Effect of Preparing Conditions on the Phase Constitution and Magnetic Properties of Nd-Pr-Fe-Zr-B Alloy Ribbons

The aim of presented work was to study influence of preparing conditions on phase constitution and magnetic properties of the RE-Fe-B nanocomposite magnets doped with Zr. X-ray studies carried out for samples obtained under lower pressure of Ar atmosphere (0.6×10⁵ Pa) revealed higher ability to formation of nanocrystalline structure. In case of higher pressure of Ar (0.8×10⁵ Pa) it was possible to obtain full amorphous ribbon during melt-spinning process. The best magnetic properties (means the higher values of coercivity field $\text{}_{J}H_{c}$, remanence $J_{r}$ and maximum energy product $(BH)_{max})$ were measured for sample prepared with the lowest copper wheel speed 20 m/s and higher pressure of Ar (0.8×10⁵ Pa).
