Abstract:
The effects of B content on the magnetic properties, corrosion resistance and microstructure of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnet containing Dy and Ga are studied in this work. As the B content increases from 0.88 wt% to 0.94 wt%, the intrinsic coercivity (Hcj) of magnet increases at first and then decreases. The Hcj exhibits a peak value of 22.19 kOe at 0.92 wt% B, accompanied by the remanence (Br) of 13.43 kGs and the maximum magnetic energy product (BH)max of 43.83 MGOe. When the B content is 0.92 wt%, the grain boundary phase (GBP) between the main phase grains simultaneously attains the widest width and the lowest Fe content, which effectively improves the demagnetization exchange coupling between the adjacent grains. Meanwhile, the RE6Fe13Ga and Ia3-RE2O3 phases in this magnet exhibit a small lattice misfit with adjacent main phase, which helps to reduce the nucleation of reverse domains at the GBs. The corrosion resistance of magnet can be enhanced by increasing the B content, as evidenced by the elevation in open circuit potential, the decrease in corrosion current density, and the increase in charge transfer resistance in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The magnet with 0.94 wt% B exhibits optimal corrosion resistance. By optimizing the B content in sintered Nd-Fe-B magnet with 1.8 wt% Dy and 0.5 wt% Ga, an intrinsic coercivity comparable to that of magnets containing 3–5 wt% Dy and 0.91–0.98 wt% B can be achieved, while the corrosion resistance is also enhanced to a level comparable to that of magnets containing 6–7 wt% Dy and 1 wt% B. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
