Influence of ternary addition of transition elements (Cr, Si and Mn) on the microstructure and magnetic properties of nano-structured CuCo alloy

► Mn is the most effective element in enhancing the solubility of Co in Cu by milling. ► 40 wt% Co completely dissolved in Cu by 10 h of milling in the presence of Mn. ► Magnetic properties of CuCo alloy were influenced by the addition of Mn.
