Abstract

In this study, the hydrogen absorption and desorption behaviour of Nd-Fe-B type alloys with the addition of Co and Ga, and hydrogen pressure was investigated. The starting temperature of hydrogen absorption into Nd-rich and Nd₂Fe₁₄B phases is shifted to higher temperature by the addition of Co and Ga. The most distinct effect of Co and Ga additions on hydrogen absorption and desorption behaviour in Nd-Fe-B type alloys is the lowering of the occurring temperature of the recombination reaction. The initial hydrogen pressure also affects the hydrogen absorption and desorption behaviour. The disproportionation reaction which occurred was sluggish at low hydrogen pressure and the occurring temperature of the recombination reaction is lowered by decreasing the initial hydrogen pressure
