Samples were arc melted then melt spun at 37 m/s up to 55 m/s to obtain ribbon for powdering. Annealing was performed in argon atmosphere for 30- 75 min at 600-870 oC. In as-spun ribbons the hexagonal SmCo7 （TbCu7-type of structure） of crystal structure was determined from x-ray diffraction patterns, while fcc-Co has been identified as a secondary phase. After annealing, the 1：7 phase of the as-spun ribbons transformed into 2：17 and 1：5 phases. X-ray patterns for as-milled powders exhibited very broad peaks making it difficult to identify a precise structure but repre-sented the 1：7 structure after annealing at low temperature （650 oC）. TEM analysis showed a homogeneous nanocrystalline microstructure with average grain size of 30-80 nm. Coercivity values of 15-27 kOe were obtained from hysteresis loops traced up to a field of 5 T. The co-ercivity decreased as temperature increases, but it maintained values higher than 5 kOe at 380 oC. The maximum energy product at room temperature increased, as high as 7.2 MGOe, for melt-spun isotropic ribbons produced at higher wheel speeds. Anisotropic ribbons had a maximum energy product close to 12 MGOe.展开更多
