The double hard magnetic phase magnets with nominal compositions of Nd30–xDyxFe69B1（x=2, and 4）（wt.%） were prepared. The magnetic properties of the magnets were measured with a NIM-2000H hysteresigraph. The crystalline structures of the magnets were identified by X-ray diffraction（XRD）. The Rietveld refinement was carried out using the FULLPROF software. The scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and transmission electron microscopy（TEM） analyses were carried out in order to investigate the microstructure of the magnets. It showed that the magnets consisted mainly of Nd2Fe14 B phase, and some Nd-rich phase. Two types of matrix-phase grains in dark grey and light grey were found in the magnets with x=2 and 4. The Dy content was obviously different in the two types of grains, which proved that the double hard magnetic phases（Dy-rich and Dy-lean phases） coexisted in the magnet. It revealed that the Nd-rich phases in junction regions had fcc structure, with the unit cell parameter of about 0.52–0.56 nm. The weak superlattice spots were found in the SAD patterns of the junction Nd-rich phases with large scale. The double hard magnetic phase structure seemed to improve the magnetic properties of NdFeB magnets with high coercivity, while decrease the consumption of Dy element, compared with the single alloy magnet.
In this paper, the magnetic Nd-Fe-B particles of different sizes were conducted under vacuum by the hot pressing, then cooled quickly to room temperature. Finally hot deformation was performed to get the anisotropy Nd-Fe- B magnet at a deformation rate of 70 % in the protection of argon atmosphere. NIM-2000 was used for the measurement of hysteresis loop of the samples. Meanwhile, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） was used to observe the surface morphology of the magnetic particles with different sizes and hot-deformed magnets, energy spectrum analyzer to analyze the composition of magnetic particles. The effect of magnetic particle sizes on the microstructure and magnetic properties of the hot-deformed anisotropic magnet was investigated. Anisotropic hot-deformed magnets produced from the maximum particle size of 200-350 μm have the highest magnetic properties of Br = 1.465 T, Hcj = 1,157 kA.m-1, （Bn）max = 425 kJ.m-3.

The relationship between the microstructure and magnetic properties of Nd-Fe-B sintered magnet compressed by shock wave with 6.26 GPa≤p≤7.16 GPa was investigated.It reveals that Nd-Fe-B magnets show a demagnetization behavior after compressed by shock wave.The intergranular fracture is the main occurring phe-nomenon in the shock wave-compressed magnets.The coercivity of the shock wave-compressed Nd-Fe-B magnets could be recovered after repeating the annealing process.It suggests that only the morphology change just like the intergranular fracture occurs,and there is no structural change in the grain boundary phase in the shock wave-compressed magnet.Matrix phase grain interconnection,microcracks and pores,and alterant orientation relationship between matrix phase and grain boundaries phase are con-sidered as induced factors of demagnetization.
