Abstract
The effect of grain size and grain size distribution on magnetic properties of the sintered Nd 14Dy 1.5Fe 68.5-Co 5Al 1Cr 2.5B 7.5 permanent magnet was investigated. As the average grain size or the volume fraction of the large grains increased, the magnetic properties were reduced. The heterogeneous grain size distribution causes kink on the demagnetization curve. The effect of intrinsic coercivity $(_{\rm i}H_{\rm c})$ on the thermomagnetic properties was estimated by measuring $_{\rm i}H_{\rm c}$ and irreversible flux losses at elevated temperature.
