Description
(Fe<sub>0.7</sub>Co<sub>0.3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>B are potential permanent magnets material due to its large saturation magnetization and high Curie temperature. However, it has moderate magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) and low coercivity. One way to improve its coercivity is to combine the contributions from magnetocrystalline- and magnetic-shape anisotropy by preparing (Fe<sub>0.7</sub>Co<sub>0.3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>B nanowires. We study the effects of size, morphology, and surface defects on the hard magnetic properties of nanowires using micromagnetic simulation. The hard magnetic properties of (Fe<sub>0.7</sub>Co<sub>0.3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>B nanowire-bonded magnets are estimated, including the role of inter-wire magnetostatic interaction. By considering the existence of local reductions in MCA energy of up to 30% on the surface layer of nanowires, the anisotropic bonded magnet with a 65% vol. of (Fe<sub>0.7</sub>Co<sub>0.3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>B nanowires would have typical remanence, B<sub>r</sub>= 7.6–8.4 kG, coercivity, H<sub>ci</sub>= 9.6–9.9 kOe, and maximum energy product, (BH)<sub>m</sub> = 14–17.8 MGOe. Developing effective technology for synthesizing nanowires and fabricating corresponding bonded magnets is promising for manufacturing practical magnets based on the magnetic phase with a relatively low or moderate MCA, such as (Fe<sub>0.7</sub>Co<sub>0.3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>B..
