In this paper, a process that develops texture in nanocrystalline permanent magnet alloys is presented. An originally isotropic material is passed through a high up-temperature gradient, inducing directional grain growth. Texture development by directional annealing of melt-spun Sm12Co88, (Sm12Co88)99Nb1, (Sm12Co88)99C1, and (Sm12Co88)98Nb1C1alloys was examined. Samples directionally annealed were compared with conventionally annealed samples. Strong (006) in-plane texture was observed by X-ray diffraction in Sm12Co88and (Sm12Co88)99Nb1alloys and the anisotropy was corroborated by magnetic measurements (magnetic texture ∼20–53%). Directional annealing produced only slight texture in the (Sm12Co88)99C1and (Sm12Co88)98Nb1C1alloys. The development of texture is critically dependent on annealing temperature, the up-temperature gradient, translational velocity, and alloy composition. The activation energy for anisotropic grain growth was estimated to be ∼28 and ∼42kJmol−1for Sm12Co88and (Sm12Co88)99Nb1, respectively. These results indicate that directional annealing as a route to texture development in nanocrystalline permanent magnet alloys is a feasible process.
