| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is known that the refinement of particle size is effective in improving coercivity of Sm-Fe-N magnet powder. By contrast, it is also known that high coercivity can be obtained by overnitridation that introduces a unique microstructure made of amorphous and nanocrystalline cells. This highly coercive magnet powder unfortunately becomes isotropic and exhibits poor squareness, which has been ascribed to the random crystallographic orientations of the cells. In this study, detailed multi-scale electron microscopy was peformed to clarify the formation mechanism of those fine microstructure. The results demonstrated that the mcirostructure inside a particle is highly heterogeneous, and that the orientations of the nanocrystalline cells are aligned meaning that the statement that the cells rotate during overnitridation seems to be wrong. To improve the property and squareness, it would be effective to improve the homogeneity in microstructure inside the individual overnitrided particles.
