Microstructure Analysis of Sintered Nd-Fe-B Magnets Improved by Tb-Vapor Sorption
نویسندگان
چکیده
The surface treatment with Tb-vapor sorption improves the magnetic properties of small-sized magnets. Microstructure of the Tb-treated magnets was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). By applying the Tb-treatment, the diffusion of Tb through grain boundaries occurred even inside the magnets, and then a thin and continuous wetting-layer phase was formed at the boundaries between the Nd2Fe14B grains. The results suggest that the formation of the thin and continuous wetting-layer phase leads to the improvement in magnetic properties. [doi:10.2320/matertrans.48.915]

Effect of Post-Sintering Annealing Treatment on Magnetic Properties of Some Nd Fe b Based Magnets
Effects of post-sintering annealing treatment between 300 and 1000ºC for up to 8 hrs time periods followed by either furnace cooling (FC) or air-cooling (AC) on the hard magnetic properties of some Nd-Fe-B based sintered magnets was investigated. It was shown that the intrinsic coercivity (Hci), second quadrant demagnetization loop shape and thus the energy density (BH)max varied considerably a...

متن کاملImpulse Magnetization of Nd-Fe-B Sintered Magnets for Sensors
Magnetization of large Nd-Fe-B sintered permanent magnets is still challenging. This type of permanent magnet is electrically conductive, so impulse magnetization causes a flow of eddy currents which prevent magnetization of the whole volume of the magnet. The paper deals with the impulse magnetization of sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets and shows a method for the determination of suitable pa...

High-coercive (Nd,Dy)-Fe-B magnets were fabricated via dysprosium coating on Nd-Fe-B powder. The sputtering coating process of Nd–Fe–B powder yielded samples with densities greater than 98%. (Nd,Dy)2Fe14B phases may have effectively penetrated into the boundaries between neighboring Nd2Fe14B grains during the sputtering coating process, thereby forming a (Nd,Dy)2Fe14B phase at the grain boundar...
