The Influence of Powder Particle Size on Behavior of Hot Plastic Deformation, Structure and Magnetic Properties of Nd-Fe-B Die-Upset Magnets

Abstract:

The influence of powder particle size on behaviour of hot plastic deformation, structure and magnetic properties of Nd–Fe–B die-upset magnets have been examined. It was found, that powder particle size strongly affected plastic properties of material during hot deformation process. Precursors made of powder with the smallest particles (d < 32 μm) shown bigger plastic resistance than those made of powder with the larger ones (32 – 88 or 88 – 350 μm). For the same pressing force and temperature, applied within hot plastic deformation process, precursors made of the smallest particle powder allowed to obtain only 56 % deformation, while the another, made of larger particle powder: 65% deformation.
