摘要: This paper reports that the SmCo6.8Zr0.2 nanocrystalline permanent magnets and SmCo6.8Zr0.2/\al-(Fe,Co) nanocomposite permanent magnets are successfully produced by mechanical alloying and subsequently annealing at 700~{^\circ}C for 10 minutes. The x-ray diffraction results show that the phase structure of SmCo6.8Zr0.2 nanocrystalline permanent magnets is composed of SmCo_{7} phase and SmCo6.8Zr0.2/\al-(Fe,Co) nanocomposite permanent magnets is composed of SmCo_{7} and α -(Fe,Co) phases. The mechanism of magnetization reversal is mainly controlled by inhomogeneous domain wall pinning in SmCo6.8Zr0.2 and SmCo6.8Zr0.2/\al-(Fe,Co) magnets. The inter-grain exchange interaction at low temperature is investigated, which shows that the inter-grain exchange interaction of SmCo6.8Zr0.2/\al-(Fe,Co) magnets increases greatly by the decrease of the measured temperature. According to \Delta m_{\rm irr}--H/H_{\rm cj}, \Delta m_{\rm rev}--H/H_{\rm cj} and \chi_{\rm irr}--H/H_{\rm cj} curves at room temperature and 100~K, the changes of irreversible and reversible magnetization behaviours of SmCo6.8Zr0.2 and SmCo6.8Zr0.2/\al-(Fe,Co) magnets with the decreasing temperature are analysed in detail. The magnetic viscosity and the activation volume of SmCo6.8Zr0.2 and SmCo6.8Zr0.2/\al-(Fe,Co) magnets at different temperatures are also studied.

Abstract: This paper reports that the SmCo6.8Zr0.2 nanocrystalline permanent magnets and SmCo6.8Zr0.2/$\alpha$-(Fe,Co) nanocomposite permanent magnets are successfully produced by mechanical alloying and subsequently annealing at 700 ${^\circ}$C for 10 minutes. The x-ray diffraction results show that the phase structure of SmCo6.8Zr0.2 nanocrystalline permanent magnets is composed of SmCo7 phase and SmCo6.8Zr0.2/$\alpha$-(Fe, Co) nanocomposite permanent magnets is composed of SmCo7 and $\alpha$ -(Fe,Co) phases. The mechanism of magnetization reversal is mainly controlled by inhomogeneous domain wall pinning in SmCo6.8Zr0.2 and SmCo6.8Zr0.2/$\alpha$-(Fe,Co) magnets. The inter-grain exchange interaction at low temperature is investigated, which shows that the inter-grain exchange interaction of SmCo6.8Zr0.2/$\alpha$-(Fe,Co) magnets increases greatly by the decrease of the measured temperature. According to $\Delta m_{\rm irr}-H/H_{\rm cj}$, $\Delta m_{\rm rev}-H/H_{\rm cj}$ and $\chi_{\rm irr}-H/H_{\rm cj}$ curves at room temperature and 100 K, the changes of irreversible and reversible magnetization behaviours of SmCo6.8Zr0.2 and SmCo6.8Zr0.2/$\alpha$-(Fe,Co) magnets with the decreasing temperature are analysed in detail. The magnetic viscosity and the activation volume of SmCo6.8Zr0.2 and SmCo6.8Zr0.2/$\alpha$-(Fe,Co) magnets at different temperatures are also studied.
