Abstract

AbstractIn this study, lanthanum was applied to strip cast Ce−Fe−B alloy to improve its phase composition and microstructure. The results reveal that lanthanum doping can significantly enhance the proportion of 2 : 14 : 1 phase and improve the microstructure of Ce−Fe−B alloy. Besides, the influence of the starting alloys structure on the microstructure and magnetic properties of final multi‐phases cerium‐containing magnets was also systematically investigated. Compared to the multi‐phases magnet without lanthanum addition, a pronounced coercivity increment could be distinguished in lanthanum‐doping multi‐phases magnet, which could be attributed to the finer grain size together with ideal grain boundary. In this work, the superior performance of Hcj = 701.28 kA/m Br = 1.30 T, and (BH)max = 313.70 kJ/m3 were obtained by blending Nd−Fe−B alloy with (La0.35Ce0.65)‐Fe−B alloy to meet 25.0 wt.% lanthanum‐cerium utilization content, suggesting that the possibility to develop high abundant rare earth permanent magnetic materials.
