Abstract Hydrogen treatment technology is developed to recycle the waste Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets in the way of short route, low cost, and high efficiency. In present study, effect of hydrogen pressure on hydrogen decrepitation (HD) process of sintered Nd-Fe-B strip casting flakes (SC) and waste sintered magnets (SM) was systematically studied. Both SC and SM show the approximate HD process, which accelerates with increasing pressure. The surface activation process accelerates with increasing pressure, and almost disappears when the initial hydrogen pressure reaches to 6 MPa. The hydrogen content of SM is lower than SC, and increases with increasing pressure. For the SM, blasting power of HD process decreases with the increase of the initial hydrogen pressure. It provides beneficial reference for recycling waste Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets.
