Structural and magnetic properties of Sm（Co0.7Fe0.1Ni0.12Zr0.04B0.047.5） melt spun isotropic and anisotropic ribbons

We investigated the structural and magnetic properties of Sm(Co0.7Fe0.1Ni0.12Zr0.04B0.04)7.5 melt spun ribbons. Samples were arc melted then melt spun at 37 m/s up to 55 m/s to obtain ribbon for powdering. Annealing was performed in argon atmosphere for 30- 75 min at 600-870 oC. In as-spun ribbons the hexagonal SmCo7 (TbCu7-type of structure) of crystal structure was determined from x-ray diffraction patterns, while fcc-Co has been identified as a secondary phase. After annealing, the 1:7 phase of the as-spun ribbons transformed into 2:17 and 1:5 phases. X-ray patterns for as-milled powders exhibited very broad peaks making it difficult to identify a precise structure but repre-sented the 1:7 structure after annealing at low temperature (650 oC). TEM analysis showed a homogeneous nanocrystalline microstructure with average grain size of 30-80 nm. Coercivity values of 15-27 kOe were obtained from hysteresis loops traced up to a field of 5 T. The co-ercivity decreased as temperature increases, but it maintained values higher than 5 kOe at 380 oC. The maximum energy product at room temperature increased, as high as 7.2 MGOe, for melt-spun isotropic ribbons produced at higher wheel speeds. Anisotropic ribbons had a maximum energy product close to 12 MGOe.     

Texture of Nanocomposite Nd2Fe14B/α-Fe Melt Spun Ribbons

Highly textured nanocomposite Nd9Fe84.5Nb0.5B6 ribbons were obtained by rapid solidification at wheel speeds from 15 to 20 m·s-1.X-ray diffraction(XRD)shows that these ribbons are preferentially orientated with the c axis of Nd2Fe14B phase perpendicular to the surface of the ribbons.The texture of Nd2Fe14B phase on the free surface is stronger than that on the contact surface and decreases with increase of wheel speed.The texture of Nd2Fe14B phase seems to be caused by the preferential growth of the crystal nuclei favorable orientation with their c-axes along the temperature gradient during rapid solidification,which can be explained by a growth circular cone(GCC).The intensity of the anisotropy can be expressed by the magnitude of the cone generating angle.The supercooling velocity and wheel speed will influence the cone generating angle,which in turn influences the anisotropy.The remanence and maximum energy product in the direction perpendicular to the ribbon surface is much higher than that in the direction parallel with the ribbon surface.High remanence and maximum energy product can be obtained in the direction perpendicular to the ribbon surface.The texture of Nd2Fe14B phase decreases gradually after annealing above 600 ℃,which is mainly attributed to the precipitation of new α-Fe from Nd2Fe14B phase with super-saturated Fe.Decreasing the annealing temperature or reducing the annealing time is beneficial for preserving the anisotropy of Nd2Fe14B phase after annealing.     

Fe81Zr5Nb4B10非晶合金的晶化过程及其磁性研究

采用单辊快淬法制备Fe81Zr5Nb4B10非晶合金带,并在不同温度下对其进行退火处理,利用XRD和振动样品磁强计(VSM)测试了合金自由面和贴辊面的结构及磁性能。结果表明:随着退火温度的增加,淬态合金由完全的非晶态结构转变为非晶与纳米晶的混合结构,晶粒尺寸、晶化体积分数增大,晶粒间的非晶层厚度减小。和自由面相比,贴辊面的晶粒尺寸较大,晶化体积分数较小,晶粒间的非晶层厚度较大。合金的矫顽力和比饱和磁化强度σs随着退火温度的升高逐渐增大。     

Preferred Orientation in Nanocomposite Permanent Magnet Materials

Melt-spun （Nd11.4Fe82.9B5.7）0.99M1 ribbons （M = Zr, Nb, Ga, Zr＋ Ga, Nb ＋ Ga）were prepared by melt-spinning technique. Ga addition is found to be effective for the orientation of c-axis of Nd2Fe14B grains perpendicular to the ribbon plane. Better magnetic properties can be achieved by adding both the two kinds of elements Zr ＋ Ga, Nb ＋ Ga, and it is found that the preferred orientation is further improved. The alignment degree changes with ribbon thickness and is highest when ribbon thickness is 120 μm. Heat treatment can improve the texture degree, but lead to coarser grains. Cryogenic treatment is first applied for the treatment of nanocomposite Nd2Fe14B/α-Fe melt-spun ribbons. The effects on magnetic properties and texture degree of nanocomposite magnets after cryogenic treatment were studied. The result shows that cryogenic treatment is beneficial to the enhancement of texture degree of melt-spun ribbon and the grain size has no obvious change.

