摘要

The role of Cu-dopant in regulating magnetic properties of Cu-doped Nd2.33(Fe0.93Co0.07)15B melt-spun ribbons has been reported. The Cu-dopant was doped to the NdFeB-based alloys by using the low melting temperature eutectic alloy of Nd67Cu33. This doping has been chosen to create pinning centers on grains boundaries thus improving the ribbons’ coercivity. The drop of saturation magnetization Ms resulted by decreasing the volume fraction of magnetic phase caused by this dopant is compensated by applying the Magnetic-Field-assisted-melt-spinning that enhances the alignment of easy axis of grains. The transmission electron microscopy images reveal the sizes of grains and the homogeneous distribution of elements inside ribbons. The X-ray diffraction patterns allow to prove the main Nd2Fe14B phase compositions, estimate the preferred crystal growth direction as well the texture of ribbons. The existence of pinning centers on grain boundaries of ribbons has been proved by using their DSC traces and virgin magnetization curves. The SQUID as well PPMS magnetization loops evaluate the impacts of Cu-dopant on the magnetic properties of ribbons. The obtained results proved the positive role of Nd67Cu33 in regulating the magnetic performance of doped ribbons. The current best value of energy product (BH)max reached 17.63 MGOe for the ribbon of Nd2.33(Fe0.93Co0.07)15B + 8(wt%)Nd67Cu33 melt-spun at the wheel speed of 15.8 m/s in zero field. The assisted magnetic field oriented parallel to the ribbons’ surface Hass// reveals the impact in aligning the easy axes of grains inside the plane of ribbons that is preferred to use this kind of ribbons in producing anisotropic bonded magnets. (BH)max of the ribbon Nd2.33(Fe0.93Co0.07)15B + 6(wt%)Nd67Cu33 melt-spun at 15.8 m/s in Hass// = 3 kG was 17.38 MGOe against 13.4 MGOe in the case without a field. The doping and ribbon processing are presented and discussed in detail.
