Abstract

Sm(Co,Cu,Fe,Zr)z 2:17 based permanent magnets have the highest Curie temperature and the most excellent temperature stability among the current rare-earth permanent magnets. in recent years, the Sm(Co,Cu,Fe,Zr)z magnets have attracted again considerable attention due to the demand of the Department of Defense for high temperature applications such as aircraft, spacecraft and ship systems. Our recent studies have led to the development of new precipitation hardened Sm(Co,Fe,Cu,Zr)z magnets with operating temperatures above 400°C and with coercivities as high as 10 kOe at 500°C. The microstructure of the Sm(Co,Cu,Fe,Zr)z high temperature magnets consists of a cellular structure (2:17 rhomobohedral cells surrounded by 1:5 hexagonal cell walls) superimposed on a lamella phase (2:17 hexagonal). This microstructure is sensitive to processing and to the alloy chemical composition. Magnetic domain structure studies play a critical role in understanding the magnetic hardening behavior of the magnets. in this paper, HREM and magnetic domain structure were studied in these Sm(Co,Cu,Fe,Zr) high temperature permanent magnets.
