Microstructural investigation of Nd-rich phase in sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets through electron microscopy

The distribution, morphologies and structures of intergranular Nd-rich phase in sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets were studied through electron microscopy. Backscattered electron (BSE) imaging revealed that Nd-rich particles with various morphologies and sizes were randomly distributed at the grain boundaries and the triple junctions of the tetragonal Nd2Fe14B matrix. Through selected area electron diffraction (SAED) analysis under a systematic tilting condition, most intergranular Nd-rich phase particles, with sizes ranging from hundreds of nanometres to several micrometres, were identified as face-centred cubic (FCC) structure. Such particles possessed several approximate orientation relationships with their adjacent Nd2Fe14B matrix grains, such as (002) Nd2Fe14B//(200) FCC_Nd-rich [120] Nd2Fe14B//[001] FCC_Nd-rich , (002) Nd2Fe14B//( 220 ) FCC_Nd-rich [110] Nd2Fe14B//[112] FCC_Nd-rich , as well as (011) Nd2Fe14B//(131) FCC_Nd-rich [111] Nd2Fe14B//[114] FCC_Nd-rich , which could be attributed to minimising interfacial energy. The combination of highresolution electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy revealed the internal inhomogeneous nature of Nd-rich phases. The large lattice distortion and nanoscale-ordered structures within a single Nd-rich grain were observed.

Effect of annealing process on magnetic properties of Sm（Co0.6Fe0.27Cu0.1Zr0.03）7.5 ribbons

Sm(Co0.6Fe0.27Cu0.1Zr0.03)7.5 ribbons were prepared by melt-spun method. The results showed that the remnant magnetization Mr and intrinsic coercivity Hci had a rapid increase when the heating rate increased from 5 to 10℃/min. But the increase of Mr and Hci were observed to be very little when the heating rate was further increased to 20℃/min. 10℃/min was the critical heating rate for obtaining high magnetic properties. The maximum values of Mr and Hci reached 0.70 T and 780.1 kA/m when the annealing temperature and annealing time were optimized to be 800℃ and 1 h, respectively. Proper second-step heat treatment could suppress the decrease of Hci when the cooling rate increased from 0.7 to 5 ℃/min, which could reduce the cooling time effectively.     

Crystalline Behavior and Magnetic Properties of Nd60Fe30-x Al10Cox（x = 0,5,10） Bulk Amorphous Alloys

Crystalline behavior and magnetic properties of Nd60Fe30-xAl10Cox( x = 0, 5, 10) bulk amorphous alloys were investigated by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Neither glass transition nor supercooled liquid region before crystallization was observed for the as-cast Nd60Fe30-xAl10Cox ( x = 0,5,10) bulk amorphous alloys. The glass forming ability can be improved significantly by the addition of Co. The as-cast Nd60Fe30-xAl10Cox (x = 0,5,10) alloys show hard magnetic behavior. With the addition of Co content, intrinsic coercivity (iHc) increases while the saturation magnetization(σs) and remanence (σr) decrease. The Curie temperature for the as-cast Nd60Fe30-xAl10Cox alloys increases from 451 K for x =0 to 468 K for x = 10. Some pre-cipitation of crystalline phases does not affect the hard magnetic properties of Nd60Fe30-xAl10Cox(x = 0,5,10) alloys, while the hard magnetic behavior disappears quickly after the alloys being completely crystallized.     

Rare earth permanent magnets Sm2(Co,Fe,Cu,Zr)17 for high temperature applications

Sintered Sm(CobalFexCu0.1Zr0.03)7.5 (x=0.09-0.21) permanent magnets with higher Fe content were found to have higher remanence Br and maximum energy product (BH)max at room temperature. Br and (BH)max reached maximum of 0.96 T and 176.7 kJ/m3, respectively at room temperature when the Fe content x reached 0.21. However, the intrinsic coercivity Hci at room temperature increased gradually when the Fe content x increased from 0.09 to 0.15, but when x further increased to 0.21, Hci decreased. Hci attained its peak value of 2276.6 kA/m with Fe content x=0.15 at room temperature. For magnets with x=0.15, Br, (BH)max and Hci reached 0.67 T, 81.2 kJ/m3 and 509.4 kA/m at 500℃, respectively, showing good high temperature stability, which could be used in high temperature applications.     

Influence of Zr Additions on Microstructure and Magnetic Properties of Nanocomposite Nd10.5Fe78-xCo5ZrxB6.5 (x=0～5) Alloys

The influence of Zr addition on the microstructure and magnetic properties of nanocomposite Nd10.5Fe78-xCo5ZrxB6.5 (x=0～5) alloys was investigated. It was found that the intrinsic coercivity could be significantly improved by the addition of 2% (atom fraction) Zr. The presence of small amount of amorphous phase is responsible for the low intrinsic coercivity for Zr-free alloy. The small amount addition of Zr may suppress the growth of grains of α-Fe and Nd2Fe14B phases. The more homogeneous microstructure with an average grain size of 20 nm can be obtained for Nd10.5Fe76Co5Zr2B6.5 alloy.     

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.

Development of rapidly solidified 6.5 wt% silicon steel for magnetic applications

The 6.5wt% Silicon steel has always a technological importance owing to its soft magnetic properties and low core losses. In this research, this steel is prepared in the form of continuous ribbons of 25 mm width and 35 mm thickness by rapid solidification technique using melt spinner. The as-cast ribbons show single phase of α-FeSi as observed from x-ray diffraction. By transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the alloy shows disordered A2 structure in as-cast ribbon while B2 ordered phase forms from the A2 matrix at annealed condition. Two magnetization temperatures are observed at 670 and 760°C due to the phase transformation of B2 and A2 structures, respectively. The alloy showed enhancement in the soft magnetic properties with reduction in coercivity from 1.90Oe in the as-cast state to 0.58Oe when annealed at 850°C. The lowering of coercivity is due to the formation of ordered B2 phase during annealing.     

Investigation of Coercivity Mechanism for Nd-Fe-B Magnets Prepared by Combination of Strip-Casting with Hydrogen Decrepitation Techniques

The coercivity mechanism of Nd-Fe-B magnets prepared by combination of strip-casting with hydrogen decrepi-tation techniques was investigated. The microstructure of (Nd0.935Dy0.065)14.5Fe79.4B6.1 magnet was observed. The average grain size is about 6 ～ 12 μm. The magnetizing field dependence of the hardmagnetic properties for the (Nd0.935Dy0.065)14.5 Fe79.4B6.1 and the temperature dependence of the coercivity for the Nd14.5Fe79.4B6.1 were investigated. Results show that the coereivity for magnets prepared by the combination of strip-casting with hydrogen decrepitation techniques is controlled by the nucleation mechanism.
