Abstract
Magnetic properties, phase evolution, and microstructure of melt spun SmCo7−xHfxCy (x=0–0.5; y=0–0.14) ribbons via direct quenching have been investigated. For SmCo7−xHfx series ribbons, proper volume fraction of Hf is effective to stabilize and increase the magnetocrystalline anisotropy field of the TbCu7-type structure. Accordingly, the optimal magnetic properties of Br=6.4kG, Hci=7.3kOe, and (BH)max=8.7MGOe could be obtained for x=0.1. Furthermore, a slight C addition to above alloys is helpful in refining the grain size of the ribbons from 100–400nm for C-free to 10–80nm for C-containing samples. As a result, the magnetic properties are further improved to Br=6.9kG, Hci=11.8kOe, and (BH)max=10.6MGOe for SmCo6.8Hf0.2C0.12 nanocomposite ribbons.
