The results showed that Ce could refine grain size, decrease the fraction of eutectic β-Mg17A112 phase, form A14Ce phase and decrease solid solution of A1 in the α-Mg matrix, but the above behaviors of Ce would be weakened under higher solidification rate. The essential reason for Ce to affect as-cast microstructure was that the Ce and A1 concentrated in the liquid phase in front of solid/liquid interface during solidification because Ce itself is difficult to solid solute in α-Mg matrix and inhibits solid solution of AI in α-Mg matrix. However, the dynamic condition of concentration of Ce, A1 would be changed when solidifica- tion rate varied, resulting in different influence extents of Ce on as-cast microstructure under different solidification rates.展开更多

For Ce atomic percent of 1% and 2%, coercivity decreases dramatically. With further increase of Ce atomic percent, the coercivity increases, peaks at 6.38 kOe in（PrNd）_（11）Ce_4Fe_（77）B_8, and then declines gradually. The abnormal dependence of coercivity is likely related to the inhomogeneity of rare earth chemical composition in the intergranular phase, where Pr Nd concentration is strongly dependent on the additive amount of（PrNd）_5Ce_（10）Fe_（77）B_8 powders. In addition, for Ce atomic percent of 8%,7%, and 6% the coercivity is higher than that of magnets prepared by the conventional method, which shows the advantage of the dual alloy method in preparing high abundant rare earth magnets.展开更多
