Abstract
The effects of nitriding the samarium-cobalt intermetallic SmCo5 are s tudied. It is observed that increased amounts of nitrogen are absorbed as the SmCo5 powders are heated at higher temperatures in a flowing N -2 atmosphere. The saturation magnetization M(s) of the bonded SmCo5Nx magnets initially increases as the amount of nitrogen absorbed is inc reased but then decreases as additional nitrogen is absorbed. A possib le explanation of this behavior is given. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
