High-strength magnetic hard alloys are of scientific and practical interest, primarily due to good manufacturing processability, corrosion resistance, high level and temperature stability of magnetic properties that provide the required performance characteristics of hysteresis magnets. Scientists have shown the possibility of controlled variation and reproducibility of the magnetic properties of the powder alloy. In addition, they determined the behavior of the main magnetic characteristics for 9 months.
Graduate student of the Department “Metal Science, Thermal and Laser Processing of Metals” Maria Marieva said that the methods of powder metallurgy had a number of disadvantages, such as closed porosity, concentration heterogeneity of the alloys obtained and, consequently, reduced magnetic properties compared with compact analogues obtained by casting and plastic deformation. Therefore, during the study, blanks obtained by cold pressing at a pressure of 600 megapascals with subsequent sintering in vacuum were used.
According to scientists, the chemical composition of the obtained blanks in a highly coercive state was determined by the method of micro-X-ray spectral analysis on the Tescan Mira 3 electron microscope.
Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor of the Department “Metal Science, Thermal and Laser Processing of Metals” Alexander Shatov said that during the study, a small influence of the aging temperature on the morphology and size of the magnetic phase has been found. Significant changes in properties were caused by changes in the chemical composition of the phases. At the same time, the magnetic induction has remained unchanged.
Further excerpts up to 9 months also did not lead to a significant decrease in this rate.
The technology will be used in devices, algorithms and software that allow the orientation of an object in space.
