Abstract:

The crystal structure, magnetic properties of the Nd9.5Fe76Co5Ti3B6.5  amorphous alloys annealed at different temperatures were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The results indicated that the Nd2Fe14B phase was precipitated prior to that of α-Fe phase from the amorphous matrix. Nd2Fe14B phase and α-Fe phase were precipitated at 600 and 680 ℃, respectively. α-Fe phase grain growed up more obviously than Nd2Fe14B phase with increasing annealing temperature. The grain sizes of α-Fe phase and Nd2Fe14B phase growed from 22.4 and 32.8 nm to 33.3 and 39.8 nm when they annealed at 690 to 700 ℃. When annealing at 690 ℃, there were strong exchange coupling effects between hard magnetic phase Nd2Fe14B with 32.8 nm and soft magnetic phase α-Fe with 22.4 nm. MeanwhileNd9.5Fe76Co5Ti3B6.5 alloy obtained the best magnetic properties with Br =0.88 T, Hci =523.76 kA/m, and (BH)max=100.01 kJ/m3.
