Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Regular features of variation of structure and magnetic properties of cast alloy Nd9.5Fe84B6Cu0.5 are studied as a function of the duration of milling in a high-power ball mill and of the temperature of subsequent annealing. The structure and the phase composition of the alloy are determined by the method of x-ray diffraction. The microstructure is studied with the help of a scanning electron microscope. The magnetic properties are measured with the help of a hysteresigraph with maximum magnetization field 2000 kA/m.
