This paper demonstrates the advantages of sm-fe-n magnets in magnetic applications, suggesting they can rival neodymium-iron-boron magnets in performance.
High-performance but expensive neodymium-iron-boron (Nd-Fe-B) magnets are widely used in automotive and electrical applications. Prospective candidates for rare-earth-free magnets include Fe-based magnets such as L10-FeNi and α″-Fe16N2 phase. However, these rare-earth-free magnets cannot replace Nd-Fe-B magnets due to their lower coercivity. Thus, the development of Sm-based magnets, using the relatively abundant rare-earth element Sm, has become a focus of attention. A promising, cheaper alternative with excellent magnetic properties is the Samarium-iron-nitride (Sm-Fe-N) magnet. This paper describes the production and magnetic properties of Sm-Fe-N powders with Th2Zn17 and TbCu7 phases. The production process and magnetic properties of Sm-Fe-N bonded magnets prepared from the powders are also described. Current approaches for producing Sm-Fe-N sintered magnets are included.
