正Pyrometallurgy Laboratory of Baotou Research Institute of Rare Earths had independently developed a new preparation technology of rare earth alloy for NdFeB.The alloy can remarkably enhance the coercivity of NdFeB magnet but also evidently reduce the production cost of the magnet.The new master alloy was prepared in the kA pilot-scale electrolytic cell by the independent technology.The rare earth master alloy can be used as the raw material for NdFeB.Compared     

细晶工艺制备高性能烧结钕铁硼的研究

烧结钕铁硼稀土永磁具有超高的磁性能,但是居里温度较低,使其在高温领域的应用受到一定的限制.新能源汽车、风力发电等新兴产业的快速发展,大幅拉升了对耐高温烧结钕铁硼的市场需求.因此,为了提高钕铁硼材料的使用温度,通过开发新技术来提高烧结钕铁硼矫顽力;同时,为了降低产品成本和对重稀土金属的消耗,开发低Dy或无Dy的高矫顽力烧结钕铁硼磁体成为目前的研究热点.研究发现,采用细化晶粒技术、晶界扩散技术以及晶界掺杂技术均能不同程度地提高钕铁硼磁体的矫顽力.综述了这3种新技术的最新研究进展.

(Nd_(0.7)Pr_(0.3))_(60-x)Fe_(30)Al_(10)Cu_x(x=0,1,2,4)大块非晶合金磁性及矫顽力机理

采用铜模吸铸法制备了(Nd0.7Pr0.3)60-x Fe30Al10Cux(x=0,1,2,4)大块非晶合金,利用振动样品磁强计(VSM)研究了该合金的磁性能和磁粘滞行为。结果表明,这几种合金都呈现出较好的硬磁性。随着Cu元素的添加,矫顽力略有增加,但是合金的剩磁却没有变化。利用扫描速率法研究了(Nd0.7Pr0.3)60-x Fe30Al10Cux(x=0,1,2,4)大块非晶合金的磁粘滞行为,得到了这几种合金的相关磁性参数:热扰动场Hf为12.1~15.2 m T,热激活体积va为1.5×10-18~1.9×10-18 cm3。在所研究的合金中都存在明显的铁磁交换耦合作用,同时矫顽力与温度之间的关系符合Gaunt提出的畴壁钉扎模型,合金的硬磁性可能是这两方面共同作用的结果。     

Grain size measurement methods and models for nanograined WC–Co

Development of nanograined WC–Co presents challenges for grain size measurement. In this study, standard and nanocrystalline WC–Co powders are processed by conventional and spark sintering. The resulting microstructures are characterized by image analysis of scanning electron microscopy micrographs, X-ray line broadening, and magnetic coercivity. The results are analyzed and a property map relating coercivity to WC grain size is developed. Equations for interface-controlled grain growth are transformed into the master sintering curve form and are used to analyze the grain size data from the three measurement techniques.     

Effects of Ag layers on the SiO2/FePt thin films deposited by magnetron sputtering

The effects of Ag layers with different locations and thicknesses on the structural and magnetic property of SiO2/FePt multilayer films were investigated.The non-magnetic Ag layer plays an important role in inducing（001） orientation and ordering of FePt grains,as well as the SiO2-doping reducing the grain size and the magnetic exchange coupling between grains.When the 10 nm Ag layer is moved from the bottom to the top of the SiO2/FePt multilayer film,the coercivity gradually decreases;the largest difference between the out-of-plane coercivity and the in-plane one is obtained in the sample of [SiO2（2 nm）/FePt（3 nm）]3/Ag（10 nm）/[SiO2（2 nm）/FePt（3 nm）]2.Furthermore,the location of Ag layers was fixed and the thickness was changed.The XRD curves suggest that the intensity of the（001） peak becomes the strongest with the addition of 10 nm Ag layers.

采用透射电子显微镜（TEM）、扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、磁力显微镜（MFM）和原位X射线衍射（XRD）等探讨Sm2Co17型稀土永磁材料的胞状结构、畴结构和相结构及其对磁性能的影响,制备使用温度为500℃的高温稀土永磁材料。结果表明,Sm（CoFe0.11Cu0.10Zr0.03）7.5具有很好的高温稳定性,500℃时的磁性能为：Br=0.708 T,Hci=646.7 kA/m,BHmax=85.4 kJ/m^3;其磁畴宽度远小于晶粒尺寸,但大于胞状结构的尺寸,使用温度较高的磁体具有较小的磁畴和胞状结构;当使用温度小于300℃时,Sm2Co17型磁体内存在的相结构为2：17R、2：17H和1：5相,矫顽力主要受1：5相的钉扎而产生;当300℃〈t〈tc^1：5时,部分1：5相转变成中间相并最终转变成2：7相,磁体的矫顽力将由1：5相钉扎和2：7相形核所控制;当t≥tc^1：5时,磁体的矫顽力将全部由非磁性1：5相和2：7相形核所控制。
