Notes:
The simulation of powder compaction for Nd–Fe–B, Sm–Co, and barium ferrite shows the influence of different static field strengths and different mold filling on particle misalignment. The final magnetization differs up to 20%. The processing determines the pressure activated processes in which the particle overcomes a volume barrier, characterized by elastic energy fluctuations. Isostatic compaction shows less pressure activated processes as compared to uniaxial mold pressing. However, an improved magnetization of about 10% owing to isostatic pressing was observed only for spherical particles. The pressure activated processes determine particle density defects such as cracks and pores, misalignment of c axes at the punch side, at corners and at particle density defects, and internal stress areas with cold plastic flow. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
