Abstract
Nd2Fe14B/α-Fe-based hard/soft nanocomposite magnets with Co addition have been prepared by ball-milling and warm compaction. It was found that Co addition into the magnetically hard phase improves magnetic properties significantly, especially the remanence ratio and coercivity. The effect on the magnetic properties of the selective Co addition may be attributed to enhanced interdiffusion across the hard/soft interface that improves the interface conditions for effective interphase exchange coupling. By optimizing the Co content in the Nd15Fe79−xCoxB6 hard phase, an energy product value about 21 MG Oe can be obtained in the isotropic Nd2(FeCo)14B/α-(FeCo) nanocomposite magnets compared with 15 MG Oe of Nd2Fe14B/α-Fe nanocomposite magnets prepared under the same conditions with the same grain size and microstructure, owing to the strengthened intergranular exchange interactions.