Effect of cobalt substitution on magnetic properties and microstructure of nanocrystalline （NdDyTb）12.3（FeZrNbCu）81.7B6.0 ribbons

Effect of Co substitution and annealing treatment on the formation, magnetic properties and microstructure of (NdOyTb)12.3(FeZrNbCu)81.7CoxB6(x=0-15) ribbons prepared by rapid quenching and subsequent annealing was systematically investi-gated by means of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Phase analysis revealed single-phase material. The remanence polarization Jr and maximum en-ergy product (BH)max increased with increasing x from 0 to 12 and then decreased for x=lS. The intrinsic coercivity Hci of (NdDyTb)12.3 (FeZrNbCU)81.7-xCoxB6 ribbons optimally processed decreased from 1308.7 kA/m for x=0 to 817.4 kA/m for x=15. Optimum magnetic properties with Jr=1.041 T, Hci=944.9 kA/m and (BH)max=155.1 kJ/m3 were achieved by annealing melt-spun ribbon (x=-12) at 675℃ for 10 min. There was no significant influence of Co substitution on microstructure.     

Magnetoimpedance, magnetoinductance and AC magnetoresistance studies on amorphous and nanocrystalline ribbons

A systematic investigation of the influence of Al and V on the magnetoimpedance (MI), magnetoinductance (mi) and AC Magnetoresistance (ACMR) effect in melt-spun Fe_73.5Si_13.5B₈CuNb_(3?x)V_xAl (x=0,1,1.5,3) ribbons has been performed in the frequency range 500 kHz — 13 MHz and under dc magnetic field (H _ext ) up to 60 Oe. Nanocrystals of α-FeSi were observed, when annealed at 500°C in vaccum. MI, mi and ACMR were measured using impedance analyzer. Largest peak mi, MI and ACMR of 1615%, 61% and 69% were observed for the nanocrystalline x=1.0 ribbon, at 100 kHz, 10 MHz and 13 MHz respectively. Magnetic domain structure was studied in the ribbons through magnetic force microscopy.     

Co基非晶丝退火处理及对巨磁阻抗效应

 采用熔体抽拉法制备了直径59μm 的Co68.25Fe4.5Si12.25B15非晶丝，并在400℃、500℃进行了不同工艺的退火处理，分析了退火前后丝的巨磁阻抗（GMI）效应。结果表明，400℃退火处理降低了丝的各向异性场，提高GMI效应以及双峰出现频率，并大幅提高了磁场响应灵敏度。400℃保温20min退火样品双峰出现频率提高至13MHz。400℃保温80min退火样品低频GMI效应最强，最大阻抗变化率△Z/Z达到468.6%，5MHz时磁场响应灵敏度为57.9%/Oe。 500℃退火，由于晶化析出导致GMI效应降低，双峰出现频率降至3MHz。实验表明经适当退火处理的Co基熔体抽拉丝可用以制备高灵敏度磁传感器的磁敏材料。     

High coercivity Nd-Ce-Fe-B nanostructured ribbons prepared from melt spinning technique

The Ce-substituted(Nd_(1-x)Ce_x)_(12.2) Fe_(81.6) B_(6.2)(x=0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) nanocrystalline ribbons were prepared by annealing amorphous ribbons from melt spinning. It is found that all ribbons are in a multiphase state consisting of a-Fe phase, Nd(Ce)-rich phases and RE_2 Fe_(14) B(RE = Nd, Ce) phases. However, the coercivity of all annealed ribbons can reach a considerably high value without doping any heavy rare earth or other coercivity enhanced elements. A strong intergranular exchange coupling appears in these nanocrystalline ribbons. The Nd_(12.2) Fe_(81.6) B_(6.2) ribbons with multiphase have a coercivity of about 11.3 k Oe, and the coercivity decreases slightly with increasing Ce content. A coercivity of 7.5 kOe can be obtained when60 at% of Nd is replaced by Ce(x = 0.6) due to the grain refinement and the strong intergranular exchange coupling. This provides a practical approach of fabricating high coercivity Ce-substituted Nd-Fe-B materials.     

Microstructure and magnetic properties of bulk magnets Nd_(14-x)Fe_(76+x)Co_3Zr_1B_6(x=0,0.5,1) prepared by spark plasma sintering

Influence of Melt-Spinning Parameters on the Structure and Soft Magnetic Properties of (Fe0.65Co0.35)88Zr7B4Cu1 Alloy

Melt-spun ribbons of (Fe_0.65Co_0.35)₈₈Zr₇B₄Cu₁ alloy have been prepared at different wheel speeds, namely, 47, 39, 34, and 17 m/s, and subsequently annealed at 773 K (500 °C) under controlled atmosphere. Structural and soft magnetic properties have been evaluated using X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, transmission electron microscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The structure of as-spun ribbons changes from fully amorphous to partially amorphous/nanocrystalline to fully nanocrystalline (bcc α-Fe(Co) + Fe₂Zr) on decreasing the wheel speed. Annealing of amorphous ribbons leads to the precipitation of nanocrystalline bcc α-Fe(Co) phase. The Curie temperature (T _c ) of the amorphous phase is found to increase with decreasing wheel speed possibly due to the effect of exchange field penetration of nanocrystals present in the amorphous matrix. The saturation magnetization (4πM _s ) of as-spun ribbons having partially nanocrystalline bcc α-Fe(Co) phase is high as compared to the ribbons with completely amorphous phase, and it remains almost the same even after annealing. The lowest coercivity has been achieved in the ribbons that are fully amorphous, and the coercivity was found to increase with decreasing wheel speed.     

