Abstract

Mechanical alloying of ternary SmFe11−xCoxTi (x = 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2) alloys was carried out under an Ar atmosphere. Milled samples were annealed for 30 min in a vacuum at different temperatures Ta from 650 °C to 1150 °C. The effects of heat treatment, on structure and magnetic property changes, have been investigated by means of x-ray diffraction using the Rietveld method, Mössbauer spectroscopy and differential sample magnetometer. Tetragonal ThMn12-type structure is observed for samples annealed at Ta > 900 °C. For 650<Ta<800 °C the TbCu7 type phase was identified as the major phase. Between these two regions a mixture of TbCu7 and ThMn12-type nanocrystalline phases is obtained with a maximum of the coercive field Hc (Hc > 5kOe). The Mössbauer spectra relative to the hexagonal phase show sextuplets broadened by the statistical occupancies of the iron sites. An enhancement of the magnetic properties results from the Co substitution.
