A drastic in- crease of the remanence Mr from 0.67 up to 0.87 T and remanence ratio Mr/Ms from 0.66 up to 0.76, respectively, was observed in the α-Fe/NdEFel413 alloys annealed at 610 ℃ as compared with the as-quenched sample. Whereas the further annealing at 680 ℃ resulted in a strong increase of the corecivity Hc as high as 491 kA/m but a slight decrease in Mr. The analysis result of the magnetization re- versal behavior showed that the maximum value of the integrated recoil loop area about 1.58 kJ/m3 was obtained in the α-Fe/Nd2Fe14B alloys at the annealing temperature of 610℃, significantly lower than other annealed samples. This indicated a sig- nificant advantage for the application of this material as permanent magnets in electrical machines and generators due to a low energy loss.展开更多
