The corrosion behavior of bonded NdFeB permanent magnet materials prod
uced by melt spinning with and without TiC additions has been investig
ated, Typical anodic polarization experiments in 0.9 M Na2SO4 showed t
hat the addition of 6 a/o TIC resulted in lower corrosion currents and
reduced iron dissolution at fixed potential. The role of hydrogen was
also investigated by means of galvanostatic charging and discharging
experiments (hydrogen absorption and desorption) in 6M KOH which showe
d that the addition of TIC resulted in a reduction of absorbed hydroge
n.
