Abstract

Brief reviews on corrosion and coercivity mechanisms of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets are given. Results of recently undertaken transmission electron microscopic study of Nd15 - Fe78-xCoxB7 sintered magnets (x = 3, 6 and 10) are presented. Micro-beam electron diffraction patterns obtained from Nd-Co phases in these magnets could be indexed according only to an orthorhombic cell of Nd3 Co among the binary Nd-Co compounds for x = 3 to 10. Relations of coercivity and magnetizability of this type of magnets to their microstructure are discussed in connection to the effects of V or Mo addition which are to enhance coercivity and to improve magnetizability. It is suggested that a decrease in the local demagnetization effects resulting from a decrease in the width of the grain size distribution due to these-additives is the origin of the enhancement of coercivity and the improvement of magnetizability.
