Hot deformation in nanocrystalline Ndben Feben B backward extruded rings

Radially oriented Nd-Fe-B rings are prepared by backward extrusion of fine grained melt-spun powder. Melt-spun powder with the nominal composition of Nd_30.5Fe_bal.Co_6.0Ga_0.6Al_0.2B_0.9 (wt%) is used as starting material. The effects of process variables, such as deformation temperature (T_d), strain rate (ε) and height reduction (Δh%), on the magnetic properties of the rings are investigated. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an energy spectrum device is used to study the metallograph and microfracture of the extruded rings. The B_r and (BH)_max reach the optimum values at T_d=800℃, ε =0.01 mm/s, and Δh% =70%. It is found by SEM observations that the particle boundaries, which seemingly correspond to the interfaces of the starting melt-spun powders, emerge after the corrosion of metallography specimens. This is helpful for studying the effects of powder-powder interface on the local deformation and deformation homogeneity in the rings. For different spatial positions of the extruded rings, there are characteristic metallographies and microfractures. The upper end of the rings has the least deformation and worst texture, and therefore the worst magnetic properties. The magnetic properties in the radial direction increase slightly along the axis from the bottom to the middle, then steeply decrease at the upper end of the ring. The deformation and the formation-of-texturing processes are discussed. The deformation and the texturing formation of melt-spun Nd-Fe-B alloys probably involve grain boundary sliding and grain rotation, the solution-precipitation process and preferential growth of Nd₂Fe₁₄B nanograins along the easy growth a-axis.     

Pr2Fe14(C,B)/α-(Fe,Co)型纳米晶复合磁体的结构与磁性

研究了Pr_xFe_82-x-yTi_yCo₁₀B₄C₄ (x=9—10.5;y=0, 2)纳米晶薄带的结构与磁性. 结果表明,所有薄带皆主要由2∶14∶1, 2∶17和α-(Fe, Co)三相组成. 对于y=0的合金,其内禀矫顽力随Pr含量x的增加而增加,剩磁随Pr含量x的增加而减小. 以Ti置换部分Fe (y=2),合金的磁性能得到显著提高,表现为:添加Ti后,合金的剩磁B_r基本不降低,x=10.5时合金的B_r值甚至有较明显的提高;同时添加Ti后,合金的内禀矫顽力及退磁曲线的方形度都明显改善. 当x=10.5,y=2时,合金薄带的磁性能达到最佳值为: B_r=9.6 kGs(1 Gs=10^-4 T),_iH_c =10.2 kOe(1 Oe=79.5775 A/m)和(BH)_max＝17.4 MGOe. 随着Pr含量的提高,合金中的硬磁相2 ∶14 ∶1的含量相对增加,内禀矫顽力提高;而Ti置换Fe抑制了软磁相α-(Fe, Co)在快淬和热处理过程中的优先长大,使合金中软磁相和硬磁相的晶粒尺寸及比例趋向最佳组合,交换耦合作用明显增强. 关键词： 纳米晶永磁材料 2Fe₁₄(C')" href="#">Pr₂Fe₁₄(C B) Ti添加 交换耦合
