Abstract  

A well known feature of ferromagnetic materials is the time dependent behavior of the magnetic polarization, i.e. magnetic viscosity, which arises from thermal activation over energy barriers. It is found that magnetic parameters, such as the fluctuation field (Hf) and the exchange interaction length (lex), have a close relationship with the microstructure of the materials. Therefore, investigation on magnetic viscosity is helpful to understand the coercivity mechanism of ferromagnetic materials. In this work, ingots with nominal composition Nd8.5Fe76Co5Zr3B6.5Dy1, Nd9.5Fe75Co5Zr3B6.5Nb1 and Nd9.5Fe75.4Co5Zr3B6.5Ga0.6 were prepared by arc-melting pure metals Nd, Fe, Co, Zr, Dy, Nb, Ga and Fe-B alloy in an argon atmosphere. A small portion of an ingot weighing about 5 g was re-melted in a quartz nozzle and ejected onto a rotating copper wheel in a range of 10~30 m/s. The annealing treatment was carried out at 690~710 ℃ for 4~5 min. Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), XRD and TEM were used to study magnetic viscosity behavior and exchange interaction for Nd2Fe14B/α-Fe nanocomposite permanent alloys. Furthermore, the relationship among exchange interaction, microstructure and magnetic property was discussed. For the nanocomposite Nd8.5Fe76Co5Zr3B6.5Dy1, Nd9.5Fe75Co5Zr3B6.5Nb1 and Nd9.5Fe75.4Co5Zr3B6.5Ga0.6 alloys, Hf and lex were obtaind by sweep rate measurement. The Hf were 4.80, 4.87 and 5.09 kA/m, and lex were 4.53, 4.41 and 4.20 nm for permanent Nd8.5Fe76Co5Zr3B6.5Dy1, Nd9.5Fe75Co5Zr3B6.5Nb1 and Nd9.5Fe75.4Co5Zr3B6.5Ga0.6 alloys, respectively. It suggested that the lex had a minor change. The Nd9.5Fe75Co5Zr3B6.5Nb1 alloy had the strongest exchange interaction among three alloys in this work. It is due to a refined microstructure and uniform distribution of grains. Furthermore, the behavior of the irreversible susceptibility (χirr) as a function of applied magnetic field (H) was investigated. A single sharp peak could be seen near coercive field in the χirr-H curve in three alloys, suggesting that the magnetization reversal was a uniform reversal process. The Nd9.5Fe75.4Co5Zr3B6.5Ga0.6 alloy exhibited a sharper and narrower peak, indicating a more rapid change in magnetization and a strong interaction between adjacent magnetic phases. Since exchange interaction of neighboring grains favors the nucleation of reversed domains, remanence enhancement is generally achieved at the expense of coercivity. Among three alloys, Nd9.5Fe75.4Co5Zr3B6.5Ga0.6 alloy showed the optimum magnetic properties, that is, the coercivity Hc=687.56 kA/m, the remanence Br=0.92 T, the maximum magnetic energy product (BH)max=120.88 kJ/m3. It was mainly due to consisting of well-coupled grains with near perfect alignment of the easy magnetization direction, which improved the remanence and maximum energy product.
