Abstract
In response to the progressively demanding operational conditions imposed on permanent magnet materials, the advancement of sintered Nd-Fe-Co-B permanent magnets exhibiting high temperature stability holds great importance. The magnetic properties and temperature stability of sintered Nd-Fe-Co-B magnets have been widely recognized. However, their internal structure is complex and has phases that reduce coercivity. There is still little research on their phase composition and microstructure. This study involved the fabrication of magnet powder with Co contents of 0.5 wt% and 16 wt%, which were subsequently employed in the production of magnets through the application of powder metallurgy techniques. Both the magnet powder and the magnets were characterized, and it was found that the RE(Fe,Co)2 phase and RE2(Fe,Co)17 phase already existed in the magnet powder. The phenomenon of Co element migrating from grain boundaries to the 2–14-1 phase was discovered. In addition, crystalline Co-rich thin-layer grain boundary phases were also discovered in the magnets. Ultimately, this study provides a reference for understanding the phase transition and properties in sintered Nd-Fe-Co-B magnets.
期刊介绍:
