Abstract

Sintered, precipitation hardened SmCo 2:17 magnets contain a multiphase microstructure. Our electron microscopic investigations reveal that the size of the rhombic, cellular precipitation structure and the formation of cell interior and cell boundary phases is determined by the nominal composition of the alloy and the postsintering heat treatment conditions and primarily control the intrinsic coercivity of the magnet. Selected area electron diffraction together with high resolution electron microscopy showed a high density of basal stacking faults (microtwinning) of the cell interior phase of low coercivity (iHc < 700 kA/m) magnets with a (c/a)*- ratio of the basic structural unit of > 0.843. High coercivity magnets (iHc>) 1000 kA/m), containing a high density of the platelet phase perpendicular to the c-axis, exhibit cell diameters up to 200 nm with a (c/a)*-ratio of the basic structural unit of the cell interior phase of < 0.843.
