Absfracr-High-coercivity SmCo, alloys were prepared by melt spinning. X-ray diffraction data indicate that the alloys exhibit a single phase S m C s and SmzCol, structure at x = 5.0 and x = 8.5, respectively. A two-phase structure appears at 5.0 < x < 8.5. The coercivity of the studied alloys increases as the wheel speed is increased up to a maximum value of 40 m/s. The grain sizes of the as-spun alloys were measured to be 0.1-1.0 pm. The high coercivity of the microcomposite alloys can be explained from the unpinning of domain walls at nucleation sites.
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.
