The room-temperature coercivity, HC, and squareness, MR/MS (remanence/saturation magnetizations), of permanent magnet, SmCo5 powders have been enhanced by ball milling with antiferromagnetic NiO (with Néel temperature, TN=590 K). This enhancement is observed in the as-milled state. However, when the milling of SmCo5 is carried out with an antiferromagnet with TN below room temperature (e.g., for CoO, TN=290 K), the coercivity enhancement is only observed at low temperatures after field cooling through TN. The ferromagnetic–antiferromagnetic exchange coupling induced either by local heating during milling (SmCo5+NiO) or field cooling (SmCo5+CoO) is shown to be the origin of the HC increase.
