Abstract

The aim of this study was optimization of the annealing process in melt spun Nd2Fe14B intermetallic magnetic alloy. In this regard, the melt spinning process was done at wheel speed of 40 m.s-1. In order to achieving the desired microstructure, the as-spun ribbons were subsequently annealed at temperature range of 500 to 700 ºC for different periods of time. Structural and magnetic characterization of produced samples were performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results showed that the structure of as-spun ribbons at wheel speed of 40m.s-1 was composed of Fe-α, Nd2Fe14B and amorphous phases with the coercivity and saturation of magnetization in the range of 0.14 kOe and 120 emu/g, respectively. By annealing the produced ribbons and crystallization of the amorphous phase, the percentage of Fe-α and Nd2Fe14B was decreased and increased, respectively. The optimum annealing conditions for achieving the highest value of coercivity (about 9.2 kOe) was 600°C for 6h.
