Nd-Fe-B磁石用プロトタイプ熱力学データベースの構築

抄録

For the Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets, a prototype thermodynamic database of the 8-element system (Nd, Fe, B, Al, Co, Cu, Dy, Ga) was constructed based on literature data and assessed parameters in the present work. The magnetic excess Gibbs energy of the Nd₂Fe₁₄B compound was reassessed using thoroughly measured heat capacity data. The Dy-Nd binary system was reassessed based on formation energies estimated from ab initio calculations. The constructed database was applied successfully for estimations of phase equilibria during the grain boundary diffusion processes (GBDP) and the reactions in the hydrogenation decomposition desorption recombination (HDDR) processes.
