Abstrct

Change of the magnetic property of Fe-B-Nd-Nb alloys was investigated with replacing Nb by a glass forming element Zr under constant quenching rate as well as heat treatment conditions. As a result, the coercivity significantly increases up to 1207 kA/m when the half of Nd is replaced by Zr, which is presumably due to grain refinement of the Nd2Fe14B phase. The self-organized nanograin magnets are attractive for future applications since their coercivity can be further improved by reducing the grain size via optimizing the Zr concentration, the quenching rate and the subsequent heat treatment condition.
