Chemical synthesis and research nanopowder of magnetic hard alloy Nd₁₅Fe₇₈B₇

Abstract

Hard magnetic nanopowders of the Nd15Fe78B7 alloy were synthesized by the reduction-diffusion reaction of a stoichiometric mixture of Nd, Fe, and Fe-B oxides with CaH2 in a hydrogen atmosphere at 800 ° C. Nd, Fe, Fe-B oxides were obtained by precipitation and had the form of granules with an average particle size of neodymium oxide - 50 nm, iron oxide - 95 nm, iron borate - 57 nm. The particle size of the Nd15Fe78B7 alloy was 45-140 nm. It is shown that the proposed method is suitable for obtaining nanopowders of hard magnetic alloys of the Nd-Fe-B system.
