Sm-Fe-N powder was successfully consolidated into bulk materials at room temperature by the compression shearing method. Regardless of the applied shear stress, the resultant bulk materials retained the original Sm2Fe17N3 phase structure without any appreciable decomposition of the Sm2Fe17N3 phase. The density of the resultant bulk materials and the remanence of the Sm-Fe-N magnets increased with increasing the applied shear stress. A magnetically anisotropic Sm-Fe-N bulk magnet was obtained using the premagnetized Sm-Fe-N powder. The resultant Sm-Fe-N bulk magnet exhibited a remanence of 6.8kG with a coercivity of 10.8kOe.
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.
