We used the knowledge, acquired in the program, in collaboration with partners from the industry to solve current problems in the industry to improve some of the already existing products as well as new products and technologies. In the frame of the program we also opened new areas and approaches also in the area of ecology and energy (Toplarna, Ljubljana) in which we can expect useful knowledge which will lead to new products and technologies. The achievements in the frame of this research program are: Development of technology for producing anisotropic powder from NdFeB using the HDDR process, which allows the Slovene magnet producer to enter the market as an equal player in RETM magnets. It is very important for the industry partner to develop a procedure for coating corrosion-resistant powders on RETM magnets For industry it is also very important to control the flowability of powders. This we achieved with the development of a new coating procedure. We developed a procedure for bonded magnets involving the pressing at high temperatures of coated powders, which allows polymerisation of the bonding material. The development of materials (EU patent) and technology for the preparation of high-coercivity SmFeN powders which makes it possible for the Slovene industry partner to produce bonded magnets from nanocrystalline-based powder. The only producer in the world capable of this technology is Sumitomo in Japan. We developed and made a prototype device which allows us to measure magnetic properties in a closed circuit to 600 degrees C, with this contribution to the EU project we achieved a very important result and a good response from the manufacturers of such equipment. For the home industry we developed a device to prevent calcite formation. And we proved the success of using technologies in a system for domestic hot water. The developed method with which we solved the problem of sample preparation for nanocrystalline powders has been extended to other users of electron microscopes for different materials. This same is true for the development of the procedure for phase identification, which is based on the comparison of experiment and simulation of the sample's electronic diffraction. We optimised the procedure for microanalysis, and with the use of a statistical approach we obtained the composition of the solid solution in different systems, also for co-workers in other departments at the IJS, and other research institutes, which do important research in the world as well as in Slovenia.
