Nd_(15)Fe_(77)B_8合金塊經過2.5小時的振動研磨,垂直磁場(12KOe)下壓型,在1090°C燒結一小時後水中淬火至室溫而得異方性磁石。磁石再經過400°至700℃,一小時的退火後,Br隨退火溫度上升而一直減少,iHc則隨退火溫度由400°升至550℃而增加,但自550℃起開始下降。由金相及X光繞射觀察判斷,上述結果與退火期間中,Nd_2Fe_(14)B共晶相異方性及形態之變化有關。
A sintered Nd_(15)Fe_(77)B_8 magnet was prepared by the following powder metallurgy techniques. The alloy powders were vibration-milled for 2.5 hours, compressed in a vertical magnetic field (12 kOe), sintered at 1090°C for one hour and finally quenched in water to room temperature. The sintered magnets were then subjcted to annealing in the range of 400° to 700°C for one hour and quenched in water to room temperature. As a result, remanence decreased monotonously with increasing annealing temperature, while intrinsic coercivity increased with increasing annealing temperature from 400° to 550°C and fell off at 550°C. From the metallographic and X-ray diffraction observations, it is deduced that the variation in the anisotropy and morphology of the eutectic Nd_2F_(14)B phase during annealing is liable for the above-mentioned results.
