Although zirconium iron has certain magnetism, its magnetism is weak and it is usually not directly used as a magnetic material. However, in specific applications such as preparing derivatized magnetic carbon materials or as alloy additives, zirconium iron has certain application value in the field of magnetic materials.

1、 Magnetic properties of zirconium iron

Zirconium iron belongs to the iron group elements and has ferromagnetism. However, due to the unique crystal structure, the magnetism of zirconium iron is relatively weak. This weak magnetism makes zirconium iron not generally classified as a material with significant magnetism. In the structure of zirconium iron, the irregular arrangement of zirconium and iron atoms causes magnetic moments to cancel each other out, thereby reducing the magnetic properties of the entire crystal.

2、 Application of Zirconium Iron in Magnetic Materials

Although zirconium iron itself has weak magnetism, it still demonstrates potential value in the field of magnetic materials in certain specific applications. For example, in the preparation method of a new type of zirconium iron bimetallic organic framework derived magnetic carbon material, zirconium iron is used as the key raw material, and magnetic carbon materials are successfully prepared through solvent thermal reaction and high-temperature calcination process. This method does not require additional carbon sources, is simple to operate and easy to control, providing a new approach for the preparation of magnetic materials.

3、 Application of Zirconium Iron Alloy Powder

In addition, zirconium iron alloy powder also plays an important role in the preparation of permanent magnet materials and hydrogen storage alloys. Coarse grained zirconium iron alloy powder can be used as the main additive material in the neodymium iron boron industry, hydrogen storage, and permanent magnet materials industry, forming alloys with magnetic materials or hydrogen storage alloys. This alloying process helps to improve the magnetic and hydrogen storage properties of the material, thereby expanding the application range of zirconium iron in the field of magnetic materials.

4、 Conclusion and Prospect

In summary, although zirconium iron itself has weak magnetism, it still has certain application value in the field of magnetic materials under specific conditions, such as preparing derivatized magnetic carbon materials or as alloy additives. Future research can further explore more potential applications of zirconium iron in magnetic materials, optimize preparation processes, and improve the magnetic properties and stability of materials.
