Abstract:Soft-magnetic alloys exhibit exceptional functional properties that are beneficial for a variety of electromagnetic applications. These alloys are conventionally manufactured into sheet or bar forms using well-established insgot metallurgy practices that involve hot- and cold-working steps. However, recent developments in process metallurgy have unlocked opportunities to directly produce bulk soft-magnetic alloys with improved, and often tailorable, structure–property relationships that are unachievable conven… Show more
“…Permanent magnets based on rare earth (RE) elements, such as Nd 2 Fe 14 B, play a fundamental role in current and emerging technologies; they are found in commonly used devices (computers, speakers, smartphones, etc. ), in the development of electric vehicles, and are an indispensable input for the construction of electrical generators capable of producing electrical energy from renewable natural sources such as water (hydroelectric power), wind (wind power) and the sea (wave energy) [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. For this reason, the design of high-performance permanent magnets represents a need at the industrial level [ 1 , 2 , 5 , 6 , 7 ].…”

“…Therefore, a huge gap crisis has been generated between the supply and demand of these magnets due to the unavailability of these raw materials and the difficulty in supplying them [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Taking into account this problem, recent studies have focused on the search for alternatives to produce magnets with a high energy density (BH)max using the smallest possible amount of rare earths [ 1 , 2 , 5 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Thus, the development of producing a two-phase nanocomposite formed by two magnetic phases, a hard one with high anisotropy (NdFeB or SmCo) coupled with a soft one with high magnetization (Fe, FeSi or FeCo), has gained great relevance in recent years and is considered the new generation of permanent magnets [ 1 , 4 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ].…”

The objective of this work is to evaluate the applicability of exchange coupling between nanoparticles of Nd2Fe14B (hard magnetic material) and Fe90Al10 (soft magnetic material), as permanent magnets produced by surfactant-assisted mechanical alloying. The obtained powders were then mixed with 85% of the Nd2Fe14B system and 15% of the Fe90Al10 system and subsequently sintered at 300 °C, 400 °C and 500 °C for one hour. The results obtained by Mössbauer spectrometry (MS) show a ferromagnetic behavior with six magnetic sites represented by sextets (16k1, 16k2, 8j1, 8j2, 4c and 4e), characteristic of the Nd2Fe14B system. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show a tetragonal and BCC structure for the Nd2Fe14B and FeAl systems, respectively. The results obtained by vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), for mixtures of the Nd2Fe14B and Fe90Al10 sy stems sintered at 300 °C, 400 °C and 500 °C, allow for the conclusion that the coercive field (Hc) decreases drastically with temperature and the percentage of soft phase at values of Hc = 132 Oe compared to the coercive field values reported for Nd2Fe14B Hc = 6883 Oe, respectively. Images obtained by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), for the Fe90Al10 system, show a tendency for the nanoparticles to agglomerate.

“…[10] and texturing in the <100> "hard" magnetization direction, both of which can be common in AM processes [23] and can negatively affect coercivity and permeability. [24] AM has also been demonstrated for bulk fabrication of other soft magnetic materials; [17,25] however, the use of these materials in shielding applications is limited due to their lower magnetic permeabilities compared to Fi-80Ni-based alloys. [26] For example, Fe-Si alloys are better suited for use in electric motors because of their high electrical resistivity and resultant low eddy current losses.…”
Magnetic shielding in spacecraft is a mission‐critical issue that must be addressed in a timely and effective manner. The high permeability of Fe–Ni–Mo alloys, makes them excellent candidates for magnetic shielding. This article explores a new and innovative approach, enabled by additive manufacturing (AM), to design, build, and test geometrically complex magnetic shields. A Fe–79.7Ni–4.1Mo alloy is additively manufactured using blown powder laser‐directed energy deposition (DED). AM build conditions are explored in the production of magnetic test rings and magnetic shield prototypes. Magnetic hysteresis test data are obtained, allowing for the determination of magnetic permeability, saturation, and coercivity. Detailed microstructural characterization is carried out. Three different prototype shield designs are printed and magnetic shield attenuation data is obtained. The magnetic field attenuation (shield effectiveness) obtained for the AM components is comparable to wrought equivalents. The values reported here for the magnetic permeability are the highest, and that for the magnetic coercivity the lowest, for any blown powder DED‐printed material currently known. The magnetic behavior is discussed with regard to grain size and orientation, as well as grain boundary effects, with all of these attributes contributing to the ultimate performance.
