The effect of HDDR (hydrogenation-decompositon-desorption recombination process) treating conditions on magnetic ani- sotropy of Nd13FebalCo10B7Ga1Zr0.1 powders has been studied. It is found that increasing recombination temperature is effective for magnetic anisotropy formation, but at the cost of reducing the coercive force. The microstfucture analysis (TEM) indicates that the NdFeB recombination nucleation takes place markedly during the transition range from decomposition stage to recombination stage, in which both temperature and H2 pressure change sharply. In order to create a more stable treatment condition for recombination nucleation, a modified HDDR process is established in which the conventional continuous transition range is divided into several stages. The experi- mental results have proved that such a process can effectively enhance the remanence of the magnet powders with high certainty, while only cause a little reduction in coercivity.
