Demagnetization Process and Coercivity for Anisotropic HDDR NdFeB Bonded Magnets

The demagnetization process and the coercivity mechanism for amsotropic HDDR Nd(Fe,Co)B bonded magnets were studied by comparing the dependence of coercivity on the alignment field applied while the powders were pressed. The results showed that both the remanence and the coercivity of magnet increased with increasing alignment field. The demagnetization process of the magnet can be classified as the nucleation process inside the grains and the domain-wall motion between the grains. The combined effect of two processes determines the coercivity of HDDR NdFeB bonded magnets.

Regeneration of waste sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets to fabricate anisotropic bonded magnets

The waste sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets were regenerated as magnetic powders via manually crushing （MC） or hydrogen decrepitation （HD） to fabricate anisotropic bonded magnets. Effect of size distribution on the magnetic properties of the regenerated magnetic MC and HD powders was investigated. For the MC powders, as the particle size decreased, the remanence （Br） increased first, and then decreased again, while the coercivity （Hci） dropped monotonically. The powders with particle size in the range of 200-450μm possessed the best magnetic properties ofBr of 1.22 T and Hci of 875.6 kAJm. The corresponding bonded magnet exhibited magnetic properties ofBr of 0.838 T, Hci of 940.9 kA/m, and （BH）max of 91.4 kJ/m^3, respectively. On the other hand, the liD powders with particle size range of 200-450 μm bore the best magnetic properties Of Br of 1.24 T and Hci of 860.4 kA/m. Compared with magnetic properties of the waste magnet, the powders retained 93.9% of Br and 70.0% of Hci, respectively. The bonded magnet produced from HD powders possessed Br of 0.9 T, Hci of 841.4 kA/m, and （BH）max of 111.6 kJ/m^3, indicating its good potential in practical applications.

Magnetic properties and magnetization mechanism of anisotropic NdFeB/SmFeN hybrid bonded magnets prepared with different coercivity NdFeB powders

Anisotropic NdFeB/SmFeN hybrid bonded magnets were prepared by warm compaction process under an orientation magnetic field of 22 kOe,mixing with anisotropic SmFeN powders in different addition and HDDR-NdFeB powders in different coercivity.With the addition of 20 wt% SmFeN,the density and remanence of hybrid magnets increase from 5.58 g/cm~3,8.4 kGs to 6.02 g/cm~3,9.0 kGs,respectively.And as the addition amount of SmFeN powders varies from 20 wt% to 40 wt%,the maximum energy product changes less than 0.5 MGOe.In addition,the magnetization process and the interactions between two powders were studied.It is found that the magnetization process of anisotropic NdFeB powders shows distinction in different initial states.The addition of SmFeN powders promotes the rotation of NdFeB powders together with applied field,which is beneficial to the degree of alignment of NdFeB powders.Because of the micron-sized long range coupling effect,the coercivity of hybrid magnets decreases slowly with the increase of low coercivity SmFeN.Meanwhile,the magnetization process of hybrid magnets is different from pure magnets,it increases rapidly at low field and then slowly,next leads to rapidity again and achieves the saturation magnetization finally.

Anisotropic NdFeB/SmCoCuFeZr composite bonded magnet prepared by warm compaction process

Anisotropic NdFeB/SmCoCuFeZr composite bonded magnets were prepared by warm compaction process. The effects of adding SmCoCuFeZr magnetic powder on the properties of anisotropic bonded NdFeB magnet were investigated in this work. The results show that, both magnetic properties and temperature stability of the bonded magnet can be improved by adding fine SmCoCuFeZr magnetic powder. In the present study, the optimal content of SmCoCuFeZr magnetic powder was about 20 wt.%, in this case, the Br, Hcj, and（BH）maxof the NdFeB/SmCoCuFeZr composite magnet achieved 0.943 T, 1250 kA/m, and168 kJ/m^3, respectively.
