Abstract
The structure, phase transformation and magnetic properties of SmyFe93-y-zTizC7 Nδ (y=8, 10, 12, 14; z=0, 3, 5, 7) alloys prepared by mechanical alloying (MA) and nitrogenation have been studied. The main phase in the alloys transforms from Nd2Fe14B-type to TbCu7-type when the Ti content is increased. The magnetic properties of SmyFe93-y-zTizC7 alloys are improved by nitriding, which is sensitive to the nitriding temperature. The hard magnetic properties of the MA SmyFe93-y-zTizC7 Nδ alloys are better than those of the carbon-free counterparts due to the formation of Sm(Fe,Ti)7CxNδ/α-Fe nanocomposite. The Sm12Fe74Ti7C7 alloy, annealed at 850°C for 30 min and nitrided at 400°C for 5 h, has the magnetic properties iHc=38.5 kOe and (BH)max=8.84 MGOe. The re-milling process before nitrogenation is beneficial to achieving the magnetic properties of iHc=6.87 kOe and (BH)max=13.5 MGOe for Sm10Fe76Ti7C7 Nδ alloys.
