Abstract
microstructural features of Nd8Fe76.5Co8B6Cu 0.5Nb1 nanocomposite magnet have been studied by a three-dimensional atom probe (3DAP) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The as-meltspun microstructure is composed of ot-Fe, NdjFenB and a large fraction of intergranular amorphous phase. The annealed microstructure with optimum magnetic properties contains the same constituent phases as those in the as-quenched state, but the volume fraction of the Nd2FeHB grains is increased by partial crystallization of the remaing amorphous phase. Nb and B are found to be enriched in the remaining amorphous phase. Unlike FeaB/NdjFeB nanocomposite, Cu additions are not effective in refining the grain size in this system.
