Abstract
High-coercivity Nd–Fe–B magnets are required for clean energy applications, particularly for hybrid and electric vehicles. This study was focused on the structural design of a Nd2Fe14B-based magnet by precise engineering of its microstructure, which included grain-boundary diffusion and grain-boundary structuring processes, through the introduction of a hydrogenated Tb3Co0.6Cu0.4Hx composition in the powder mixture. A low-rare-earth-metal strip-cast Nd-24.0, Pr-6.5, Dy-0.5, B-1.0, Al-0.2, Fe-balance (wt.%) alloy was used as the base component of the powder mixture. The distributions of the components of the blended powder mixture in the sintered magnet with the added 2 wt% of Tb3Co0.6Cu0.4Hx and stability of the structure-sensitive magnetic parameter (coercive force) during a low-temperature heat treatment were studied. The sample exhibited a high coercive force up to 1480 kA/m at a heavy rare-earth element content in the 2–14–1 phase of ~1 at.%.
