고특성 영구자석은 하이브리드 및 전기자동차의 구동모터와 풍력발전에 적용되면서 크게 주목을 받고 있다. Nd-Fe-B 영구자석은 가장 높은 최대자기에너지적을 가지고 있지만 고온(${\sim}200^{\circ}C$)의 구동환경에서는 보자력이 급격히 감소하기 때문에 사용할 수 없는 단점을 가지고 있다. 그러므로 큰 보자력을 가지는 Nd-Fe-B 영구자석에 대한 개발이 요구되고 있다. Nd-Fe-B 소결자석에서 보자력을 증가시키기 위해서는 Nd를 Dy 또는 Tb으로 치환하면 쉽게 증가시킬 수 있다. 그러나 이들 원소는 Fe와 반강자성 결합을 하여 잔류자속밀도를 낮추고, 적은 매장량과 한정된 지역에 편재되어 있어 수요급증에 따른 자원수급 및 가격 급등의 문제를 가지고 있다. 따라서, Dy 및 Tb과 같은 중희토류를 사용하지 않거나 최소한의 양을 사용하여 보자력을 증가시키고자 하는 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 중희토류 원소의 저감 및 대체에 대한 연구들을 소개하고자 한다.

High-coercive (Nd,Dy)-Fe-B magnets were fabricated via dysprosium coating on Nd-Fe-B powder. The sputtering coating process of Nd-Fe-B powder yielded samples with densities greater than 98%. $(Nd,Dy)_2Fe_{14}B$ phases may have effectively penetrated into the boundaries between neighboring $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ grains during the sputtering coating process, thereby forming a $(Nd,Dy)_2Fe_{14}B$ phase at the grain boundary. The maximum thickness of the Dy shell was approximately 70 nm. The maximum coercivity of the Dy sputter coated samples(sintered samples) increased from 1162.42 to 2020.70 kA/m. The microstructures of the $(Nd,Dy)_2Fe_{14}B$ phases were effectively controlled, resulting in improved magnetic properties. The increase in coercivity of the Nd-Fe-B sintered magnet is discussed from a microstructural point of view.

Pr, Nd-Fe-B계 합금을 주조 및 열간압축한 후 직류자화측정기와 진동시료형 자속계를 이용하여 자기적 특성을 측정하였다. 이 결과로부터 제 2상과 보자력과의 관계를 조사하였다. 주조시 $Pr_{17}Fe_{76.5}B_{5}Cu_{1.5}$계 합금에는 ${\alpha}-Fe$가, $Nd_{14}Dy_{1}Fe_{78.5}B_{5}Cu_{1.5}$계 합금에는 $Nd_{2}Fe_{17}$상이 각각 생성 되었다. 생성된 제 2상은 R(R=Pr, Nd)-Fe-B계 주조합금의 자기적 특성을 저하시킨다. 주조합금을 열처리하면 열자기분석 곡선에서 ${\alpha}-Fe$, $Nd_{2}Fe_{17}$상이 확인되지 않았다. 열처리 시 이와 같은 연자성상이 제거됨에 따라 열처리된 Pr, Nd-Fe-B계 주소합금의 자기적 특성은 증가하였다. Nd-Fe-B-Cu계 열간압축 자석에서의 보자력의 온도계수($\beta$)는 0.48로, 이를 Nd-Fe-B계 소결자석의 ${\beta}=0.86$, Nd-Fe-Co-B계 소결자석의 ${\beta}=0.5$와 비교해 보면 열간압축된 자석이 우수한 열적안정성을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.

Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets have been utilized on various industrial fields such as electric vehicles, generator, robots with actuator, etc, due to their outstanding magnetic properties even 10 times better than conventional magnets. Recently, there are many researches that report magnetic properties improved by controlling microstructure through adjusting alloying elements or conducting various processing. Especially, post-sintering annealing (PSA) can significantly improve the coercivity by modifying the distribution and morphology of Nd-rich phase which formed at grain boundaries. In this study, Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets were subjected to primary heat treatment followed by secondary heat treatment at 460℃, 500℃, and 540℃ to investigate the changes in microstructure and magnetic properties with the secondary heat treatment temperature. EBSD analysis was conducted to compare anisotropic characteristics. Through the SEM and TEM observation for analyzing the morphology and distribution of Nd-rich phase, we investigated the relationship between microstructure and magnetic properties of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets.

High performance Nd-Fe-B magnets can be manufactured by both sintering and hot deformation. The corrosion behaviors of the magnets prepared by the two processes were compared. Effect of microstructure on the corrosion resistance of Nd-Fe-B magnets was also investigated. A neutral salt spray test (NSS) was performed for the different-processed magnets. The weight losses of the samples after the corrosion test were measured. The corrosion microstructures were observed using a scanning electron microscope. It shows that the corrosion resistance of hot deformed magnets is much better than that of the sintered ones because the grain size and the distribution of Nd-rich phases of the hot deformed magnets are much finer and more uniform than those of the sintered ones. The different microstructure between the sintered and the hot deformed magnets causes the different corrosion behavior.

Recently, the grain boundary diffusion process (GBDP), involving heavy rare-earth elements such as Dy and Tb, has been widely used to enhance the coercivity of Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets. For example, a Dy compound is coated onto the surface of Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets, and then the magnets are heat treated. Subsequently, Dy diffuses into the grain boundaries of Nd-Fe-B magnets, forming Dy-Fe-B or Nd-Dy-Fe-B. The dip-coating process is also used widely instead of the GBDP. However, it is quite hard to control the thickness uniformity using dip coating. In this study, first, a $DyF_3$ paste is fabricated using $DyF_3$ powder. Subsequently, the fabricated $DyF_3$ paste is homogeneously coated onto the surface of a Nd-Fe-B sintered magnet. The magnet is then subjected to GBDP to enhance its coercivity. The weight ratio of binder and $DyF_3$ powder is controlled, and we find that the coercivity enhances with decreasing binder content. In addition, the maximum coercivity is obtained with the paste containing 70 wt% of $DyF_3$ powder.

MnBi alloys were fabricated by arc melting and annealing at 573 K. The heat treatment enhanced the content of the low-temperature phase (LTP) of MnBi up to 83 wt%. The Bi-excess assisted LTP MnBi alloys were used in the hybridization with the Nd-Fe-B commercial Magnequench ribbons to form the hybrid magnets (100-x)NdFeB/xMnBi, x = 20, 30, 40, 50, and 80 wt%. The as-milled powder mixtures of Nd-Fe-B and MnBi were aligned in a magnetic field of 18 kOe and warm-compacted to anisotropic and dense bulk magnets at 573 K by 2,000 psi for 10 min. The magnetic ordering of two hard phase components strengthened by the exchange coupling enhanced the Curie temperature ($T_c$) of the magnet in comparison to that of the powder mixture sample. The prepared hybrid magnets were highly anisotropic with the ratio $M_r/M_s$ > 0.8. The exchange coupling was high, and the coercivity $_iH_c$ of the magnets was ~11-13 kOe. The maximum value of the energy product $(BH)_{max}$ was 8.4 MGOe for the magnet with x = 30%. The preparation of MnBi alloys and hybrid magnets are discussed in details.

Addition of 2.0wt%$Dy_2O_3$ or 0.3wt%Sn proved to be very effective in improving the permanent magnetic properties of NdFeNbB magnets. $Dy_2O_3$ additions result in the increase in the Hci and temperature dependence due to formation of (NdDy)-rich phase and grain refinement of $\Phi$ phase. This improvement of the coercivity stability of the magnets from the addition of Sn is attributed to the smoothing effect of the Sn addition at the grain boundaries. The magnetic properties, the temperature dependence and Curie temperature of NdFeNbB with $Dy_2O_3$ and Sn combined addition were found to be considerably improved.
