Properties of sintered Al substituted NdFeB magnets
The effect of partial substitution of Fe by Al (Al, Al 2 O 3) on the magnetic properties and the corrosion resistance of the sintered NdFeB magnet has been investigated. With the increasing amount of Al, the anisotropy field and the saturation magnetization decrease, but the coercivity increases up to 4 at.% Al and further alloying of Al leads to a decrease of the coercivity. Different substances like Al (metallic Al or Al 2 O 3) modify the microstructure to different increase in the coercivity and especially to changes in the remanence. Alloying Al via metallic Al decreases the remanence, whereas via Al 2 O 3) up to 4 at.%0 Al increases it. The Al additions inhibit atmospheric corrosion o…
Corrosion protection of Nd–Fe–B type permanent magnets by zinc phosphate surface conversion coatings
Abstract The use of protective zinc phosphate top coatings to protect Nd–Fe–B type permanent magnets against corrosion is discussed. The progress of the phosphatisation process has been tested by simultaneous measurement of pH near surface, corrosion potential, substrate mass loss and phosphate coating mass gain. The corrosion behaviour of the magnet in phosphate solution was analyzed by the anodic polarization technique and the general resistance of the magnet to corrosion was evaluated by the Akimov drop test. It is shown that immersion of the magnet in the acidified (pH=2) phosphating solution containing Zn(II), nitrate and fluoride ions resulted in the formation of well adhered, thin an…
Post-sintering heat treatment effect on the coercivity of sintered (Nd,Dy)15(Fe,Co,Mo,Al)77B8 permanent magnets
Abstract The effect of heat treatment on the intrinsic coercivity, iHc and microstructure were investigated for sintered (Nd,Dy)15(Fe,Co,Mo,Al)77 B8 permanent magnet. The microstructure has been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray spectroscopy and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The observed behaviour of iHc may be caused by a superposition of the following effects: (i) the distribution of the nonmagnetic phases and the ratio of the amount of hard magnetic Nd2Fe14B-phase to the amount of the residual phases; (ii) homogeneous distribution of elements in the main phases; (iii) removing the stresses in the phases; and (iv) diffusion of Al, …
Magnetic Domain Structure and Intrinsic Magnetic Material Parameters of Ternary Intermetallic RMn2Ge2 Compounds (R ? La, Ce, Pr and Nd)
Applying a powder pattern method the magnetic domain structures of polycrystalline intermetallic RMn2Ge2 (where R ≡ La, Ce, Pr, Nd) compounds were studied. The domain structures observed are typical for uniaxial materials. The domain wall energy density γ was determined from analysis of domain structure patterns, using different models of the domain structure. The obtained values are used to determine the intrinsic magnetic material parameters: domain wall width δB, critical diameters of single domain particles Dc and exchange constants A.
ANNEALING EFFECT ON COERCIVITY AND MICROHARDNESS IN SINTERED (Nd, Tb)15(Fe, Co, Al)78B7 MAGNETS
The variation of the coercivity and microhardness with annealing (475–1150°C/3.6 ks) of sintered (Nd, Tb) 15 (Fe, Co, Al) 78 B 7 permanent magnet have been investigated. The data indicate that the coercivity reaches the mininum and the maximum at 600°C and 775°C, respectively. Optical and scanning electron microscopy and magnetic domain structure observations give no hints to any change in microstructure. Fitting of the Mössbauer spectra of permanent magnets for different coercivity ( i H c ) values revealed that magnetic hyperfine fields (B Hf ) on all Fe sites are reduced with the increase in i H c value and the higher value of the i H c corresponds to the higher value of the Mössbauer l…
The effect of less additives on magnetic properties and microstructure of sintered Nd–(Fe,Ti,Al)–B magnets
Abstract The effect of the addition of 0.5 at.% Cu, Ga, Hf, V, Mo, Nb, Co, Ni, Cr, Dy or Tb on the magnetic properties and the microstructure of sintered Nd 16 Fe 75.22 Ti 1.26 Al 0.32 B 7.2 magnets has been studied. It is shown that these additives cause a small decrease in remanence and in intrinsic coercivity, with the exception of Cu, Dy and Tb additives, which lead to an increase in the intrinsic coercivity. The correlation between the hyperfine magnetic field and the magnetic properties of the investigated magnets is discussed.
Sintered (Nd, Tb)–(Fe, Ti)–B+C permanent magnets
Abstract This paper undertakes a study of the effect of carbon addition on the magnetic properties, the microstructure and corrosion resistance of Nd14.60Tb0.20Fe77.56Ti1.24B6.40+C sintered permanent magnets. It is shown that a 0.12 wt.% C addition increase the remanence and the maximum energy product and reduces (slightly) the intrinsic coercivity. The corrosion resistance in atmospheric environment is also significantly improved by this element.
Corrosion behaviour of sintered Nd(Fe,Al)B magnets
Abstract The effect of 1–6 at% Al additions to a sintered NdFeB magnet on its corrosion behaviour was tested. The additions do not influence the magnet's corrosion behaviour in the active state and cause beneficial effects in the passive state. The Al additions inhibit atmospheric corrosion of the magnets.
Peculiarities of Forming of Magnetic Hardening in Sintered Nd15Fe76.2Ti1.0Al0.8B7 Permanent Magnet by Ageing
Variations of the intrinsic coercivity ( i H c ) with ageing (at 293 to 1173 K for 0.45 to 57.6 ks) of sintered Nd 15 Fe 76.2 Ti 1.0 Al 0.8 B 7 have been investigated. The tests indicated minimum and maximum of intrinsic coercivity ( i H min c and i H max c ) at temperatures 725 K and 1025 K, respectively. The observed behaviour of i H c has been compared with microhardness measurements and microstructure observations (SEM, EDAX, domain structure (DS) and room temperature Mossbauer spectroscopy). SEM and DS investigations gave hints to a change in microstructure. Fitting of the Mossbauer spectra of permanent magnets for different i H c has shown that the magnetic hyperfine field Bhf of 8j2 …
Corrosion resistance of the FeAlC permanent magnet alloy
Abstract The correlation between corrosion behaviour rate of hard magnetic FeAlC alloys and their microstructure and phase composition is presented. Potentiokinetic polarization curves of the tested material in acid (pH = 1 and 2) and neutral (pH = 7) sulphate solutions have been measured. For open-circuit condition, kinetic curves of etching of the samples in 0.5 M H2SO4 have been determined. The resistance of the tested magnets against atmospheric corrosion has been evaluated using a salt-spray test. The atmospheric corrosion rate is 1.5–2 times slower than that found for Nd-Fe-B type magnets. The FeAlC alloys show good corrosion resistance in neutral environments and corrode at rates…
SURFACE AND VOLUME CRYSTALLIZATION OF METALLIC GLASS (Ni50Zr50)99.9P0.1 AS INVESTIGATED BY EXOELECTRON EMISSION (EEE) AND DIFFERENTIAL THERMAL ANALYSIS (DTA)
Surface and volume crystallization of amorphous, melt-quenched (Ni50Zr50)99.9P0.1 alloy has been investigated by measurements of the temperature dependencies of the intensity of photostimulated exoelectron emission (EEE) and by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A comparison of these dependencies enables one to assess the tendency of the investigated materials to premature surface crystallization. For the (Ni50Zr50)99.9P0.1 alloy the surface crystallization occurs at temperatures distinctly lower than that for the crystallization in bulk. The activation energy for the surface crystallization, determined by the Ozawa method, i.e. from the shift of EEE peak corresponding to the surface…
