Magnetic Properties of Nd-Fe-B-M (M=Si, C) Bulk Nanocomposite Magnets Prepared by the Spark Plasma Sintering Method
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
We have prepared Nd2Fe14B/Fe3B bulk nanocomposite magnets at the compositions of Nd4Fe77.5B18.5-xMx (M=Si, C) by substitution of other elements M for B. For the sample substituted with 1 at.%Si and sintered at 600 oC, the coercivity exhibits the highest value of 227 kA/m. It has also been found that the grain sizes of the Nd2Fe14B and the Fe3B phases depend on the ramp-up time and the reduction of the grain size leads to an increase of the coercivity. On the other hand, the samples substituted with C exhibit soft magnetic behaviors, which is attributed to the suppression of the precipitation of the Nd2Fe14B hard magnetic phase.
