- Abstract
Magnets with nominal compositions of (Nd1−xCex)30FebalCu0.1B1(x= 0, 0. 15, 0.3 and 0.4, mass%) have been fabricated by blending powder method. The remanence (Br), intrinsic coercivity (Hc) and maximum energy product (BH)maxof the RE2F14B type magnets deteriorated when Nd was replaced by Ce. The chemical composition and crystal structure of magnet were investigated systemically. Backscattered electron (BSE) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) results revealed that Ce-rich and Ce-lcan matrix grains coexisted in the magnets. The magnetic coupling mechanism among the double hard magnetic phases was discussed. Low melting point RE-Cu phase was in favor of the formation of uniform continuous grain boundary. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigation showed the presence of fcc (Nd,Ce)Oxphase in the grain boundary. When the Ce content was 15% of the total amounts of all the rare earth, the maximum energy product of the sintered magnet was 359. 8 kJ/m3.
