magnetic ¦Ó phase resulting in magnetization M(H=10kOe) = 72 emu/g, remanent magnetization Mr = 37 emu/g and coercivity Hc = 1.9 kOe in optimized heat-treated MA Mn0.53Al0.46C0.01 powders. Importantly, under the application of a 50 kOe magnetic field, M(H=50kOe) increased to 97 emu/g which is the highest value measured to date for this system.
