4 were synthesized and a series of their mixtures were prepared from ethanol solution. The nonisothermal kinetics of solid-solid phase transitions in C
12Mn, C
14Mn and their binary system was investigated by DSC. Kissinger and Ozawa methods were applied to determine the activation energy and reaction order of the solid-solid transitions, and the results of two methods are coincident. The value of activation energy Ea showed fluctuant with increasing
XC12Mn. The reaction order of C
nZn and their binary system is about 1.
