Abstract

Sintered [Nd0.45 (Y3 Dy1) 0.25 0.55] 2.8 Fe14 B magnets were prepared for the first time. Magnetic properties and microstructures of the magnets were investigated by magnetic measurements and electron microprobe analysis. The microstructure consists of a MRE2 Fe14 B (2-14-1) phase matrix having a grain size of ∼10μm and a RE-rich grain boundary phase. However, sintering resulted in segregation of Y to the inner and Nd to the outside of the 2-14-1 grains. The magnet has a room temperature (BH) max of 25.4 MGOe, which is two times higher than that of the isotropic melt spun ribbons with similar compositions. The temperature coefficients of Br (α) and Hcj (Β) for the magnet are -0.150 and -0.632%/°C from 27 to 127 °C, respectively. These temperature coefficients, especially for Β, are also much higher than those of melt spun ribbons. The composition segregation in the 2-14-1 grains is believed to be responsible for the higher temperature coefficients.
