Nd2Fe14B particles were obtained from mixture of neodymium oxide, iron oxide, boric acid and CaH2 by reduction-diffusion process. Two different washing processes were used for the separation of magnetic particles from Ca and CaO matrix: usual washing with water and planetary ball milling process in ethanol media. Nd2Fe14BHx hydrogenated state was formed after usual washing with water. Ethanol planetary ball milling washing procedure prevented the formation of Nd2Fe14B hydrides during washing. Variation of milling parameters allowed producing particles with different morphology such as spherical or flakes after planetary ball milling washing process. Influence of milling parameters on magnetic properties of Nd2Fe14B powder was investigated.
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.
