The sintering of Sm2Fe17 compound prior to the nitrogenation process is studied as an alternative process to produce dense Sm2Fe17N3 hard magnets with higher maximum energy products (BH)max than conventional polymer bonded magnets. In order to optimize sintering and nitrogenation processes, powders made from alloys, with different compositions, in the as-cast as well in the as-homogenized state were used. It could be shown that the amount of α-Fe, formed in the casting process, was reduced during sintering and that Sm selective loss is restricted to the surface up to a depth of 100 +m. Moreover the density of the sintered samples was not much affected by the initial composition or by the prior homogenization of the alloys. Although the nitrogenation process was successful in producing the Sm2Fe17N3 as proved by the mass gain, magnetic properties measurements and X-Ray diffraction, the hard magnetic properties were much lower than expected, indicating that other variables, which are discussed in the text, must be considered.

AbstractRapid solidification onto a copper quench surface (melt-spinning) has been used to fabricate a high-performance permanent magnet alloy (Ovonic Hi-Rem™) based on the Nd-Fe-B class of materials. Crucial idditions of alloying elements are combined with careful control over quench parameters to yield a random assembly of microcrystallites, with macrosconically isotropic magnetic properties including values of remanent induction that can exceed 10 kG and maximum energy products greater than 20 MGOe. These values exceed those expected from conventional randomly oriented magnets. The enhanced magnetic performance is related to results of x-ray diffraction and electron microscopy.

Hexagonal ferrite Sr 0.70-x Ba x La 0.30 Fe 11.78 Cu 0.22 O 19 (0 ≤ x ≤0.7) magnetic powders and magnets were synthesized by the ceramic process. The phase compositions of the magnetic powders were investigated by X-ray diffraction. There is a single magnetoplumbite phase in the magnetic powders with barium content (x) from 0 to 0.70. The micrographs of the magnets were observed by a field emission scanning electron microscopy. All magnets have formed hexagonal structures and the particles are distributed evenly. Magnetic properties of the magnets were measured by a magnetic properties test instrument. The remanence, intrinsic coercivity, magnetic induction coercivity and maximum energy product of the magnets continuously decrease with the increase of barium content (x).

Precipitation hardened Sm2(Co,Fe,Cu,Zr)17 permanent magnets are of great technological importance because of their large coercive fields (Hc∽ 6-15 kOe) and energy products ((BH)m ∽ 25-30 MGOe). The hard magnetic properties of these magnets are usually achieved after a complex heat treatment. The samples are first sintered at 1200 C and then quenched to room temperature. The sintered magnets are aged at around 830 C, slowly cooled to 400 C and then quenched again to room temperature. Microstructure studies have been reported on several 2:17 magnets at their optimum state. The purpose of this study is to examine the changes in the microstructure that are produced by the described heat treatment and determine how they affect the hard magnetic properties of the magnets. Samples of a commercial TDK REC-26 magnet (Sm(Co,Fe,Cu,Zr)7.5) were prepared at different stages of the heat treatment. Electropolishing together with ion thinning were used to prepare the specimens for transmission electron microscopy. The microstructure observations were made with a Philips 400 TEM equipped with an energy dispersive x-ray analysis unit.

In this work, the cladless hot isostatic pressing (HIP) is performed on sintered NdFeB magnets. After the processings, the density of the magnets is slightly increased. The statistics of microstructure shows the growth of grains. The evaluation by X-ray diffraction shows that the alignment degree of grains decreases. These effects slightly improve the magnetic energy products, meanwhile bring about the deterioration of coercivity. Corresponding to the increase of density, the corrosion resistance checked by electrochemistry method becomes better after HIP processings.

AbstractThis study presents a preparation of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite synthesis via the green auto-combustion method. At first, SrFe12O19 nanoparticles were synthesized as a core and then, SrTiO3 nanoparticles were prepared as a shell for it to manufacture SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposite. A novel sol-gel auto-combustion green synthesis method has been used with lemon juice as a capping agent. The prepared SrFe12O19–SrTiO3 nanocomposites were characterized by using several techniques to characterize their structural, morphological and magnetic properties. The crystal structures of the nanocomposite were investigated via X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology of SrFe12O19– SrTiO3 nanocomposite was studied by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The elemental composition of the materials was analyzed by an energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). Magnetic properties and hysteresis loop of nanopowder were characterized via vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) in the room temperature. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra of the samples showed the molecular bands of nanoparticles. Also, the photocatalytic behavior of nanocomposites has been checked by the degradation of azo dyes under irradiation of ultraviolet light.

