Abstract
To understand the influence mechanism of B and Ga content on magnetic properties of NdFeB ribbons, Nd29.89FebalGayCo5.93Bx (wt%, x = 0.80–0.98, y = 0.24–1.04) alloys were prepared and magnetic properties, phase composition, coercivity mechanism, and microstructure of these alloys were investigated systematically. The melt-spun ribbons exhibited 2:14:1 phase grains with varying grain sizes and amorphous grain boundary phases at a wheel speed of 25 m/s. By reducing the B content within a specific range, grain refinement was achieved, resulting in narrower triangular grain boundaries, more uniform and continuous thin grain boundaries. Meanwhile, further increasing the Ga content, the grain shape changes from elongated to equiaxed, and the grain size is greatly refined. However, for x = 0.89, y = 0.84 strip, the coercivity is still reduced due to the large number of directly contacted grains. Consequently, an alloy composition of Nd29.89FebalGa0.64Co5.93B0.89 yielded excellent comprehensive magnetic properties, including a remanence of 8.5 kGs and a coercivity of 18.01 kOe. The corresponding magnetic properties enhancement mechanism is further discussed.
