Abstract

Efforts to develop and refine, by experiment, a model for the metallurgical behavior of Sm2(Co,Fe,Cu,Zr)17 alloys are reviewed. A summary of how the results of these studies have been utilized to improve, by 10 to 20%, the energy products of the 2:17-type magnets over a wide range of temperatures, up to 300 °C, is presented. The potential for further improvement of energy products and extension of the operating temperature range is assessed.
