摘要: To investigate the coercivity, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability of Nd-Fe-B magnets, their properties were investigated at room and high temperature before and after doping with Dy80Ga20 (at.%) powder. The coercivity of the magnets increased from the undoped value of 12.72 kOe to a doped value of 21.44 kOe. A micro-structural analysis indicates that a well-developed core-shell structure forms in the magnets doped with Dy80Ga20 powder. The improvement in magnetic properties is believed to be related to the refined and uniform matrix grains, continuous grain boundaries, and a hardened (Nd, Dy)2Fe14B shell surrounding the matrix grains. Additionally, the doped magnets exhibit an obvious improvement in thermal stability. For the magnets with added Dy80Ga20 powder, the temperature coefficients of remanence (α) and coercivity (β) increased to -0.106%℃-1 and -0.60%℃-1 over the range 20-100℃, compared to temperature coefficients of -0.117%℃-1 (α) and -0.74%℃-1 (β) in the regular magnets without Dy80Ga20 powder. The irreversible loss of magnetic flux (Hirr) was investigated at different temperatures. After being exposed to 150℃ for 2 h, the Hirr of magnets with 4 wt.% Dy80Ga20 decreased by ~95% compared to that of the undoped magnets. The enhanced temperature coefficients and Hirr indicate improved thermal stability in the doped Nd-Fe-B magnets. The intergranular addition of Dy80Ga20 also improved the corrosion resistance of the magnets because of the enhanced intergranular phase. In a corrosive atmosphere for 96 h, the mass loss of the sintered magnets with 4 wt.% Dy80Ga20 was 2.68 mg/cm2, less than 10% of that suffered by the undoped magnets (28.1 mg/cm2).
