Scanning electron microscopy and magnetic force microscopy were used to conduct the metallographic study of the surface microstructure of KS25 grade Co–25%Sm sintered rare-earth magnets after Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). The chemical composition of the studied samples: Sm – 25 wt.%; Fe – 18 wt.%; Cu – 5 wt.%; Zr – 3 wt.%; Co – the rest. One of the sample surfaces was subjected to EDM in various ways with changes in such EDM parameters as the straight-line processing speed and offset. The microstructure of magnets contains four coexisting phases: SmCo5, Sm2Co17, Zr5Co3FeSm and Sm2O3. The grain size is 10–50 μm. Crystals of the Zr5Co3FeSm intermetallic compound are 1–5 μm in size, and globular inclusions of Sm2O3 samarium oxide are 2–10 μm. EDM affected the thickness and chemical composition of the defective layer. In general, the chemical composition varies slightly in the direction from the defective layer inward the sample: the content of Sm, Cu, O, and Zr decreases; the content of Fe and Co increases. At a distance of 500 μm from the defective layer inwards the sample, the grain size increases by 40–50 %, while the porosity decreases. At the same time, the size of Sm2O3 oxides slightly increases. The study of the magnetic structure on surfaces perpendicular to the axis of magnetization by means of magnetic force microscopy revealed the presence of a complex domain structure of grains in the form of a labyrinth with a domain size of ~3÷5 μm. Separate singledomain grains ~30÷50 μm in size were also found. Due to the material heating and oxidation, EDM promotes the domain structure of grains appearing in the form of a labyrinth instead of single-domain grains, and the SmCo5 → Sm2Co17 phase transition, which causes a decrease in coercive force.

AbstractWe analyzed magnetic force microscopy images of the surface of samples cut parallel and perpendicular to the texture created by applying a field in the process of pressing a magnet. The distribution of the linear size (width) of the domains correlates with the distribution of the projection area of grains onto the shear plane in sintered (PrDy)(FeCo)B magnets with radial magnetization and in prismatic (NdDy)(FeCo)B magnets. The effects of grain size and direction of the axes of easy magnetization of grains on the width of the domains, as the main factors controlling the domain structure, are discussed.

In this work, the correlation between magnetic-domain structure and microstructure in combined reaction-processed equiatomic L10 FePd has been investigated using magnetic force microscopy. The microstructure consisted of approximately equiaxed grains with an average grain size of ∼1 μm and a grain size distribution ranging from below the theoretical critical domain size (Dcrit∼0.2–0.3 μm) up to approximately 5 μm in diameter. The domain structure was characterized as “mixed” in nature, consisting of smaller single-domain grains, larger multidomain grains, and a larger scale interaction domain structure encompassing many grains. The domain boundaries separating interaction domains tended to lie along grain boundaries, and it is proposed that the observed interaction domains should be considered in descriptions of the magnetization and magnetization reversal behavior of this material. In particular, pinning of interaction domain walls by intragranular features of the microstructure such as grain boundaries and single-domain grains could play a role in the measured coercivities.

In work, the change of domain structure of CoNi microparticles caused by mechanical stress was studied. For this purpose, an array of identical square-shaped planar CoNi particles was formed on the surface of a polished glass substrate. Elastic bending of the substrate was used for creating of mechanical stress in the particles. It was shown by magnetic force microscopy, the magnetic structure of particles is possible to change from multidomain to quasi-homogeneous state by mechanical stress.

The Domain Structure of Die-Upset Anisotropic Magnet Based On Nd-(Fe, Co)-B Alloy The measurements of the recoil curves for the die-upset Nd-(Fe, Co)-B based magnets from different points on the magnetization and demagnetization curves have been carried out by means of the LakeShore vibrating sample magnetometer in an applied magnetic fields up to 2 T. From the recoil curves the so-called Wohlfarth's remanence relationship has been derived. From this it was deduced that the magnetic interaction existing between the magnet grains has a dipolar nature. The existence of the magnetic interaction has been confirmed by magnetic domain observations by using the magnetic force microscopy (MFM). In the area of interaction domains there is the fine scale magnetic contrast resulting from the dipolar interaction between neighboring grains.

AbstractThe effect of strain on the surface magnetism of the manganite La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 has been studied as a function of temperature, using magnetic force microscopy. The non- uniform strain distribution in the film leads to a two-phase coexistence between ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic phases. This leads to a reduction of the surface curie temperature and the formation of ferromagnetic islands. Methods of controlling this behavior in order to fabricate arrays of magnetic nanodots are discussed.

The alignment degree of sintered Nd–Fe–B magnets and its dependence on applied field and compacting mode were studied by magnetic force microscopy. By analyzing the magnetic force images to illustrate the magnetic-domain structure, an experimental method for quantitatively evaluating the alignment degree of sintered Nd–Fe–B magnets was given. The results show that if the compacting mode is the same, the alignment of magnets will be better as field increases. Under the same field, the alignment degree for rubber isostatic pressing with vibration is better than that for nonmagnetic metal die pressing. However, if the sample is compacted by rubber isostatic pressing without vibration, the alignment degree decreases significantly.
