The structure and magnetic properties of Nd(Fe,M)12Nx (M=Ti,Mo,V) compounds prepared by mechanical alloying (MA) have been studied using x-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. It is found that after annealing, single-phase Nd(Fe,V)12 compounds can be obtained over a large composition range, but can only be obtained in Nd(Fe,V)11 after MA. The crystallization of stoichiometric compounds at 750–950 °C always produces a small amount of α-Fe(V) in addition to the 1:12 phase. Below 750 °C, the crystallization is not complete and large amounts of α-Fe(V) are present. When nitriding at 450 °C, the α-Fe(V) phase disappears accompanied by the formation of an amorphous phase and a 1:7 nitride phase. The crystallized phase retains the 1:12 structure when nitriding at 480 °C. The highest coercivity of 8.8 kOe has been obtained for the NdFe10.5V1.5Nx compound. The difference between the coercivities of MA Nd(Fe,V)12Nx, Nd(Fe,Mo)12Nx, NdFe11TiNx, and Sm2Fe17Nx compounds is attributed to their different crystallization behavior and phase stability during nitrogenation. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
