ResultsIn Figure 1, we show the XRD patterns of amorphous Nd 5 Fe 77-x Cr x B 18 (x= 0, 3 and 5) after annealing at 953 K for 0.6 ks. The amorphous samples were heated at two different rates (α) of 0.042 K/s and 1.33 K/s. Both XRD patterns of Cr-free Nd 5 Fe 77 B 18 show reflections from Nd 2 Fe 23 B 3, tetragonal-Fe 3 B, α-Fe and NdFe 4 B 4 phases, indicating that the influence of heating rate on the crystallization products is insignificant for the Cr-free alloy. It has been confirmed in our previous study [5] that the formation of α-Fe and NdFe 4 B 4 in this alloy is due to the decomposition of the metastable Fe 3 B and Nd 2 Fe 23 B 3 phases and hence, amorphous Nd 5 Fe 77 B 18 appears to crystallize into a mixture of Fe 3 B and Nd 2 Fe 23 B 3 at α= 0.042–1.33 K/s. The reflections from the same constituent phases are evident in the diffraction pattern obtained from the Nd 5 Fe 74 Cr 3 B 18 sample heated at α= 0.042 K/s and reflections from magnetically hard Nd 2 Fe 14 B cannot be seen in this diffraction pattern. However, the diffraction pattern of the same alloy changes clearly with increasing heating rate from 0.042 to 1.33 K/s; reflections from Nd 2 Fe 14 B appear and those of Nd 2 Fe 23 B 3 or NdFe 4 B 4 disappear completely in the diffraction pattern for the Nd 5 Fe 74 Cr 3 B 18 sample heated at α= 1.33 K/s. This result indicates that the crystallization process of the precursor amorphous phase in this alloy changes dramatically with increasing heating rate and rapid heating favours the formation of magnetically hard Nd 2 Fe 14 B. On the other hand, the formation of a mixture of Fe 3 B and Nd 2 Fe 14 B is confirmed in the XRD patterns of Nd 5 Fe 72 B 18 Cr 5 regardless of heating rate, showing that the phase constituent after crystallization is again independent of heating rate for the x= 5 alloy.
