Abstract:
The changes of composition, microstructure and magnetic properties for the samples with composition of Pr
17Fe
76.5B
5Cu
1.5 cast alloys after hot-pressing with different strains to be 0%, 30%, 50%and 70% have been studied. As increasing of the strains, Pr and Cu contents of the smples decrease and Fe, B content of the samples increase, however the magnetic anisotropy and magnetic parameters such as
μ0Ms,
Br,iHc,bHc and (
BH)
m of the samples enhance. The optimum magnetic properties of
Br=1.2 T,
iHc=1.22 MA/m and (
BH)
m=260 kJ/m
3 for the samples with hot pressing strains to be more than 80% were obtained, which approaches to the magnetic properties of sintered Pr-Fe-B system magnets.
