Abstract
Several authors have reported successful fabrication of high‐energy‐product (20 MG Oe) Co5R‐type cobalt‐samarium permanent magnets. In earlier papers we have described preparation of such magnets by a liquid‐phase sintering process sequence which includes powder preparation, magnetic alignment, pressing, sintering, and magnetizing. We have also described preparation of ternary compositions, primarily Co–Sm–Pr, by this process. In an effort to utilize more abundant rare‐earth metals, the cobalt‐mischmetal‐samarium system has been studied. Initial results indicate that a substantial fraction of the samarium may be replaced with mischmetal while retaining high magnetic properties (BHmax=20 MG Oe).
