Nd-Fe-B type powder was sintered using spark plasma sintering method. Fabricated compact sintered at the temperature of 700 °C, is found to be a composite magnet with Nd-Fe-Co-B and α-Fe. The compact sintered at 700 °C shows slightly low coercivity and large remanent magnetization comparing to the compact sintered at 600 °C due to the formation of α-Fe phase, resulting in the large maximum energy product. Maximum energy product tends to decrease with decreasing thickness of sintered compacts below 0.5 mm in thickness.

In this work, we present a newly developed, economically efficient method for processing rare-earth Nd-Fe-B magnets based on spark plasma sintering. It makes us possible to retain the technologically essential properties of the produced magnet by consuming about 30% of the energy as compared to the conventional SPS process. A magnet with anisotropic microstructure was fabricated from MQU F commercial ribbons by low energy consumption (0.37 MJ) during the deformation process and compared to the conventionally prepared hot-deformed magnet, which consumed 3-times more energy (1.2 MJ). Both magnets were post-annealed at 650 °C for 120 min in a vacuum. After the postannealing process, the low-energy processing (LEP) hot-deformed magnet showed a coercivity of 1327 kAm-1, and remanent magnetization of 1.27 T. In comparison, the highenergy processing (HEP) hot-deformed magnet had a coercivity of 1337 kAm-1 and a remanent magnetization of 1.31 T. Complete microstructural characterization and detailed statistical analyses revealed a better texture orientation for the HEP hot-deformed magnet processed by high energy consumption, which is the main reason for the difference in remanent magnetization between the two hot-deformed magnets. The results show that, although the LEP hot-deformed magnet was processed by three times lower energy consumption than in a typical hot-deformation process, the maximum energy product is only 8 % lower than the maximum energy product of a HEP hot-deformed magnet.

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.

Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) was studied as a means to consolidate Nd-Fe-B powders, previously subjected to grain refinement by HDDR (Hidrogenation–Disproportionation–Dessorption–Recombination). The sintering process was carried out under 60 MPa constant pressure, varying the maximum processing temperature from 500 °C to 900 °C with a holding time of 5 min. Densification was observed above 600 °C related to the melting of Nd-rich phase. The magnetic properties are clearly related to microstructure coarsening associated with the SPS temperature regime. A monotonic decrease for coercivity (Hcj) was observed as a function of maximum SPS operating temperature with values varying from maximum of 750 kA/m at 500 °C to less than 200 kA/m for SPS at 900 °C. Remanence (Br) and maximum energy product (BH)max showed optimum values for intermediate temperatures, since these properties benefit from the densification developed by SPS.

The Nd2Fe14B/α-Fe bulk exchange-spring magnets have been prepared by spark plasma sintering melt spun Nd9.8Dy0. 4Fe78.4Co5.6B5.8 flakes under different temperatures and pressures. It was found that higher sintering temperature improved the densification of the magnets, while deteriorated their magnetic properties simultaneously. An increased compressive pressure can restrain the grain growth remarkably and then leads to better magnetic properties and higher density for the magnet at same sintering temperature. XRD analysis showed that with the increase of sintering pressure, some peaks indicating c-axis texture such as (006) and (105) became dominant. As a result, the bulk magnet exhibited higher remanence and maximum energy product than starting powders.

Bulk isotropic and anisotropic Nd13.5Fe80.4Ga0.5B5.6 and Nd13.5Fe80.4Ga0.5B5.6/Fe magnets were synthesized by applying spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. The effect of hot-pressing temperature on the magnetic properties of hot-pressed (HP) and hot-deformed (HD) magnets without additive and with 5% Fe addition was investigated. With increasing sintering temperature for HP magnets, the grain grew gradually. For HD magnets, the optimal magnetic properties could be obtained at hot-pressing temperature 680°C due to the development of desired c-axis texture and uniform microstructure, which resulted from the appropriate and uniform grain size in HP magnets. Fe addition could enhance remanence (Br) and magnetic energy products ((BH)m) of HP and HD magnets. However, the maximum magnetic energy product of HD magnets decreased when hot-pressing temperature was higher than 650°C.
