Funded Activity Summary

Giant magnetic hardening in flash-annealed nanocomposite magnets. One of the most important properties required for permanent magnets is the coercivity. Recent results from an international collaboration between the Chief Investigator and researchers from the Japanese materials industry have shown that rapid heating can enhance the coercivity of chromium-added iron-neodymium-boron-based nanocomposite magnets by 30 times. The aim of this project is to clarify the mechanism of this giant magnetic hardening effect and thereby establish a basis for further development of economically viable nanocomposite magnets with low neodymium content. Our novel flash-annealing process will allow exploration of new nanocomposite alloys, which may lead to Australian-owned patents.