Investigation of Structure and Magnetic Properties of Rare Earth-Leaned Pr2(Fe,Co)14(C,B)-Type Nanocomposites

The phase evolution and magnetic properties of Pr_xFe_82-x-yTi_yCo₁₀B₄C₄ (x=9–10.5; y=0, 2) melt-spun ribbons have been investigated. The effects of wheel speed and annealing on the crystallization and magnetic properties of the ribbons were emphatically discussed. It was found that Ti substitution enhances the glass forming ability of the Pr₂(Fe,Co)₁₄(C,B)-type ribbons. For the high wheel speed V_s (18 m/s), the Ti-substitution ribbons consist of significant amorphous phase, and show a typical two-step magnetic behavior, while most of Ti-free ribbons are mainly composed of the crystallized 2:14:1, α-(Fe, Co) and 2:17 phases. With decrease in wheel speed, all these composition of ribbons are crystallized, and more magnetically hard 2:14:1 phase is formed in the ribbons. The content of metastable 2:17 phase in the ribbons decreases with increasing Pr and Ti substitution. A B_r of 9.5 kG, _iH_c of 9.8 kOe, and (BH)_max of 16.0 MGOe were obtained in the as-spun Ti-substitution Pr_10.5Fe_69.5Ti₂Co₁₀B₄C4 ribbon prepared at V_s=15 m/s. For all the as-spun Ti-free ribbons prepared at different wheel speed V_s, the (BH)_max is lower than 10 MGOe owing to poor demagnetization-curve shape. Ti substitution also helps suppressing the grain growth of 2:17 phase during annealing process, and simultaneously, gently promoting the growth of magnetically hard 2:14:1 phase. Annealing treatment significantly improves the magnetic properties of the Ti-substitution ribbons with higher Pr content. No obvious promotion of magnetic properties was found in the Ti-free ribbons after annealing.     

Effect of yttrium substitution on magnetic properties and microstructure of Nd-Y-Fe-B nanocomposite magnets

The phase evolution,microstructure and magnetic properties of Nd9-xYxFe72Ti2Zr2B15(x=0,0.5,1,2) nanocomposite ribbons were investigated.It was found that substitution of Y enhanced glass forming ability of the over-quenched ribbons and stabilized the amorphous phase during post annealing treatment.Appropriate content of Y substitution effectively refined the microstructure and enhanced the remanence of the annealed samples.The residual amorphous intergranular phase in the annealed sample improved the square...     

Glass Forming Ability and Magnetic Property of Fe74Al4Sn2 （PSiB）20 Amorphous Alloy

Amorphous ribbons of Fe74 Al4Sn2 (PSiB)20 alloy have been synthesized by melt spinning and axial design method. The thermal properties of the amorphous ribbons have been measured by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The DSC results show that the Fe74 Al4Sn2P12Si4B4 amorphous alloy has relatively wider supercooled liquid region with a temperature interval of 40.38 K (△TX=TX-TR). The alloys with a higher phosphorous content in the metalloid element composition triangle of Fe74Al4Sn2(PSiB)20 have high glass forming ability. The amorphous alloys also show good magnetic properties in which Fe74Al4Sn2P6.67Si6.67B6.67 alloy has a large maximum permeability (μm), Fe78AlSn2P3Si3B10 alloy exhibits a high squareratio (Br/Blo) and FeT~A14Sn2P, Sil2B4 shows a low core loss (P0.5 1.3T). High glass forming ability and good magnetic properties make Fe74Al4Sn2(PSiB)20 amorphous alloys valuable in future research.     

Effects of magnetic annealing on crystallization and magnetic properties of Nd2Fe14B/α-Fe nanocomposite magnets

Crystallization and magnetic properties of Nd2Fe14B/α-Fe nanocomposite magnets have been investigated by annealing the as-spun ribbons with magnetic field.The crystallization process was accelerated by field annealing.The hysteresis loop became to be fat by magnetic annealing at 645 oC for 4 min,which was 690 oC for ribbons annealing without magnetic field.The relative content of α-Fe phase was increased from the results of XRD.The strength of the magnetic field had no obvious influence on the remanence and coercivity,but modified the squareness of hysteresis loop.