In this research, influence of adding Li2CO3 (at 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%) on electrical and magnetic properties of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]Fe2O4 (with 60% Ni and 40% Mg) ferrite has been studied. The samples are prepared by solid state reaction method and sintered at 1300∘C for 6[Formula: see text]h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show the samples belong to single-phase cubic structure without any impurity phase. The magnetic properties (saturation magnetization and coercivity) of the samples have been investigated by VSM and found that the higher concentration of Li2CO3 reduces the hysteresis loss. DC resistivity increases with Li2CO3 contents whereas it decreases initially and then becomes constant at lower value with temperature which indicates that the studied samples are semiconductor. The dielectric dispersion occurs at a low-frequency regime and the loss peaks are formed in a higher frequency regime, which are due to the presence of resonance between applied frequency and hopping frequency of charge carriers. Notably, the loss peaks are shifted to the lower frequency with Li2CO3 additions.

Nanocrystalline Fe-Co alloy powders, which were prepared by high-energy mechanical milling, were nitrided under the mixing gas of NH3/H2 in the temperature range from 380°C to 510°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to analyze the grain size and reaction during the processing. The magnetic properties of the nitrided powders were measured by Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The results show that with the appearance of Fe4N phase after nitride treatment, and the grain-size of FeCo phase decreases with the increase of nitridation temperature between 380°C to 450°C.The saturation magnetization of nitrided alloy powder treated at 480°C is about 18% higher than that of the initial Fe-Co alloy powder, accompanied by the reduction of the coercivity. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) was used, attempting to further analyze the effect of Fe4N phase on microstructure and magnetic properties of the powder mixtures.

Mn, Fe doped ZnO powders (Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O2, x≤0.05) were synthesized by an ameliorated sol-gel method, using Zn(CH3COO)2, Mn(CH3COO)2and FeCl2as the raw materials, with the addition of vitamin C as a kind of chemical reducer. The resulting powder was subsequently compacted under pressure of 10 MPa at the temperature of 873K in vacuum. The crystal structure and magnetic properties of Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O2powder and bulk samples have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to study chemical valence of manganese, iron and zinc in the samples. The x-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O (x≤0.05) samples were single phase with the ZnO-like wurtzite structure. No secondary phase was found in the XRD spectrum. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that Fe and Mn existed in Zn0.95-xMnxFe0.05O2samples in Fe2+and Mn2+states. The results of VSM experiment proved the room temperature ferromagnetic properties (RTFP) of Mn, Fe co-doped ZnO samples.

Purpose This study aims to apply the pack cementation to develop the Fe-Al layers on the surface of FC 25 cast iron in order to increase the high-temperature corrosion resistance of the alloy. Design/methodology/approach Pack cementation was applied on the surface of FC 25 cast iron at 1,050°C. The bare and aluminised alloys were subjected to the oxidation test in 20 per cent O2-N2 at 850 °C. Scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used for characterisation. Findings The layers of pack cementation consisted of Fe2Al5, FeAl2 and FeAl, and solid solution alloyed with Al. The oxidation kinetics of the bare cast iron was parabolic. Mass gain of the aluminised cast iron was significantly decreased compared with that of the bare cast iron. This was because of the protective alumina formation on the aluminised alloy surface. Al in the Fe–Al layer also tended to be homogenised during oxidation. Originality/value Even though the aluminising of alloys was extensively studied, the application of that process to the FC 25 cast iron grade was originally developed in this work. The significantly reduced mass gain of the aluminised FC 25 cast iron makes the studied alloy be promising for the use as a valve seat insert in an agricultural single-cylinder four-stroke engine, which might be run by using a relatively cheaper fuel, i.e. LPG, but as a consequence requires the higher oxidation resistance of the engine parts.

The crystallization and optimization of magnetic properties effects in FeXSiB (X=Cu, V, Co, Zr, Nb) amorphous alloys were studied by applying X-ray diffraction methods, high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), resistometric and magnetic measurements. The temperatures of the first and the second stage of crystallization, the 1h optimization annealing temperature and the Curie temperature were determined for different amorphous alloys. Activation energies of crystallization process were obtained by applying the Kissinger method. The influence of alloy additions on optimization effect and crystallization processes was carefully examined.
