Abstract
Sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets mainly consist of the hardmagnetic Nd2Fe14B compou nd and of Nd-rich constituents. The addition of Co results in the formation of additional, Co containing modified, intergranular phases, especially Nd 3Co. Such phases are chemical more stable and therefore increase the corros ion resistance of the Go-containing magnets. Investigations on the corrosio n stability in dependence on the Go-concentration reveal that about 3.5 at% Co additions are required for an improved corrosion stability.
