Magnetic properties and texture of NdFeB magnets fabricated by current-applied-pressure-assisted process
Abstract
The current-applied-pressure-assisted (CAPA) process has been applied to obtain full dense isotropic and anisotropic NdFeB magnets from melt spun NdFeB alloy (MQP-A). The energy product of isotropic magnets obtained by this process was 120-135 kJ/m 3(15-17 MGOe) and the remanence was 0.8-0.9 T(8-9 kG). These isotropic magnets were deformed with different thickness reduction ratio by CAPA process. The energy product obtained by this procedure was in excess of 320 kJ/m 3(40 MGOe), and the best magnetic properties obtained were B r=1.36 T(13.6 kG) , iH c=868 kA/m(10.9 kOe) and (BH) max=352 kJ/m 3(44.2 MGOe) . The effect of deformation by CAPA process on texture was examined using pole figures. The (1 0 5) texture was dominant up to the thickness reduction ratio of 74%, whereas the (0 0 6) texture was dominant at the thickness reduction ratio of 81%.
