Standard high performance permanent-magnet materials are based on rare-earth element – 3d metal compounds such as Nd-Fe-B and Sm-Co. To increase sustainability of these magnets, a reduction of the rare-earth element content could be one target. For instance, exchange spring magnets could be a reasonable solution to this task. In this class of materials the exchange interaction of a hard- and a soft-magnetic phase leads to a simultaneously high remanence and high coercivity, although only a relatively small fraction of the hard-magnetic material is present.
A rare-earth lean Nd-Fe-B related material is commercially available as gas-atomized powder: MQP-S. The production of magnets based on this powder will be shown for different routes (Polymer bonding, 3D printing, hot compaction), and the respective stabilities of the exchange coupling behavior and coercivity will be discussed. Advanced characterization of magnetic properties as well as detailed microstructural investigations will be presented.
