The features of hydrogenation, disproportionation, desorption, recombination (HDDR) processes in Nd$_{11.8}$Fe$_{82.3}$B$_{5.9}$ and Nd$_{16}$Fe$_{76}$B$_{8}$ alloys under hydrogen pressure of 0.05 MPa in the temperature range of 20—840°C are studied by means of differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods. Superfine Nd$_{2}$Fe$_{14}$B phase with up 200 nm thickness lamellar microstructure is formed in some alloys’ areas after solid HDDR under low hydrogen pressure. The principal possibility of fine-grained magnetic-anisotropy microstructure formation in Nd—Fe—B system alloys is shown in the cases of presence of small amount of initial ferromagnetic Nd$_{2}$Fe$_{14}$B phase among disproportionated products.
Key words: hydrogen initiated phase transformations, magnetic anisotropy, ferromagnetic alloys, Nd$_{2}$Fe$_{14}$B, hydrogen technology.
