Notes:
The temperature stability of Nd-Fe-B alloy has been improved by the combined addition of Dy and Co and either Al, Ga, or Nb. However, additions of large amounts of Dy, Al, Ga, and Nb substantially reduce the Br from that of Nd-Fe-B, and thus reduce overall magnet performance. This study shows that properly combined additions of Dy, Co, and Al to pseudoternary (Nd,Dy)-(Fe,Co,Al)-B compounds improve both temperature stability and energy density. Hci and Br increase more than in the alloys modified with Dy, Co, or Al alone. The Hci of the alloys increases almost linearly with Dy content at a rate of about 6.8 kOe/at. % Dy, when the alloys contain approximately 5–6 at. % Co, and Al and Dy in a ratio of 1 to 1.2 Al/Dy. The temperature coefficients of Br and Hci, and the irreversible losses of (Nd,Dy)-(Fe,Co,Al)-B alloys are lower than those of the other alloys tested. When compared to Nd-Dy-Fe-Co-B alloy, the reduced consumption of Dy increases the energy products and reduces the material cost, without sacrificing temperature stability.
