Investigation on Crystallization and Magnetic Properties of (Nd, Pr, Ce)<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>14</sub>B/α-Fe Nanocomposite Magnets by Microwave Annealing Treatment
Abstract
In the present work, the structures and magnetic properties of (Nd, Pr, Ce) 2Fe14B/α-Fe nanocomposite magnets were thoroughly investigated. The microwave annealing was applied to achieve a uniform heating effect and uniform grains. Microwave annealing is more favorable to obtain α-Fe phase than conventional annealing, which leads to the enhanced coercivity of hysteresis loops. The coercivity of nanocomposite magnets was 245 kA/m after annealing at 2000 W for 10 min.
