The present invention relates to a thermoelectric material, and more particularly to a P-type iron silicide thermoelectric material that can provide a large output. Thermoelectric materials that directly convert thermal energy into electrical energy have physical properties such as high thermoelectric power (Seebeck coefficient) and low specific resistance and thermal conductivity. In addition to the above-mentioned physical properties, thermoelectric materials that can be used in high-temperature atmosphere must also have chemical properties such as excellent heat resistance and oxidation resistance. A 3d-transition metal silicide can be cited as a material that fairly satisfies these conditions. Among these silicides, iron silicides are particularly excellent thermoelectric power generation materials in that they can generate a very large thermoelectromotive force. (Patent No. 930773 by the present inventor). However, this silicide P-type thermoelectric material has a relatively high resistivity, and when used as a power source for a hot-air heater that uses gas or oil as a heat source, for example, it requires a large current to rotate the motor. The drawback was that it was not suitable for extracting electricity. An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and provide a P-type thermoelectric power generating material that can obtain a large force without deteriorating the thermoelectromotive force of iron silicide. The present inventors previously reported that Fe0.95Mn0.05Si2−zAlz
Create an alloy, change the amount of aluminum added, z,
As a result of determining the specific resistance, thermoelectromotive force, and output, it was found that the output increases when a specific amount of aluminum is contained. As a result of further research, the inventors of the present invention found that even greater output could be obtained by reducing the amount of manganese added from the above 0.05 (1.67 atoms), increasing the amount of aluminum added, and keeping the total amount within a specific range. The present invention was completed based on this knowledge. The gist of the present invention is that manganese element and aluminum element are contained in iron silicide, and manganese is contained in an amount of 0.5 to less than 1.67 at%, and the total amount of manganese and aluminum is
It is a thermoelectric material consisting of an alloy or solid solution containing 2.0 to 4.7 at%. In the present invention, the content of manganese element is 0.5~
If the total amount of aluminum and manganese is less than 1.67 atom% and the sum of aluminum and manganese is 2.0 to 4.7 atom%, the thermoelectromotive force will not deteriorate and a large output can be obtained, but if the aluminum content is less than 0.33 atom%, only manganese will be contained. When the thermoelectromotive force and output match those of the thermoelectromotive force and the content is greater than 4.2 at%, the thermoelectromotive force becomes smaller and the output also decreases. The P-type thermoelectric power generation material of the present invention can be obtained in the shape of a cylinder or a prism by a general casting method, but it can be obtained using low-purity raw materials (recycled iron, metal silicon).
It is extremely difficult to obtain a product without casting holes (pinholes, bubbles) or minute cracks.
Therefore, it is preferable to manufacture such a product by powder metallurgy. The following examples are carried out using powder metallurgy. Examples Iron, metallic silicon (purity 98% or more), manganese,
Fe 1 −xMnxSi 2.1 −zAlz
This mixture is melted using a high-frequency melting furnace and cast into an iron casting to produce iron silicon containing 0.60 to 2.70 at% of manganese element and 0.30 to 3.1 at% of aluminum element. Created a chemical alloy. Each of these alloys was made into powder of several μm using an iron stamp mill and a ball mill. This powder was sintered at 1100℃ for 3 minutes under an argon atmosphere under a pressure of 250Kg/ cm2 , and then sintered at 800℃ for 3 minutes.
Thermoelectric material (3 x 8 x 25 mm 3 ) after heat treatment at ℃ for 50 hours
I got it. The electromotive force, average specific resistance, and effective maximum output of the thermoelectric material were as shown in Table 1. For comparison, results are also shown for cases in which Mn is contained alone and in cases where the contents of Mn and Al are different from those in the present invention. Note that these values were taken at a temperature difference of 800°C, and the average resistivity and effective maximum output correspond to the internal resistance and maximum output per unit volume, respectively.

れる優れた効果を奏し得られる。
[Table] As shown by these results, according to the present invention,
The thermoelectromotive force decreases little, and the output can be significantly increased, providing an excellent effect.
