Effect of Texture on the Width of Domains in Sintered Magnets (PrDy)(FeCo)B and (NdDy)(FeCo)B

Аннотация

We analyzed magnetic force microscopy images of the surface of samples cut parallel and perpendicular to the texture created by applying a field in the process of pressing a magnet. The distribution of the linear size (width) of the domains correlates with the distribution of the projection area of grains onto the shear plane in sintered (PrDy)(FeCo)B magnets with radial magnetization and in prismatic (NdDy)(FeCo)B magnets. The effects of grain size and direction of the axes of easy magnetization of grains on the width of the domains, as the main factors controlling the domain structure, are discussed.
