Preparation of rare earth-cobalt magnet alloy by reduction-diffusion process

Preparation of rare earth metals

The production of over 400 grams of pure gadolinium metal by reduction of the anhydrous chloride by calcium in tantalum vessels is described; yields were over 97%. The use of the same techniques in an attempt to prepare yttrium metal were partially successful.

- Based Rare - Earth - Free Permanent - Magnet Alloys

This study presents the structural and magnetic properties of melt-spun , , and alloys. Appreciable permanent-magnet properties with a magnetocrystalline anisotropy of about 9.6–16.5 , a magnetic polarization –10.6 kG, and coercivities –3.0 kOe were obtained by varying the composition of these alloys. Structural analysis reveals that the positions of x-ray diffraction peaks of show good agreeme...

Artificially produced rare-earth free cosmic magnet

Chemically ordered hard magnetic L10-FeNi phase of higher grade than cosmic meteorites is produced artificially. Present alloy design shortens the formation time from hundreds of millions of years for natural meteorites to less than 300 hours. Electron diffraction detects four-fold 110 superlattice reflections and a high chemical order parameter (S  0.8) for the developed L10-FeNi phase. The ma...

Origin of Cobalt Anisotropy in Rare Earth-cobalt Intermetallics

The strong cobalt anisotropies in rare earth-cobalt intermetallics are shown to arise from orbitally selective 3d band energy dispersion due to either chain like or layered like cobalt staking rather than from usual crystal field effect. The magnetic anisotropies of itinerant electron systems are difficult to study in a complete theoretical model due to the great complexity of the collective ch...
