Abstract
Anisotropic SmCo5/Co nanocomposite powders have been prepared by electroless Co deposition on commercial SmCo5 powders with hydrazine as reducer. The Co particles are mainly in the range of 8–27 nm and form dense/continuous soft magnetic coatings on the surface of SmCo5 powders. Exchange coupling happened between the coated Co soft magnetic particles and the SmCo5 hard phase. As a result, SmCo5/Co nanocomposite powders with remanence of 73.58 emu/g and energy product of 13.74 MGOe were obtained in the optimum condition, as compared with those of 70.52 emu/g and 13.40 MGOe for uncoated SmCo5 powders. The effects of Co adding amount on Co particle size, coating morphology, and magnetic properties of SmCo5/Co products were investigated.
