Abstract
High coercivity, high remanence, and high energy product (NdDy)2(FeNb)14B/α-Fe nanocrystalline alloys are prepared by melt spining and subsequent annealing. The best properties of remanence (Br), coercivity (Hci) and maximum energy product ((BH)max) are 1.02 T, 702 kA/m and 134 kJ/m3, respectively. The microstructure of the two phase nanocomposite consists of hard magnetic (NdDy)2(FeNb)14B and soft magnetic α-Fe with an average size of 30 nm. These small dimensions allow effective exchange coupling between hard and soft magnetic grains and result in the simultaneous enhancement of Br,Hci and (BH)max.
