Abstract: The bulk nanocrystalline magnets of Nd8.5Fe65.5Ti2ZrNbB22-xNx(x=0—2, at%) in the rod form with 2 mm diameter were prepared by copper mold suction casting. The effects of nitrogen addition on the microstructure, room-temperature and high-temperature magnetic properties, and corrosion resistance of the samples were studied. It is shown that the N addition can refine the grains, inhibit the formation of Nd19Fe68B68 phase, and promote the formation of Nd2Fe14B permanent magnetic phase. Thus, the magnetic properties, thermal stability and corrosion resis-tance of the samples are significantly improved. The sample with x=1 exhibited the best room-temperature and high-temperature magnetic properties, and the best corrosion resistance. As compared to the sample with x=0, the intrinsic coercivity iHc, the remanence Br and the maximum energy product (BH)max of the sample with x=1 at room temperature increased by 70.6%, 14.6% and 100.0%, respectively. At the same time, in the temperature range of 25—180 ℃, the absolute values of the temperature coefficients α and β for the remanence and coercivity decrease by 36.1% and 19.7%, respectively. The flux irreversible loss in the temperature range of 25—250 ℃ increases from -30.8%/K for the sample with x=0 to -19.6%/K for the sample with x=1. Furthermore, as x increases from 0 to 1, the corrosion potential Ecorr increases from -0.979 V to -0.784 V, and the corrosion current density Icorr decreases from 1.054×10-4 A/cm2 to 1.736×10-5 A/cm2.
