Abstract
In the present work, Ce17Fe76.5Co1Zr0.5B6 ribbons were prepared by a direct melt spinning method. The effects of chamber pressure and magnetic field annealing temperature on the magnetic properties and microstructures of the alloys were investigated. The grain size and content of Ce2Fe14B phase can be changed by adjusting the chamber pressure, and the optimal magnetic performance is obtained at 0.04 MPa. The magnetic properties can be influenced under magnetic field heat treatment. When the annealing temperature is lower than the Curie temperature, the refinement and a uniform distribution of the grains is obtained. The irreversible magnetic susceptibility curve reveals that magnetic field heat treatment enhances the exchange coupling interaction between grains of the Ce2Fe14B phase. When the magnetic field annealing temperature is 438 K, the alloy displays the optimal magnetic properties. Compared with the as-spun sample, the values of intrinsic coercivity (Hci), remanence (Br) and maximum energy product ((BH)max) increase by 3.4%, 9.8% and 18.7%, respectively. This work provides an effective approach by which to enhance the magnetic properties of Ce–Fe–B alloys.
