Furthermore, the influences of the tightness of compacted reactants, the compensation amount of SmO,and the particle size of Fe on the formation of SmFewere discussed from the aspects of the three raw materials.The results show that Sm reduced from SmOreacts with Fe particles to form intermetallic compound SmFedirectly in the R-D reaction process of preparing SmFe;the generation of Sm and its migration to the surface of Fe particles control the reaction rate; a proper tightness of compacted reactants is necessary for ensuring the purity of SmFeproduct; pure SmFecan be obtained when the compensation of SmOis 33 % of the stoichiometry; and the sufficiency of the reaction improves with the decrease in the size of Fe powders under the same reaction condition.展开更多
