Investigation on magnetic properties of orientated nanocomposite Pr2Fe14B/α-Fe permanent magnets by micromagnetic finite-element method

► The magnetic properties of nanocomposite Pr2Fe14B/α-Fe permanent magnets with different hard grains alignment are investigated by micromagnetic finite-element method. ► The calculated results show that both remanence and coercivity increase with improving hard grains alignment. ► Highly ordered orientation of hard phase is the critical factor to improve the properties of nanocomposites.
