•Magnetic properties of MnBi/Co(Fe65Co35) magnets were calculated.•Effect of deviation of orientation on the magnetic properties was discussed.•The anisotropy energy density are discussed during the demagnetization process.
Demagnetization curves of anisotropic nanocomposite MnBi/Co and MnBi/Fe65Co35 permanent magnets were investigated by micro-magnetic finite element method. Effects of volume ratio, deviation degree of orientation and intrinsic magnetic properties of the soft magnetic phase on the magnetic properties of the magnets were investigated. From the viewpoint of practical applications, to meet the requirement of hardness parameters, ĸ=K/(μ0MS2)1/2>1, the calculation maximum (BH)max of MnBi/Co and MnBi/Fe65Co35 magnets are about 199 kJ/m3 (V(Co)=22 vol%) and 196 kJ/m3 (V(FeCo)=14 vol%), respectively, indicating their good potential in application. Compared with single phase MnBi magnet, the (BH)max of nanocomposite MnBi/Co and MnBi/Fe65Co35 magnets increases by 66% and 63%, respectively. The remanence and coercivity of MnBi/Co nanocomposite magnets reduce as appearing a deviation degree of orientation, result of greatly decrease of the magnetic energy product.
