摘要

Permanent magnets capable of reliably operating at high temperatures up to ～ 450 ℃ are required in advanced power systems for future aircrafts, vehicles, and ships. Those operating temperatures are far beyond the capability of Nd–Fe–B magnets. Possessing high Curie temperature, Sm–Co based magnets are still very important because of their high-temperature capability, excellent thermal stability, and better corrosion resistance. The extensive research performed around the year 2000 resulted in a new class of Sm2(Co, Fe, Cu, Zr)17-type magnets capable of operating at high temperatures up to 550 ℃. This paper gives a systematic review of the development of Sm–Co permanent magnets, from the crystal structures and phase diagrams to the intrinsic magnetic properties. An emphasis is placed on Sm2(Co, Fe, Cu, Zr)17-type magnets for operation at temperatures from 300 ℃ to 550 ℃. The thermal stability issues, including instantaneous temperature coefficients of magnetic properties, are discussed in detail. The significance of nanograin structure, nanocrystalline, and nanocomposite Sm–Co magnet materials, and prospects of future rare-earth permanent magnets are also given.
