Abstract
The magnetic and mechanical properties of sintered Nd–Fe–B magnets prepared by different sintering processes were investigated. The results showed that the intrinsic coercivity and fracture toughness of sintered Nd–Fe–B magnets first increased, and then declined with increasing annealing temperature. The optimum magnetic properties and fracture toughness of sintered Nd–Fe–B magnets were obtained at the annealing temperature of 540 °C. Sintering temperature increasing from 1047 °C to 1071 °C had hardly effect on the magnetic properties of sintered Nd–Fe–B magnets. The variation of Vickers hardness and fracture toughness was not the same with increasing sintering temperature, and the effect of sintering temperature on the mechanical properties was complex and irregular. The reasons for the variation on magnetic and mechanical properties were analyzed, and we presumed that the effect of microstructure on the mechanical properties was more sensitive than the magnetic properties through analyzing the microstructure of sintered Nd–Fe–B magnets.
