Abstract

The exchange coupled Nd2Fe14B/α-Fe nanocomposite magnets have been synthesized by melt-spinning. The effect of wheel speed on the microstructure and exchange coupling interaction has been studied. The results show that a uniform Nd2Fe14B/α-Fe nanocomposite structure with fine α-Fe grains can be developed at an optimum wheel speed of about 12 m s-1. After a low temperature annealing, the ribbons show a stronger exchange coupling interaction and the magnetic properties reach a maximum value: jHc = 432.2 kA m-1, Jr = 1.08 T, (BH)max = 115 kJ m-3. With further increase in wheel speed, the microstructure of the ribbons becomes non-uniform after a subsequent high temperature crystallization, and several α-Fe grains abnormally grow to about 100 nm, deteriorating the magnetic properties of the ribbons.
