Mechanical Milling Of Co-Rich Melt-Spun Sm-Co Alloys, Farhad Reza Golkar-Fard

Department of Engineering Mechanics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

MECHANICAL MILLING OF CO-RICH MELT-SPUN SM-CO ALLOYS Farhad Reza Golkar-Fard, M.S UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, 2010 Advisor: Jeffrey E. Shield Rare-earth, high-energy permanent magnets are currently the best performing permanent magnets used today. The discovery of single domain magnetism in 1950’s ultimately led to the development of nanocomposite magnets which had superior magnetic properties. Previous work has shown that mechanical milling (MM) effectively generates nanoscale structures in Sm-Co-based alloys. MM of more Co-rich, melt-spun Sm-Co alloys (up to the eutectic composition) and the role of initial structure on the milling behavior were investigated.

Sm-Co alloys with compositions of Sm10.5Co …
