Demagnetization of Nd2Fe14B, Pr2Fe14B, and Sm2Co17 Permanent Magnets in Spallation Irradiation Fields
Abstract
Prompted by the need for radiation-resistant permanent magnets for insertion devices (IDs) of high-brilliance next-generation synchrotrons such as the National Synchrotron Light Source II, the demagnetization of Nd2Fe14B and Pr2Fe14B was studied after exposure to a mixed irradiating field. Degradation and damage of the permanent magnetic material by components of electromagnetic showers induced in magnets by intense high-energy electron beams will alter the magnetic field structure of the IDs. Plate-like Nd2Fe14B magnets were irradiated to 1.8 Grad dose and were evaluated against Pr2Fe14B magnets irradiated to a lower dose of 20 Mrad. In addition, annular Sm2Co17 and Nd2Fe14B magnets integrated within a ferrofluidic feedthrough (FFFT) rotary seal were also irradiated to dose levels of 2 Grad for Sm2Co17 and 20 Mrad for Nd2Fe14B. Post-irradiation measurements of the magnetic intensity revealed that severe demagnetization exceeding 85% occurs in Nd2Fe14B magnets after only 50 Mrad dose and over 87% for Pr2Fe14B after 10 Mrad dose. The annular-shaped Sm2Co17 magnets of the FFFTs were almost insensitive to irradiation up to a dose of 2 Grad. Annular-shaped Nd2Fe14B magnets also showed resistance to demagnetization, a direct consequence of the annular shape which is characterized by the removal of the stronger demagnetizing field present atmore »
