Abstract
Advanced magnetic refrigerants such as La(Fe,Si)13 materials require large entropy and adiabatic temperature changes based on the control of phase change physics and hysteresis. In order to advance their incorporation in prototypes and industrial applications, processing of single phase materials with graded working temperatures needs to be up-scaled and important engineering properties such as the thermal transport properties, corrosion protection and mechanical stability need to be optimized. These issues, including a last step of near net-shaped manufacturing of complex geometries, are discussed in this Viewpoint paper.
