Abstract
The inhomogeneity in microstructure and magnetic properties of a ring magnet prepared by backward extrusion with a current-applied pressure-assisted process has been investigated. The initial part (top part) of a ring magnet prepared by back extrusion shows a high coercivity which is comparable to the raw powder. It exhibits isotropic characteristics along the three orthogonal directions probably due to small deformation. The last part (bottom part) of the ring magnet has a a low coercivity with large grains because high current flows through the pressurized punches during the whole deformation process as to increase the temperature and grain growth. The middle part is under an appropriate deformation with short time exposure at high temperature, therefore it maintains a relatively high remanent polarization with high coercivity.
