Ce substitution level in Nd-Fe-B magnets

Ce substitution level in Nd-Fe-B magnets has been significantly increased via the binary main phase (BMP) approach, i.e. sintering the mixture of Ce-free and Ce-containing RE 2 Fe 14 B (RE, rare earth) powders. REFe 2 phase that forms in the high Ce-containing Nd-Ce-Fe-B magnets has been considered to be harmful to magnetic performance due to its soft magnetism. In this work, we found that REFe 2 phase with lower melting point than the 2:14:1 phase plays positive role on optimizing the microstructure and retaining magnetic performance of the Nd-Ce-Fe-B BMP magnets. The wettability of 2:14:1 phase can be improved by sintering above the melting point of REFe 2 phase, which promotes densification of the magnet and the formation of continuous and smooth grain boundary (GB) phases. This contributes to the weakened short-range exchange coupling between adjacent grains, hence ensures superior magnetic performance of BMP magnets to the single main phase (SMP) ones with the same average composition.
