Abstract
Containerless solidification of gas-atomized Nd<sub>10</sub>Fe<sub>85</sub>B<sub>5</sub> melt droplets was carried out using the drop tube technique. The phase constituents and microstructure of the solidified samples were investigated by means of powder X-ray diffraction analysis, thermomagnetic analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. Besides <font face="symbol">g</font>-Fe and Nd<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>14</sub>B, non-equilibrium phases such as Nd<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>17</sub>B<sub>x</sub>, <font face="symbol">e</font>-Nd, and Nd<sub>1.1</sub>Fe<sub>4</sub>B<sub>4</sub> were identified. The microstructure of the samples was categorized into three types, including a quasi-single phase one that consists mainly of Nd<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>17</sub>B<sub>x</sub> dendrites. The lattice parameters and Curie temperature of Nd<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>17</sub>B<sub>x</sub> were determined, and compared with those of the same type phase crystallized in Nd-rich Nd-Fe-B melt compositions. The results were discussed with respect to the stoichiometry, formation as well as potential applications of Nd<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>17</sub>B<sub>x</sub>.
