Nanocrystalline SmCo6.8Zr0.2 permanent magnets are prepared by intensive milling and subsequent annealing. XRD patterns of the samples annealed at 600 degrees C and 700 degrees C show a single SmCo7 phase with TbCu7 structure, while the SmCo7 phase decomposes into a mixture of Sm2Co17 and Co23Zr6 phase at higher annealing temperatures. The highest coercivity and energy product of about 2.06 T and 9.5MGOe are obtained in the sample annealed at 700 degrees C for 10 min. Further analysis reveals that a very strong inter-grain exchange coupling is observed in samples annealed at 700 degrees C for 3 (SZ-3) and 10 (SZ-10) min, indicating by the high remanence ratio and positive delta m in henkel-plot. It was supposed that the magnetization reversal process is controlled by domain wall pinning. (C) 2011 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
