Resumo

Abstract Mechanical milling of ferromagnetic SmCo5 produces dramatic increases in coercivity or short (15 minutes to 2 hours) milling times. The milled nanostructured material is highly metastable and undergoes room-temperature recovery during the first two weeks after fabrication. Although changes in the coercivity with ageing time are significant, the diffracting crystallite size determined from x-ray diffraction remains constant. We conclude that disorder is a primary determinant of the coercivity of mechanically milled alloys.
