  • Abstract
    Plasma pressure consolidation (PPC) was used to synthesize exchange coupled composite magnets. The magnets were processed from a mixture of micrometer-size, anisotropic magnetically hard SmCo5 and nanometer size magnetically soft Fe particles. High density magnets were obtained by PPC at a temperature as low as 760°C. The compacted SmCo5/α-Fe composite showed single-phase magnetic behavior.
