The paper refers to magnetic and structural properties of powders made of Fe-Nb-B-Tb ultra-high coercive alloy. The initial alloy was milled in a low energy mill for 1 h and 14 h. With increasing milling time we observed gradual deterioration of hard magnetic properties i.e. the coercive field decreases from 5.51 T to 0.14 T for the bulk alloy and 14 h milled powder, respectively. However, for the 1 h milling time the micrometric powder reveals quite high coercivity of 2.77 T which is promising for possible applications in magnetic composites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
