Abstract
The proposed project will attempt to develop rare earth-transition metal magnets, based on Nd2Fe14B and Sm2Fe17N3 with enhanced properties by means of novel processing routes. It is planned to look at a new HDDR process where the desorbtion recombination stages are effectively separated by causing the recombination to take place in a hydrogen atmosphere. This will enable greater microstructural control and should lead to better material properties.
In addition, a completely new process whereby hydrogen is replaced by nitrogen will be studied. Replacement of the hydrogen by nitrogen will lead to a safer, potentially more controllable process with the prospect of excellent magnetic properties.
Mechanical alloying/milling will be used in combination with various gaseous atmospheres to look into the possibility of developing intermediate phases leading to Nd2Fe14B and Sm2Fe17N3–d based materials with high coercivities.
