摘要

Structure and magnetic properties were studied for Sm(Co0.74Cu0.12Fe0.1Zr0.04)(7.6) nanocrystalline ball milled powders and bulk magnet consolidated via spark plasma sintering technique. The amorphous milling powders crystallize to TbCu7 structure or a mixture of Th2Zn17 and CaCu5 structures when annealed below or above 1023 K, respectively. The coercivity of the powders decreases from 1.27 to 0.56 T as the annealed temperature increases from 923 to 1223 K. The bulk magnet also exhibits a TbCu7 structure with an average grain size of 32 nm. Magnetic measurements show that the remanence is 0.49 T and the coercivity reaches as high as 1.42 T. The Mr/Ms ratio of 0.63 demonstrates the existence of intergrain exchange coupling among the nanograins. The magnet exhibits the coercivity of 0.27 T at 773 K.
