Abstract
Y2Fe17 and other RE-Fe-based compounds have been successfully nitrogen ated by heating mixtures of powdered alloy with sodium azide at temper atures between 300 and 450 degrees C. The high nitrogenation power of NaN3 seems to come from its low decomposition temperature and an impro ved nitrogen diffusion rate through the particle surfaces cleaned by s odium.
