Studying the Effect of Praseodymium Pr Substituted Nd₂Fe₁₄B Alloys on its Magnetic Anisotropic Properties Prepared by Arc Melting

Abstract:

Nd₂Fe₁₄B permanent magnet manufacturing technology in some developing countries is still relatively difficult because it is constrained by limited equipment facilities and dependence on imports of raw materials. In the context of efforts to build national independence, the concrete step is to try to study the process of making permanent Nd₂Fe₁₄B magnets with conventional facilities and technology. In this research an attempt was made to make and characterize Nd₂Fe₁₄B permanent magnets substituted with praseodymium Pr metal using conventional technology through the arc melting method. The success parameter of the results of this sample making is the formation of the Nd₂Fe₁₄B phase in the sample. The formation of this phase can be fundamentally studied the number of mass fractions of formed phases and structure crystallography using X-ray diffraction facilities and is supported by spectroscopy facilities and their magnetic properties. So the purpose of this research in general is to study the manufacturing process and the fundamental formation of the phases of the NdPrFe₁₄B sample making through the arc melting method, while specifically wanting to know the relationship between phase analysis and the magnetic anisotropic properties of NdPrFe₁₄B. The coercivity field appears to increase significantly after the sample is substituted with Pr and has a fairly small crystallite size distribution. So it was concluded that the presence of Pr was able to withstand the growth of grain, causing the anisotropic magnetocrystalline field to increase.
