Optimized by Fe content and process, Sm(Co0.72Fe0.15Cu0.1Zr0.03)7.5 magnet with B1〉0.75 T and Hci〉1300 kA/m at 300 ℃ can be obtained. According to the performance data of Sm(Co0.72Fe0.15Cu0.1Zr0.03)7.5, the magnetic field along central axis Bz in periodic permanent magnet (PPM) focusing system was simulated using electromagnetic field analysis software Maxwell 2D/3D. The Bz exhibited typical cosine curve along central axis, and the peak value of Bz was high enough to meet the demand of PPM focusing system at room temperature even at 200±20 ℃. Additionally, a kind of simple cooling structure for PPM focusing system was designed by setting cooling pipe between polepieces. Simulated results showed that smooth cosine curve of Bz was successfully achieved with good control of the thickness of cooling pipe.展开更多

Microstructure of Sm(Co, Cu, Fe, Zr)z-sintered magnets was analyzed through SEM and EDS. The results indicate that the antioxidation effect of the alloy powder treated in silane solution is better than that of the other methods. The alloy powders treated in stearic acid (SA) solution and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) solution can prevent powders from oxidation for a short period of time. Silane solution is not suitable for metal injection molding (MIM) because it severely damages the magnetic properties and microstructure of Sm(Co, Cu, Fe, Zr)z-sintered magnets. SA solution can not only prevent powders from oxidizing in MIM, but also does not damage magnetic properties and microstructure of Sm(Co, Cu, Fe, Zr)z magnets. The oxygen content of Sm(Co, Cu, Fe, Zr)z-sintered magnets by MIM is 3300μg·g^-1.展开更多

The status of the near room temperature magnetic cooling was reviewed.展开更多

During the thermodynamic modeling, the solution phases including liquid, bcc, fcc and dhcp, were treated as the substitutional solution model. Thermodynamic parameters of the stable phases in the Cee La, Cee Pr, Cee Nd and Lae Nd binary systems are obtained finally and would be used directly to develop the thermodynamic database of the multi-component Nde Fee B-based alloys, which is indispensable for designing alloy compositions and processes of Nde Fee B permanent magnets with highly abundant rare earth metals.展开更多

With increasing reaction temperature, it is found that the reaction rate of R-D and the amount of Sm in the Sm2Fe17 alloy increase, and the increased amount at lower temperature is higher than that at higher temperature. Moreover, results from contracting core modal show that the peritectic reaction between Sm and Fe is a ratedetermined step in the whole R-D process. The apparent activation energy and the pre-exponential factor for this reaction are 73.74 kJ· mol^ -1 and 7.79 × 10^- 3 respectively.展开更多
