Abstract
Pr0.8 Sm0.2 Co5 magnets doped with Cr2 O3 have displayed high coercivity similar to SmCo5 . Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction and x-ray microanalysis of a doped magnet showed absence of grains with high density basal stacking faults identified as (Pr,Sm)2 Co7 and (Pr,Sm)5 Co19 whereas microprecipitates of (Pr,Sm)2 O3 and CaO were located within the 1-5 grains and near grain boundaries, respectively. The resultant coercivity increase is explained by a model based on the nucleation of reversed domains. Grains with a high density of martensitic transformation twins which occasionally occur in (Pr,Sm)Co5 magnets were identified as (Pr,Sm)Co2 .
