Extract

IN 1903 Heusler made the important discovery that alloys of copper, manganese, and aluminium are strongly magnetic. It was shown in the paper published by Heusler that by properly adjusting the amounts of the component metals present an alloy is obtained the permeability of which is comparable with that of cast iron. Heusler also demonstrated the fact that the properties of this alloy are profoundly modified by thermal treatment.
