Disponível em: http://repositorio.ipen.br/handle/123456789/4944.0304-8853http://repositorio.ipen.br/handle/123456789/4944An alternative method for determining the degree of crystallographic alignment (〈cos Θ〉) of the magnetic Pr2Fe14B phase (Φ) is proposed. The method is based on the relative X-ray diffracted intensities of the Φ planes of sintered magnets with and without texture. The degree of crystallographic alignment is also determined by X-ray pole figures using the (0 0 4) reflection and considered as a standard reference for comparison. The method is applied to Pr16Fe76B8 magnets with 0.51≤〈cos Θ〉≤0.97. The difference between the crystallographic alignments determined by these two methods is 3% within the experimental error. The advantages and limitations of using X-ray diffraction patterns to quantitatively evaluate the texture of sintered magnets are also discussed.e40-e42openAccessboron alloyscrystallographyiron alloysmagnetspraseodymium alloyssintered materialsstandardstexturex radiationx-ray diffractionArtigo de periódico1432010.1016/j.jmmm.2008.02.012https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6444-9224
