Abstract

The magnetic properties of nanophase exchange enhanced RE-Fe-B based alloys ribbons prepared by melt spinning are presented and discussed. The alloy systems investigated include NdyFe94−yB6 and PryFe94−yB6, for y within the range 6-20 at%, and the data are compared in the context of the larger anisotropy field for the Pr2Fe14B phase in comparison with Nd2Fe14B. Experimental studies are also reported for nanophase (Nd-Pr)- Fe-B alloys with various proportions of Nd:Pr, to investigate the increase in coercivity of NdFeB by partial substitution of Nd by Pr, and for (Nd, Pr)-(Fe-Co)-B-based systems, to study the degree to which the remanence enhancement can be maintained for alloys in which Co substitutes for Fe to increase the thermal stability.
