Abstract: The work is primarily concerned with the development of nanocrystalline Nd-Fe-B, based permanent magnet with high Curie temperature. An alloy of composition Fe81Nd7Al2B10 has been prepared using vacuum arc furnace and subjected to using Melt-Spinning process for preparation of amorphous flakes. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has been performed to determine the crystallization temperature and activation energy of the melt spun amorphous ribbons. Subsequently the melt spun ribbon was subjected to annealing at below and above the crystallization temperatures to identify effect of Al on the Curie temperature. It was noteworthy for the effect of alloying Al above crystallization temperature. The Curie temperature increases to by almost 1.3 times with increase in annealing temperature.

Abstract: Sm2Fe17Nx compound is a prospective candidate as a material for high performance permanent magnets because of its good intrinsic magnetic properties with a Curie temperature of 747K, a room-temperature anisotropy field of 14T and a room-temperature saturation magnetization of 1.5T. However, Sm2Fe17Nx compound decomposes to
-Fe and Sm nitride above 873K and conventional powder metallurgy processing techniques fail to meet the processing requirements. Shock consolidation is a viable alternative to process this compound. Fully dense Sm2Fe17Nx bulk materials were fabricated by cylindrical explosive consolidation technique using water as a pressure transmitting medium. Explosive consolidation is performed under cold state and fully dense materials can be obtained without any degradation of the characteristics of the powder states. Sound compacts were obtained without any cracks or teas, and the value of (BH)max of Sm2Fe17Nx compact is 23.8 MGOe.
