Description

Two-phase sintered magnets composed of the hard magnetic Fe14Nd2B and a Nd-rich nonmagnetic phase are produced doping the master alloy of Fe73.5Nd20B6.5 with 1.48 mass% Al2O3. Measuring the temperature dependence of the coercive field in these sintered magnets the effect of the microstructure on the coercive field can be quantitatively analyzed. In particular it can be shown that with increasing grain size the demagnetization effects originating from local stray fields increase whereas the surface quality of the grains is improved. (author)
