Abstract
The electrical resistivities of anisotropic Nd-Fe-B-based magnets were successfully increased in both parallel and perpendicular directions to the c-axis by hot-deforming Nd-Fe-B melt-spun flakes that were coated with DyF3 using electrophoretic deposition. Consequently, the operating temperature under high-frequency AC magnetic field was reduced by 20 °C because of the reduction of eddy current loss. The resistive layer formed at the interface of original ribbons in the hot-deformed magnet was found to be NdF3 rather than DyF3. Transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography revealed that liquid Nd-rich intergranular phase reduces DyF3 to form NdF3 at the ribbon interfaces during hot-deformation at elevated temperature. Excess Dy diffuses into the original ribbon flakes through grain boundaries to form a Dy-rich shell in Nd2Fe14B grains, giving rise to a high coercivity of 1.8 T. This study demonstrates an alternative way to solve the thermal demagnetization problem of Nd-Fe-B-based permanent magnets during operation in electric motors via the resistivity increase of the magnet.
