As the third generation of rare earth permanent magnet material, sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets have been widely used in many application fields due to their excellent magnetic properties[1]. However, for traditional Nd-Fe-B magnets, the less abundant elements Nd and Pr have been excessive consumed, while the utilization rate of the most abundant elements La and Ce is very low due to the significantly magnetic properties deterioration of (Nd,Ce/La)-Fe-B magnets by doping the Ce or La directly. Recent studies found that one kind of preparation technology can effectively reduces the deterioration of magnetic properties resulting from the addition of rare earth La and Ce[2-4]. As known, sintering and annealing processes play an important role …show more content…

Two typed as-sintered magnets without annealing process were prepared by Single-main-phase and Dual-main-phase methods, which were reported in previous study[5]. The microstructure of (Ce,Nd)-Fe-B based as-sintered magnets were studied by scanning electron microscope(SEM). The demagnetization curves of magnets at different temperature were measured using a NIM-500C hysteresigraph …show more content…

At the same time, Type II as-sintered magnet exhibits better squareness than that of Type I as-sintered magnet. The microstructures of the two typed magnets were shown in Fig.1. It was found that the microstructure of Type II magnet is superior to that of Type I magnet. On the other hand, Type II magnet exhibits better wettability between main phase and grain-boundary phase than that of Type I magnet. The RE-rich phases of Type II magnet have more continuous and uniform distribution (red regions in Fig.1 (b)). In contrast, this kind of situation is rarely appear in Type I magnet. It is precisely because of the optimization of grain-boundary, the magnetic properties of Type II magnet were improved slightly. The room temperature and elevated temperature demagnetization curves of the two typed magnets were shown in Fig.2. The remanence (Br), coercivity (Hcj) and maximum energy product (BH)max are all decrease with the increase of temperature. The temperature coefficients of remanence (α) and coercivity (β) usually represent thermal stability. The absolute value of β (from 20°C to 120 °C) for Type II magnet (|β|=0.665%/°C) is lower than that of Type I magnet (|β|=0.685%/°C), which indicates the thermal stability improved
