Effect of B addition on the microstructure and magnetic properties of melt-spun Sm12Co60−xFe19Cu6Zr3Bx (0 ≤ x ≤ 3) ribbons
2010
Abstract The melt-spun Sm 12 Co 60− x Fe 19 Cu 6 Zr 3 B x (0 ≤ x ≤ 3) ribbons were prepared using arc-melting method at a wheel speed of 20 m/s followed by annealing at different temperatures. The structural characterization showed that Sm 12 Co 60− x Fe 19 Cu 6 Zr 3 B x (0 ≤ x ≤ 3) ribbons were mainly composed of TbCu 7 -type phase and α-Fe phase. The α-Fe phase in melt-spun ribbons was increased and the glass-forming ability (GFA) of Sm–Co matrix alloys was improved with the addition of B. The TbCu 7 -type phase in the ribbons annealed over 700 °C for 10 min was observed to decompose into Th 2 Zn 17 , CaCu 5 and α-Fe type phases. The addition of higher B content resulted in decomposition of TbCu 7 -type phase more easily. Both coercivity and remanence were significantly affected by the B addition and annealing temperature. The Curie temperatures of amorphous Sm–Co phase, Sm(Co,M) 5 and Sm 2 (Co,M) 17 were found between 445 °C and 484 °C, 684 °C and 714 °C and 840 °C and 854 °C, respectively.
