Description

In this study, microstructure and magnetic properties of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets with addition of Dy82.3Co17.7 (wt. %) were investigated. By adding a small amount of Dy82.3Co17.7, the coercivity is improved greatly, and the irreversible loss is decreased sharply. The increase of Curie temperature suggests that Co atoms have entered into the 2:14:1 main phase. Microstructural analysis indicates that a well-developed core-shell structure was formed in the magnets with the addition of Dy82.3Co17.7. The improvement of magnetic properties can be attributed to the microstructural modification and the intrinsic properties' improvement
