Abstract
Residual hydrogen in the HDDR-treated Nd12.5Fe 80.6B6.4Ga0.3Nb0.2 powder and its effect on the coercivity of consolidated compact of the powder were investigated. Hydrogen desorption of the HDDR powder was studied by vacuum gauge and TPA. Compaction of the HDDR powder was performed by hot-pressing technique. The Nd12.5Fe80.6B6.4Ga0.3Nb 0.2 HDDR powder contained significant amount of residual hydrogen (approximately 1520 ppm). Coercivity of the hot-pressed compact was radically reduced when the compaction was performed at the temperature above 650°C. The radical coercivity reduction in the compact hot-pressed above 650°C was attributed to the presence of the soft magnetic phases, α -Fe and Fe 2B formed via disproportionation of the Nd2Fe 14BHx. The residual hydrogen may have contributed for the formation of Nd2Fe14BHx.
