Abstract
The principal phase resulting from the reaction of Sm2Fe17 with zinc is a solution of Sm in Γ-Fe-Zn. At the maximum Sm content, this cubic phase with α=0.8984 nm has an approximate composition of (at.%) 5 Sm, 42 Fe, 53 Zn, and has no permanent magnetic moment between 4.2 and 600 K. The phase equilibria of the low-Sm alloys in Sm-Fe-Zn show that isostructural Sm2Fe17 and Sm2Zn17 are not miscible and that, because of the pervasiveness of equilibria with α-Fe, it will be difficult to eliminate α-Fe completely from Zn bonded magnets
