The study on preparing alpha ''-Fe16N2 powders through gas atomization method successfully controlled the morphology and magnetic properties of the powders, and obtained powder samples with industrial application potential.
alpha ''-Fe16N2 materials are of increasing interest for their applications in products such as rare earth-free permanent magnets. The lack of a method of mass production for powders as raw materials delays the preparation of such magnets. Through employing the gas atomization method, we managed to prepare alpha ''-Fe16N2 powders whose morphology and magnetic properties were tailored by the preparation parameters. As a result of optimizing the preparation parameters (ejection temperature and pressure, ejection nozzle diameter, and atomization pressure), we managed to prepare powders with a size of about 30 mu m and a content of 31% alpha ''-Fe16N2 phase. The value of the saturation magnetization (234.8 emu/g), the reasonable coercivity value (970 Oe) presented by the prepared powders, and the opportunity of scaling up approaches based on the preparation of powders via gas atomization support the feasibility of preparing alpha ''-Fe16N2 powders at an industrial level.
