  3. Introduction. What’s permanent magnet ? • Magnetic materials • Large Mr, high Hc • High (BH)max e.g: SmCo5 (1969), Sm2Co17, Nd2Fe14B (1983) B M • B = µ0(M+H)

  4. Applications of permanent magnets • Automobile industry. • Computer industry. • Scientific research. • Biomedical treatment. • and many other applications.

  5. Dental applications • Denture retention system • Soft magnetic: Pd-Co • Magnet: NdFeB (DYNA Dental Engineering B.V.) • Magnet problems • Very brittle • Low corrosion resistance • Aim: to find a magnet and a soft magnetic material with • Good mechanical properties • High corrosion resistance

  6. Introduction. Fe-Pt alloys • fcc - fct phase transition fcc • statistical distribution • high magnetisation fct • layer structure • high magnetic anisotropy • Good mechanical strength and high corrosion resistance

  7. Experimental Sample processing • Preparation FexPt100-x and (Fe0.6Pt0.4)100-xMx based alloys - Arc-melting the pure elements (3N) in Ar - Casting to cylinder, disc • Heat treatment: - Homogenisation (as-quenched sample): 1325C/1h, under Ar + quenching in water  fcc phase. - Ageing (aged sample): 500-700C + quench in water  fct phase.

  8. Analysis techniques Applied force Tensile strength: tensometer Magnetic properties: hysteresis-loop and … SANS Microstructure analysis: TEM ...

  9. Results. Crystallographic structure • Fe60Pt40 • As-quenched: presence of the fct phase. • Ageing: fcc-fct transformation.

  10. Permanent-magnet properties: FexPt100-x Optimal hard-magnetic properties for Fe60Pt40 aged at 625C, 1h: Br = 0.97 T, BHc = 294 kA/m, (BH)max = 118 kJ/m3

  11. Microstructure:Fe60Pt40 625°C, 1h: 2-5 nm as-quenched: 1-3 nm • Dark field image:  Fct particle size increases during the ageing.  Fct nano-size observed. • Selected area diffraction pattern:  Degree of atomic order increases during the ageing.

  12. Magnetic properties: (Fe0.6Pt0.4)100-xMx (M = Nb, Al) • 0.5% Nb aged at 625C, 24h: Br= 0.98 T, BHc= 302 kA/m, (BH)max= 125 kJ/m3 • 0.25% Al aged at 525C, 24h : Br= 1.02 T, BHc= 300 kA/m, (BH)max= 132 kJ/m3

  13. Thermomagnetic analysis: (Fe0.6Pt0.4)100-xMx • 0.5 at. % Nb: • Tc (as-quenched)  340C • Tc (aged)  400C • 0.25 at. % Al: • Tc (as-quenched)  380C • Tc (aged)  400C

  14. Temperature dependence: (Fe0.6Pt0.4)100-xMx • Nb:  = -0.04 %/K for Br,  = -0.12 %/K for BHc and = -0.12 %/K for (BH)max. • Al:  = -0.06 %/K for Br,  = -0.15 %/K for BHc and = -0.17 %/K for (BH)max.

  15. Mechanical properties: (Fe0.6Pt0.4)100-xNbx • Hardness • Tensile strength of 0.5% Nb

  18. Microstructure: (Fe0.6Pt0.4)99.75Al0.25 100 nm as-quenched: 2 nm 525°C, 24h: 3-7 nm • High coercivity: correlated with the magnetic anisotropy, i.e. the atomic order in the fcc/fct and fct grain growth. • High remanence: originated by the exchange coupling of the soft fcc phase with the nano-sized hard fct phase.

  19. What’s neutron and why SANS ? • Properties mn = 1.674710-24 g n = 9.6628610-27 J/T q = 0, 1/2 = 624 s • Interaction with matter - Scattering from the atomic nucleus - Magnetic scattering • SANS: Small angle neutron scattering -   10 Å  102 Å - Domain and particle size q = kf - ki I(q,) = A(q) + B(q)sin2(/2) nuclear scattering magnetic scattering

  21. Reduced SANS data: Fe59.7Pt39.8Nb0.5 As-quenched Aged • I(Q): difference in the virgin, field and remanent states • I(Q): difference for the as-quenched and aged samples

  22. SANS analysis • Model fitting: monodisperse or polydisperse model ? • Virgin state • Field state Particles Magnetic domains SANS dominated by randomly oriented magnetic domains: monodisperse model SANS dominated by particles with different magnetisation: polydisperse model

  23. Model fitting:Fe59.7Pt39.8Nb0.5 aged monodisperse Correlation length 105 nm 6 nm polydisperse • Mono.: domain size ~ 100 nm. • Poly.: fct particles R = 6 nm. (TEM: fct particles 3-8 nm)

Good thermal stabilisation. • Fe67Pt33: soft magnetic properties. • Good mechanical properties.  Suitable for biomedical applications, e.g. denture retention. • Coexistent nanostructure observed by TEM and SANS:  High coercivity: correlated with the atomic order in the fcc/fct structures and the fct grain growth.  High remanence: originated by the exchange coupling of the soft fcc phase with the nano-sized hard fct phase.
