Nd12.3−xDyxFe81.7Zr0.8Nb0.8Cu0.4B6.0 (x=0–2.5)ribbons have been prepared by melt-spun at 30 m/s and subsequent annealing. The influence of addition of Dy on the crystallization behavior, magnetic properties, and microstructure were investigated. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed a single-phase material. Microstructure studies using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) had shown a significant microstructure refinement with Dy addition. Wohlfarth’s analysis showed that the exchange coupling interactions increased first with Dy contentxincreasing, reached the maximum value atx=0.5, and then slightly decreased withxfurther increasing. Optimal magnetic properties withJr=1.09 T,Hci=1048 kA/m, andBHmax=169.5 kJ/m3are achieved by annealing the melt-spun ribbons withx=0.5at% at 700°C for 10 min.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
