The HDDR (hydrogenation, disproportionation, desorption, and recombination) process can be used as an effective way of converting a no coercivity Nd-Fe-B ingot material, with a coarse $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ grain structure, to a highly coercive one with a fine grain structure. Careful control of the HDDR process can lead to an anisotropic powder with good $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ grain texture; the most critical step for inducing texture is disproportionation. The critical conditions (hydrogen pressure and temperature) for the disproportionation reaction of fully hydrogenated $Nd_{12.5}Fe_{81.1-(x+y)}B_{6.4}Ga_xNb_y$ (x = 0 or 0.3, y = 0 or 0.2) alloys, in different atmospheres of pure hydrogen and a mixed gas of hydrogen and argon, was investigated with TPA (thermopiezic analyser). From this, the hydrogen pressure-temperature diagram showing the critical conditions was established. The critical disproportionation temperature of the fully hydrogenated $Nd_{12.5}Fe_{81.1-(x+y)}B_{6.4}Ga_xNb_y$ alloys was slightly increased as the hydrogen pressure decreased in both pure hydrogen and mixed gas. The critical disproportionation temperature of the hydrogenated alloys was higher in the mixed gas than in pure hydrogen. Addition of Ga and Nb increased the critical disproportionation temperature of the fully hydrogenated Nd-Fe-B alloys.

Nd 함유량을 4 at.%로 고정시킨 Nd-Fe-B 합금의 자기특성이 조사되었다. 급속응고된 $Nd_{4}Fe_{85.5}B_{10.5}$ 합금은 열처리에 의하여 ${\alpha}-Fe$ 연자성기지에 석출되며, $Nd_{4}Fe_{85.5}B_{10.5}$ 합금에 Mo, Nb, V 및 Cu의 첨가는 결정립을 미세화시켜 보자력을 향상시킨다. 그러나 ${\alpha}-Fe$ 결정립에 의한 각형성 열화는 잔류자화를 감소시킨다. $Nd_{4}Fe_{82}B_{10}M_{3}Cu_{1}$(M = Mo, Nb, V) 합금에서 보자력은 M = V < Nb < Mo로 증가하며, M = Mo에서 2.7 kOe이고, 잔류자화는 M = Mo < Nb < V순으로 증가하며 M = V에서 1.35 T이다.

Rare earth (RE) - transition metal based high energy density magnets are of immense significance in various engineering applications. $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ magnets possess the highest energy product and are widely used in whole industries. Simultaneously, composite alloys that are cheap, cost effective and strong commercially available have drawn great attention, because rare-earth metals are costly, less abundant and strategic shortage. We designed rare-earth free alloys and fabrication process and developed novel route to prepare $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ powders by wet process employing spray drying and reduction-diffusion (R-D) without the use of high purity metals as raw material. MnAl-base permanent magnetic powders are potentially important material for rare-earth free magnets. We have prepared the nano-sized MnAl powders by plasma arc discharge and micron-sized MnAl powders by gas atomization. They showed good magnetic property, compared with that from conventional processes. $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ powders with high coercivity of more than 10 kOe were successfully synthesized by adjusting R-D step, followed by precise washing system. It is considered that this process can be applied for the recycling of RE-elements extracted from ewaste including motors.

급속냉각기술로 제조된 $Nd_{10.5}Fe_{79}Co_{2}Zr_{1.5}B_{7}$ 합금분말을 사용하여 사출성형용 자성 펠렛을 제조하였다. 입도분포가 다른 두 종류의 분말($38~75\;\mu\textrm{m}$ 및 $75~50\;\mu\textrm{m}$)을 사용하여 열가소성(Nylon 6) 펠렛을 제조한 후 자성분말의 임계분율(critical volume fraction) 을 결정하고 수지자석의 성형밀도에 따른 자기특성을 고찰하였다. Nylon 6 수지를 사용한 Nd-Fe-Co-Zr-B계 펠렛은 분말입도가 $38~75\;\mu\textrm{m}$인 경우 임계 부피분율은 70%로 나타났고, 그때의 성형밀도는 이론밀도 의 90%를 상회 했으나 $75~150\;\mu\textrm{m}$ 분말의 경우는 같은 분율에서 이론밀도의 87% 수준에 머물렀다. 최적의 자기특성은 분말에 윤활제로서 silicone oil만을 0.5wt.% 첨가한 경우이며 이때의 자기특성으로, $(BH)_{max}=5.2\;MGOe,\;B_{r}=5.1\;kG$ 그리고 $_{i}H_{c}=8.8\;kOe$의 높은 수준을 보였다. Nylon 6수지자석의 성형밀도를 예측할 수 있는 경험식으로서, ${\rho}(g/cm^{3})=1.1+K.V_{s}$을 얻었으며 K(5.3~5.6)는 자성분말 입도에 따른 기울기 상수이고 $V_{s}$는 분말의 부피분율이다.

