Abstract

The coercive field, He, in rapidly quenched Nd-Fe-B was found to increase for samples with excess of Nd. In addition, Hc, strongly depends on the Fe/B ratio, increasing from 1.67 T for Fe/B = 1.07 to 2.05 T for Fe/B = 14.6 in Nd30(Fe,B)70. The increase in Hc seems to correlate with an increase of the γ-Nd phase in the sample. The initial magnetization curves of Nd30(Fe,B)70 show that the domain wall pinning plays a more important role as the Fe/B ratio increases. Thus, γ-Nd may play an important role in promoting a pinning mechanism. The excess of Nd in rapidly quenched Nd-Fe-B samples was also found to promote growth of Nd2Fe14B grains elongated in shape.
