Two-phase permanent magnets with soft and hard magnetic phases are suitable candidates for high energy product permanent magnets. To obtain enhanced energy product, the microstructure has to be optimum and the magnetization and nucleation field has to be as large as possible. The present studies suggest suitable combinations of soft–hard composites that could result in higher energy product. The role of microstructural parameter on the energy product is also presented.

The magnetic properties of permanent magnets are sensitive to their microstructure. In particular, for the family of Nd(Pr)-Fe-B magnets a very different coercivity and energy products may be obtained by several processing techniques. It was experimentally found that a small excess of Nd over the exact phase composition of Nd2Fe14B plays an important role in obtaining high-energy products during the die-upset processing of the anisotropic hard magnets. However the specific role of the Nd excess on both magnetic structure and microstructure of these die-upset magnets is unclear and controversial. Answers to these questions may help to correctly address some major issues in materials science, e.g. how microstructure is related to magnetic structure of hard magnets, and how to optimize the performance of hard magnets.In-situ TEM magnetizing experiments combined with Lorentz magnetic microscopy in Fresnel-Foucault modes were used to characterize the magnetic structure of die-upset, high energy-product hard magnets Nd13.75Fe80.25B6 and Pr13.75Fe80.25B6.

Roller-ball milling (RBM) or planetary ball milling (PBM) have been used together with the hydrogen decrepitation (HD) process to produce sintered permanent magnets based on a mixture of Pr16Fe76B8 and Pr14.00Fe63.90Co16.00B6.00Nb0.10 magnetic alloys. Five distinct compositions have been studied comparing low- and high-energy milling. Magnets with a particular composition and prepared using these two routes exhibited similar magnetic properties. Modifications have been carried out in the procedure of the HD stage for PBM in order to guarantee a high degree of crystallographic alignment. Pr15.00Fe69.95Co8.00B7.00Nb0.05 magnets showed the best maximum energy product for both processing routes (~ 247 kJm-3). A significant reduction in the milling time (93%) has been achieved with high-energy processing, the greatest advantage over the low-energy route.

Nanocomposite NdFeB/αFe magnets were obtained by spark plasma sintering technique using high energy ball-milled Nd-Fe-B melt-spun ribbons mixed in different weight ratios with Fe commercial powders. The remanence of SPS nanocomposite magnets increases with the Fe powders content from 6.1 for 4 wt.% Fe to 6.4 kG for 5 wt.% Fe, while the estimated maximum energy product is also increased from 9.0 to 10.6 MGOe.

Nd2Fe14B/-Fe nanocomposite permanent magnet contains the hard and soft magnetic phases, Nd2Fe14B and -Fe respectively. An exchange coupling effect exists between the two magnetic phases. The effect of alloying element Nb on its nanostructure and properties have been studied. Adding Nb to the alloy is effective to refine grains, a relatively small grain size causes a high intrinsic coercivity, remanence and therefore a high maximum energy product, (BH)max. MFM (Magnetic Force Microscope) was used to observe the magnetic micro-domain structure in the nanophase alloys. The length of the magnetic contrast shows a significant dependence on the microstructure and phase constitution, and the longer length is correspond with the larger exchange coupling effect between the soft and hard magnetic phases.

ABSTRACTExchange-spring nanocomposite permanent magnets have received a great deal of attention for their potential for improved the energy products. Predicted results, however, has been elusive. Optimal properties rely on a uniformly fine nanostructure. Particularly, the soft magnetic phase must be below approximately 10 nm to ensure complete exchange coupling. Inert gas condensation (IGC) is an ideal processing route to produce sub-10 nm clusters method. Two distinct nanostructures have been produced. In the first, Fe clusters were embedded in an FePt matrix by alternate deposition from two sources. Fe cluster content ranged from 0 to 30 volume percent. Post-deposition multi-step heat treatments converted the FePt from the A1 to L10 structure. An energy product of approximately 21 MGOe was achieved. Properties deteriorated rapidly at cluster concentrations above 14 volume due to uncoupled soft magnetic regions (from cluster-cluster contacts) and cooperative reversal. The second nanostructure, designed to overcome those disadvantages, involved intra-cluster structuring. Here, Fe-rich Fe-Pt clusters separated by C or SiO2 were fabricated. Phase separation into Fe3Pt and FePt and ordering was induced during post-deposition multi-step heat treatments. By confining the soft and hard phases to individual clusters, full exchange coupling was accomplished and cooperative reversal between clusters was effectively eliminated. An energy product of more than 25 MGOe was achieved, and the volume fraction of the soft phase was increased to greater than 0.5 while maintaining a coercivity of 6.5 kOe. The results provide new insight into developing high energy product nanostructured permanent magnets.
