Abstract
Research program in the field of modern powder metallurgy and intermetallic magnets is based on the research experience and expertise of the members of the group on the broader area of powder metallurgy, intermetallic magnets, hydrogenation and nitration at elevated temperatures and microstructural characterisation of various materials. Beside research work in the field of permanent metallic magnets, carried out for many years, the group started with investigations of magnetic materials based on the exchange interaction between valence electrons. As a processing method mechanical alloying of intermetallic alloys of rare earth and transition elements are used. Members of the group will continue to contribute to the basic knowledge in the fields of magnetic materials and powder metallurgy. Emphasis is on the study of materials based on intermetallic alloys RE-TM among which RETM5, RE2TM17, RE2TM14B are the most promising materials. Interstitially modified RE2-TM17N3-d has also exceptional magnetic properties. These materials are used in areas with high degree of miniaturisation, such as computers, telecommunications and medicine. New ecologically less problematic methods for the synthesis of nanopowders used for bonded magnets will be studied. Investigations of the influence of chemical composition and process parameters on the sintering, phase composition and the microstructure will be continued with the aim to improve coercitivity and energy product of the magnets. Using analytical electron microscopy microstructural features, such as grain boundaries, precipitates and crystal defects will be investigated. Analytical electron microscopy is practically the only adequate method for the study of nanocrystalline magnet powders. The preparation of TEM samples of magnetic powders consisting of nanometer sized crystals is extremely difficult problem. HDDR process was found to be the most efficient for the preparation of nanocrystalline powders based on RE-TM. The possibility of applying the HDDR method on other materials that have the capability of hydrogen absorption will also be investigated. Experimental results will be compared to the magnetic properties calculated ab initio within the framework of the density functional theory. The use of the modern magnet materials for environmental applications will also be studied.
