Abstract

Currently, MnBi magnetic material is promising to be very potential for low-cost high-temperature permanent magnetic applications. The most attractive parameters are the high magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy and its positive thermal coefficient which allow a high coercivity of MnBi magnets working even at 150 – 200 oC. This advantage is paid by the moderate value of magnetization, so the high energy product of MnBi magnets depends on how one can keep a good balance between the remanent magnetization Mr and the coercivity bHc. The paper considers this problem and discusses how to regulate the processing route to keep this balance to enhance the performance of MnBi green powders and MnBi bulk magnets prepared thereof

Keywords: Magnetization, coercivity, balance between magnetization and coercivity, energy product
