Abstract

A high degree of texture was observed in melt-spun Sm(Co0.68Fe0.22Cu0.08Zr0.02)7.7 ribbons prepared by single-roller melt spinning at low wheel speed; their easy magnetization axis was parallel to the ribbon plane. Magnetization studies showed an obvious magnetic anisotropy and a 90% higher remanance in ribbons for the field parallel to the longitudinal direction (8.5 kGs) than that for the field parallel to the wide direction (4.4 kGs); this was attributed to a dendritic structure of needle-size grains (2–3 × 10–40 μm) with their long axis parallel to the ribbon plane. This texture allowed the development of a new process for producing anisotropic permanent magnets. The domain structure was studied by magnetic-force microscope. A highly ordered and strip-shaped magnetic domain structure was observed on the surface of the ribbons. This was due to the preference for tetragonal c-axis orientation parallel to the surface of melt-spun ribbons. We calculated the domain wall energy γ and critical single-domain particle size Dc of Sm(Co0.68Fe0.22Cu0.08Zr0.02)7.7 ribbons.
