The grain boundary diffusion process (GBDP) has become an important technique in improving the coercivity and thermal stability of Dy-free sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets. The influence of DyAlGa and (PrDy)AlGa alloys by the GBDP on sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets are investigated in this paper. After diffusing DyAlGa and (PrDy)AlGa alloys, the coercivity () of the magnets increased from 13.58 kOe to 20.10 kOe and 18.11 kOe, respectively. Meanwhile, the remanence of the magnets decreased slightly. The thermal stability of the diffused magnets was improved by the GBDP. The microstructure shows continuous Rare-earth-rich (RE-rich) grain boundary phases and (Dy, Pr/Nd)FeB core-shell structures which contribute to improving the coercivity. Moreover, the Dy concentration on the surface of the (PrDy)AlGa diffused magnets decreased with the Pr substitution for the Dy element. The openness of the recoil loops for the (PrDy)AlGa diffused magnets is smaller than that of the original magnets and DyAlGa diffused magnets. The results show that the (PrDy)AlGa alloys can effectively optimize the microstructure and improve the magnetic properties and thermal stability of the sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets.

This study investigates the influence of a magnetic field on the microstructure and properties of AlO-Ni composites fabricated via centrifugal slip casting at 1500 rpm. AlO and Ni powders were combined with water and deflocculants, homogenized, and then cast into a porous plaster mold surrounded by Nd-Fe-B magnets. The resulting composites, sintered in a reducing atmosphere, exhibited a three-zone structure with varying Ni content due to the combined effects of the magnetic field and centrifugal force.

The green transition initiatives and exploitation of renewable energy sources require the sustainable development of rare earth (RE)-based permanent magnets prominent technologies like wind turbine generators and electric vehicles. The recycling of RE-based permanent magnets is necessary for the future supply of critical rare-earth elements. The short-loop recycling strategies to directly reprocess Nd-Fe-B magnet waste are economically attractive and practical alternatives to conventional hydro- and pyrometallurgical processes.

High-performance Nd-Fe-B-based rare-earth permanent magnets play a crucial role in the application of traction motors equipped in new energy automobiles. In particular, the anisotropic hot-deformed (HD) Nd-Fe-B magnets prepared by the hot-press and hot-deformation process show great potential in achieving high coercivity due to their fine grain sizes of 200-400 nm, which are smaller by more than an order of magnitude compared to the traditional sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets. However, the current available coercivity of HD magnets is not as high as expected according to an empirical correlation between coercivity and grain size, only occupying about 25% of its full potential of the anisotropy field of the NdFeB phase.
