Abstract

Permanent magnetic materials capable of operating at high temperature up to 500 °C have wide potential applications in fields such as aeronautics, space, and electronic cars. SmCo alloys are candidates for high temperature applications, since they have large magnetocrystalline anisotropy field (6–30 T), high Curie temperature (720–920 °C), and large energy product (>200 kJ·m−3) at room temperature. However, the highest service temperature of commercial 2:17 type SmCo magnets is only 300 °C, and many efforts have been devoted to develop novel high temperature permanent magnets. This review focuses on the development of three kinds of SmCo based magnets: 2:17 type SmCo magnets, nanocrystalline SmCo magnets, and nanocomposite SmCo magnets. The oxidation protection, including alloying and surface modification, of high temperature permanent magnets is discussed as well.
