This study examined the feasibility of the combining HDDR-process (hydrogenation, disproportionation, desorption and recombination) with mechanical milling to prepare single domain $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ particles from a Nd-Fe-B alloy ingot. The $Nd_{15}Fe_{77}B_8$ alloy was HDDR-treated and then subjected to a roller-milling. In the HDDR-treated $Nd_{15}Fe_{77}B_8$ alloy, very small $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ grains comparable to their critical single domain size(0.3 ${\mu}m$) were observed. These fine individual grains were separated successfully along the grain boundaries by a roller-milling. The separated $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ grains were found to be single domain particles. These results suggest that single domain particles of the $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ phase can be prepared from a Nd-Fe-B ingot alloy by combining a HDDR-process with mechanical milling.

Phase evolution during the hydrogen-assisted disproportionation of $Nd_{12.5}Fe_{80.6}B_{6.4}Ga_{0.3}Nb_{0.2}$ alloy was investigated mainly by using a magnetic balance-type thermomagnetic analyser (TMA). In order to avoid any undesirable phase change in the course of heating for TMA, a swift TMA technique with very high heating rate (around 2 min to reach $800^{\circ}C$ from room temperature) was adopted. The hydrided $Nd_{12.5}Fe_{80.6}B_{6.4}Ga_{0.3}Nb_{0.2}$ alloy started to be disproportionated in hydrogen from around $600^{\circ}C$, and the alloy after the early disproportionation (from 600 to $660^{\circ}C$) has been partially disproportionated. The partially disproportionated alloy consisted of a mixture of $NdH_x$, $Fe_3B$, ${\alpha}$-Fe, and the remaining undisproportionated $Nd_2Fe_{14}BH_x$-phase. During the subsequent heating to $800^{\circ}C$ in hydrogen, two additional phases of $Fe_{23}B_6$ and $Fe_2B$ were formed, and the material consisted of a mixture of $NdH_x$, $Fe_{23}B_6$, $Fe_3B$, $Fe_2B$, and ${\alpha}$-Fe phases. During the subsequent isothermal holding at $800^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour, the phase constitution was further changed, and one additional unknown magnetic phase was formed. Eventually, the fully disproportionated $Nd_{12.5}Fe_{80.6}B_{6.4}Ga_{0.3}Nb_{0.2}$ alloy consisted of $NdH_x$, $Fe_{23}B_6$, $Fe_3B$, $Fe_2B$, ${\alpha}$-Fe, and one additional unknown magnetic phase.

급속냉각기술로 제조된 $Nd_{14}Fe_{76}Co_{4}B_{6}$ 및 $Nd_{10.5}Fe_{79}Co_{2}Zr_{15}B_{7}$ 자성분말을 사용하여 성형체와 본드자석을 제조하였다. 자기특성, 최적충진률 등의 분말입도 및 형상비에 따른 거동은 합금조성에 따라 달리 나타난다. Co/Fe 비가 작은 저밀도의 $Nd_{10.5}Fe_{79}Co_{2}Zr_{1.5}B_{7}$ 합금이 같은 성형압력에서 성형체의 성형밀도 및 최적충진률이 높아 자기특성이 우수하였으나 반면에 분말입도에 따라 자기특성이 변화하였다. 성형밀도(p)와 성형압력(P) 사이 에는 ${\phi}(g/cm^{2})=5.2~5.6{\times}P^{0.045~0.065}(ton/cm^{2})$의 관계식이 성립된다. 높은 Nd/Fe 비를 갖는 급속냉각된 $Nd_{14}Fe_{76}Co_{4}B_{6}$ 합금의 초미세립(50~60 nm)으로써 높은 보자력($iH_{c}=14~15kOe$)을 보유하나, Nd/Fe비가 낮은 $Nd_{10.5}Fe_{79}Co_{2}Zr_{1.5}B_{7}$ 합금은 결정립이 조대하고(150~400 nm)Nd-rich한 입경계상의 발달이 부진하여 자벽고착기구가 주 보자력 기구 로 판명된 두 합금에서 고착지점으로서의 역할이 불충분하여 보자력이 낮은 것으로 판명되었다.

Effects of the disproportionating hydrogen pressure and alloy composition on the texture in the HDDR-treated Nd-Fe-B particles were examined using the $Nd_{12.6}Fe_{81.4}B_6$ and $Nd_{12.6}Fe_{68.7}B_6Co_{11.0}Ga_{1.0}Zr_{0.l}$ alloys. Disproportionation kinetics of the $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ phase in the Nd-Fe-B alloy was retarded significantly by the addition of Co, Ga and Zr. The retarded disproportionation kinetics of the $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ phase ensured a wider processing win­dow in terms of disproportionating hydrogen pressure for achieving a texture in the HDDR-treated Nd-Fe-B alloy particles.

