Abstract
The application range of 2:17 Sm-Co magnets is limited by poor mechanical properties. This study investigates the effects of adding Sm2O3 during ball milling and introducing O2 during jet milling on the mechanical and magnetic properties of 2:17 Sm-Co magnets. With increasing oxygen content, the flexural strength in both Sm2O3-added and O2-added magnets was enhanced. Flexural strength in Sm2O3-added magnets increased by 18.5 % with oxygen content (x) rising from 0.07 wt.% to 0.46 wt.%, while in O2-added magnets, a 43.0 % increase was observed with oxygen content (x) from 0.08 wt.% to 0.41 wt.%. The uniform dispersion of Sm2O3 and its grain refinement effect contribute to superior mechanical properties in O2-added magnets. It can be foreseen that compensation with a certain Sm content can achieve a combination of magnetic and mechanical properties. This study provides insights for developing magnets with exceptional overall performance.
期刊介绍:
Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. The emphasis is on originality rather than incremental research. Short reports on the development of materials with novel or substantially improved properties are also welcomed. Emphasis is on either the functional or mechanical behavior of metals, ceramics and semiconductors at all length scales.
