Bulk　anisotropic　Nd-Fe-B　magnets　were　synthesized　by　hot　pressing　and　subsequent　hot　deforming　melt-spun　ribbons　using　spark　plasma　sintering　(SPS)　technique.　Influences　of　grains　morphology　and　Nd-rich　intergranular　phase　distribution　on　magnetic　properties　of　both　hot　pressing　and　hot　deforming　magnets　were　investigated.　Compared　with　starting　ribbons,　randomly　oriented　Nd2Fe14B　grains　in　hot　pressing　magnets　increased　their　average　size　from　40　to　100　nm,　which　led　to　a　slightly　reduction　of　coercive　force　of　the　magnets.　After　hot　deformation,　the　interior　of　the　magnets　consisted　of　well-aligned　platelet　shaped　Nd2Fe14B　grains　with　80　nm　in　thickness　and　200-500　nm　in　length.　On　the　other　hand,　most　Nd-rich　phase　in　the　magnets　redistributed　from　grain　boundaries　to　triple　junctions　of　the　Nd2Fe14B　grains.　The　resultant　magnets　exhibited　a　remanence　(Br)　of　1.34　T,　coercive　force　(Hci)　of　512　kA/m,　and　maximum　energy　product　((BH)(max))　of　280　kJ/m(3).　(c)　2005　Elsevier　B.V　All　rights　reserved.
