In this study, leveraging crystallization annealing to regulate the SmCo<sub>5</sub> amorphous alloy microstructure, a systematic temperature-time-controlled strategy was proposed to optimize its nanocrystalline microstructure. The effects of the annealing time and temperature on the crystallization, phase evolution, and magnetic properties of this alloy were systematically studied. Sm(Co<sub>0.9</sub>Cu<sub>0.1</sub>)<sub>5</sub> nanocrystalline alloys were obtained via high-energy ball milling (HEBM) and then annealed at 550–700°C. The amorphous phase initially transformed into metastable Sm(Co,Cu)<sub>7</sub> phase, followed by the gradual transition to the Sm(Co,Cu)<sub>5</sub> main phase and Sm<sub>2</sub>(Co,Cu)<sub>17</sub>-R trace phase. Upon annealing at 550°C for 30 min, ~ 15-nm nanocrystals were formed in the alloy, with coercivity (H<sub>c</sub>) = 5.4 kOe and remanence (M<sub>r</sub>) = 28.5 emu/g. H<sub>c</sub> gradually increased with increasing annealing temperature, while M<sub>r</sub> increased slightly at 600°C and then gradually decreased. After annealing at 650°C for 4 h, the alloy exhibited uniform grains with moderate sizes and clear grain boundaries. Furthermore, H<sub>c</sub> substantially increased to 31.1 kOe and M<sub>r</sub> rose to 35.2 emu/g. These results contribute to elucidate the role of the amorphous-to-crystallization mechanism in improving the magnetic properties of SmCo<sub>5</sub>-based or similar alloys.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":605,"journal":{"name":"JOM","volume":"77 11","pages":"8211 - 8218"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145327606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The microstructure and phase composition of these alloys were investigated, and the compression property tested. The results show that white dendrite segregation can be observed in the as-cast AlNb<sub>2</sub>TiVW<sub>0.1</sub> and AlNb<sub>2</sub>TiVW<sub>0.3</sub> alloys, and is caused by W enrichment. W addition does not change the BCC phase composition of as-cast alloys, but the 0.3-W and 0.5-W addition can reduce the lattice constant. The AlNb<sub>2</sub>TiVW<sub>0.3</sub> alloy yields the best compression property with compression strengths of 1482 MPa, 1575 MPa, and 1375 MPa at 600°C, 700°C, and 800°C, respectively. Furthermore, at 200–600°C, under an initial compression stress of 500 MPa, the stress–time curve of the AlNb<sub>2</sub>TiVW<sub>0.3</sub> alloy is more stable compared with the AlNb<sub>2</sub>TiV alloy.
