Abstract
The effects of vanadium substitution on the magnetic properties of Sm-Fe-Ti-V melt-spun ribbons and the magnetic properties and microstructure of sintered Sm-Fe-Ti based magnets are reported. The highest coercivity, Hc =10.65 kOe, was obtained in a heat-treated melt-spun Sm8 Fe75.5 Ga0.5 Ti8 V8 alloy. This is the highest value of the coercivities reported in alloys with the ThMn12 -type structure. Bulk magnets were prepared by the usual powder metallurgy technique. However, their highest coercivity (~2 kOe) was much less than that of the corresponding ribbons. The low coercivity of sintered magnets has been attributed to their nonuniform microstructure.