The performance of two designs of permanent magnet brushless motor, by having self-shielding magnetized magnets or sinusoidally shaped parallel-magnetized magnets with essentially sinusoidal airgap flux distributions, are compared. It is shown that the parallel-magnetized motor with shaped sintered NdFeB magnets can result in a higher airgap flux density and torque density than that of a self-shielding magnetized motor equipped with an anisotropic injection moulded NdFeB ring magnet.

In this study, a convergent heat treatment was performed in certain temperature regions in order to control the microstructures of Nd-rich phases and to reduce thermal stress on grain boundaries which could be caused during expansion and shrinkage of Nd-rich and $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ phases. The difference of thermal expansion coefficient between $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ and Nd-rich phases is the mechanism for convergent heat treatment. The Nd-rich phases which were located in junctions could penetrate into the grain boundaries between $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ phases due to the difference of thermal expansion coefficient. Through the convergent heat treatment, the microcracks that were observed in cyclic heat treatment were not observed and coercivity was increased to 34.05 kOe at 8 cycles.

소량의 Zn및 Sn분말을 급냉응고된 NdFeB 자성합금 분말에 첨가한 후 CA-press공정에 의해 등방성 자석을 제조하고, 제조된 등방성 자석을 CA-deformation 공정에 의해 소성변형시켜 이방성 자석을 제조하였다. 원료분말만을 밀링하여 사용한 경우, 밀링시간에 관계없이 잔류자화값은 일정하였으며, 보자력은 초기원료 분말을 그대로 사용하는 경우에 비하여 감소하였다. 이에 반해 소량의 Zn및 Sn분말을 첨가하고 볼밀링에 의하여 혼합한 분말로부터 제조된 등방성 자석 및 이방성 자석의 보자력은 첨가원소가 없는 경우의 시편보다 증가하였으며, 0.3wt.% Zn및 Sn이 첨가된 이방성 자석에서는 보자력이 5kOe 정도 증가하였다.

The influence of Nd and B contents on the magnetic properties and structures of ${\alpha}-Fe$ based Nd-(Fe,Co)-B-Mo-Cu alloys was investigated. $Nd_{4}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{92-x}B_{x}Mo_{3}Cu_{1}$ and $Nd_{x}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{86-x}B_{10}Mo_{3}Cu_{1}$ amorphous alloys prepared by rapid solidification process were crystallized to form nanocrystalline structure. The increase of B content in $Nd_{4}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{92-x}B_{x}Mo_{3}Cu_{1}$ nanocrystalline resulted in the change of stucture of soft phase in the sequence of ${\alpha}-Fe$->${\alpha}-Fe+Fe_{3}B$->$Fe_{3}B$. The coercivitis of the alloys were increased with increasing B content and was 263 kA/m at x=18. On the contrary, the remanence has shown an opposite trends. The increase of Nd content in $Nd_{x}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{86-x}B_{10}Mo_{3}Cu_{1}$ nanocrystalline containing ${\alpha}-Fe$ as main phase had no effect on the structure and improved coercivity up to 256 kA/m. However, the remanence was decreased from 1.4 T to 1.15 T according to the increase of Nd content.

Mischmetal of Bayan Obo ore was utilized to prepare the high performance $(Pr_{7.34}Nd_{21.86})_{1-x}MM_xFe_{68.7}Al_{0.1}Cu_{0.12}Co_{0.88}B$ ribbons using melt-spinning method. Phase composition and magnetic properties were investigated at room temperature. The ribbons mainly consist of $R_2Fe_{14}B$ phase in isotropic nanostructure. Both coercivity and maximum energy product decrease with the increase of MM content. The magnetic parameters of the ribbons with MM = 20 % in mass are $B_r=7.38kGs$, $H_{cj}=13.66kOe$, $(BH)_{max}=11.81MGOe$. Henkel plots were applied to demonstrate the exchange coupling interaction between grains.

A solid-HDDR characteristics of the Nd-Fe-B-type alloys magnetic properties of the solid-HDDR treated materials have been investigated using three types of alloys; $Nd_{15}Fe_{77}B_8 (alloy A), Nd_{16}Fe_{75.9}B_8Zr_{0.1}(alloy B), and Nd_{12.6}Fe_{68.7}Co_{11.6}B_8Ga_{1.0}Zr_{0.1} $(alloy C). It has been found that the four-components alloy B and six-components alloy C have showed higher hydrogenation temperatures than the ternary alloy A. The alloys A and B appeared to absorb more hydrogen gas more rapidly as well compared to the alloy C. The disproportionation temperature of hydrogenated materials was exhibited no significant difference among the alloys. The thermal stability of the hydrided materials of the three types of alloys was found to become more stable in order of number of components. The disproportionation and the recombination kinetics were significantly sluggish in the solid-HDDR manner with respect to the conventional manner. Some degree of anisotropic nature was found to exist in the ingot and this anisotropic nature was retained even after the solid-HDDR treatment. It was suggested the solid-HDDR treatment may possibly be used for a preparation of an isotropic or anisotropic Nd-Fe-B-type cast magnets.