The HDDR characteristics of the Nd-Fe-B-type isotropic and anisotropic HDDR alloys were investigated using three types of alloys: alloy A $(Nd_{12.6}Fe_{81.4}B_6), alloy B (Nd_{12.6}Fe_{81.3}B_6Zr_{0.1}), and alloy C (Nd_{12.6}Fe_{68.8}Co_{11.5}B_6Ga_{1.0}Zr_{0.1}$). The alloy A is featured with the isotropic HDDR character, while alloy B and C are featured with the anisotropic HDDR character. Hydrogenation and disproportionation characteristics of the alloys were examined using DTA under hydrogen gas. Recombination characteristics of the alloys were examined by observing the coercivity variation as a function of recombination time. The present study revealed that the alloy C exhibits slightly higher hydrogenation and disproportionation temperatures compared to the alloy A and B. Recombination of the anisotropic alloy B and C takes place more rapidly with respect to the isotropic alloy A. The intrinsic coercivities of the recombined materials rapidly increased with increasing the recombination time and then showed a peak, after which the coercivities decreased gradually. The degraded coercivity was, however, recovered significantly on prolonged recombination treatment. Compared with the isotropic HDDR alloy A the anisotropic HDDR alloy B and C are notable for their greater recovery of coercivity. The significant recovery of coercivity was accounted for the in terms of the development of well-defined smooth grain boundary between the recombined grains on prolonged recombination.

A solid-HDDR characteristics of the Nd-Fe-B-type alloys magnetic properties of the solid-HDDR treated materials have been investigated using three types of alloys; $Nd_{15}Fe_{77}B_8 (alloy A), Nd_{16}Fe_{75.9}B_8Zr_{0.1}(alloy B), and Nd_{12.6}Fe_{68.7}Co_{11.6}B_8Ga_{1.0}Zr_{0.1} $(alloy C). It has been found that the four-components alloy B and six-components alloy C have showed higher hydrogenation temperatures than the ternary alloy A. The alloys A and B appeared to absorb more hydrogen gas more rapidly as well compared to the alloy C. The disproportionation temperature of hydrogenated materials was exhibited no significant difference among the alloys. The thermal stability of the hydrided materials of the three types of alloys was found to become more stable in order of number of components. The disproportionation and the recombination kinetics were significantly sluggish in the solid-HDDR manner with respect to the conventional manner. Some degree of anisotropic nature was found to exist in the ingot and this anisotropic nature was retained even after the solid-HDDR treatment. It was suggested the solid-HDDR treatment may possibly be used for a preparation of an isotropic or anisotropic Nd-Fe-B-type cast magnets.

$\alpha$-Fe를 주상으로 하는 새로운 Nd-Fe-B계 합금을 개발하기 위하여 Nd 함유량을 4at.%로 고정시킨 Nd-Fe-B 초미세결정립합금의 제조 및 자기특성이 조사되었다. 급속응고법으로 제조된 $Nd_{4}Fe_{85.5}B_{10.5}$ 비정질합금은 결정화하여 $\alpha$-Fe 기지상에 $Nd_{2}Fe_{14}B$이 형성되나 자기특성${_{i}H_{c}=95.5kA/m(1.2kOe),\;Br=1.2T}$은 열화된다. Nb 및 Cu를 첨가한 $Nd_{4}Fe_{82}B_{10}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}$ 합금은 $\alpha$-Fe 결정립미세화(<30nm)로 보자력이 207kA/m(2.6 kOe)로 증가하나 잔류자화는 개선되지 않았다. 이 합금조성에 8at.% Co 첨가는 결정립을 더욱 미세화시키며 자기특성을 개선 시킨다. 최적열처리조건에서 $Nd_{4}Fe_{74}Co_{8}B_{10}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}$ 합금의 잔류자화, 보자력 및 최대에너지적이 각각 1.34 T, 219 kA/m (2.75kOe) 및 $95.5kJ/m^{3}$(12MGOe) 이다.

The effect of Ga and, Nb addition on the kinetics and mechanism of the disproportionation of a Nd-Fe-B alloy were investigated by isothermal thermopiezic analysis (TPA) using $Nd_{12.5}Fe_{(81.1-(x+y))}B_{6.4}Ga_xNb_y$ (x=0 and 0.3, y= 0 and 0.2) alloys. The addition of Ga and Nb retarded the disproportionation kinetics of the Nd-Fe-B alloy significantly, and increased the activation energy of the disproportionation reaction. The disproportionation kinetics of the $Nd_{12.5}Fe_{(81.1-(x+y))}B_{6.4}Ga_xNb_y$ alloys measured under an initial hydrogen pressure of 0.02 MPa were fitted to a parabolic rate law. This suggested that during the disproportionation of $Nd_{12.5}Fe_{(81.1-(x+y))}B_{6.4}Ga_xNb_y$ alloys with an initial hydrogen pressure of 0.02 MPa, a continuous disproportionation product is formed and the overall reaction rate is limited by the diffusion of hydrogen atoms (or ions).
