Hw. Kwon et Su. Park, Coercivity enhancement of the Sm-2(Fe,Nb)(17)N-x-type materials by twice HDDR processing, IEEE MAGNET, 35(5), 1999, pp. 3256-3258
In an attempt to achieve finer grain which will improve coercivity in Sm2Fe
17Nx-type material, HDDR of Sm2Fe17-type alloy was done twice Before nitrog
enation. It has been found that the nitride prepared from this type of HDDR
-treated material exhibited a remarkably higher coercivity (around 19 kOe)
compared to that from single HDDR-treated material (around 12 kOe). An expl
anation of the remarkably enhanced coercivity was given with reference to t
he recombination in more complete form and finer grain size in the material
which was processed twice with HDDR.
