Abstract
Mechanical milling technique is considered to be a useful way of processing the fine Nd-Fe-B-type powder with high coercivity. In the present study, phase evolution of the Nd15(Fe1-xCox)77B8 (x=0-0.6) alloys during the high energy mechanical milling and annealing was investigated. The effect of Co-substitution on the crystallization of the mechanically milled Nd15(Fe1-xCox)77B8 amorphous material was examined. The Nd-Fe-B-type alloys can be amorphized completely by a high-energy mechanical milling. On annealing of the amorphous material, fine α-Fe crystallites form first from the amorphous. These fine α-Fe crystallites reacts with the remaining amorphous afterwards, leading to crystallization to Nd2Fe14B phase. The Co-substitution for Fe in Nd15(Fe1-xCox)77B8 (µx=0∼0.6) alloys lower significantly the crystallization temperature of the amorphous phase to the Nd2Fe14 B phase. The mechanically milled and annealed Nd15Fe77B8 alloy without Co-substitution exhibits consistently better magnetic properties with respect to the alloys with Co-substitution.
