Abstract

Summary form only given. Nanophase melt spun PrFeB alloys, having exchange enhanced remanence J/sub r/ and energy product (BH)/sub max/, have the advantage of higher coercivities than corresponding NdFeB alloys because of the higher magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant for the Pr/sub 2/Fe/sub 14/B phase than for its Nd counterpart. The Curie temperature for Pr/sub 2/Fe/sub 14/B is, however, somewhat lower than for Nd/sub 2/Fe/sub 14/B. Thus, partial substitution of Fe by Co is useful to compensate for this. The influence of Pr content and crystallization sequence on the magnetic properties of initially amorphous melt spun Pr/sub x/(Fe/sub 0.8/Co/sub 0.2/)/sub 94-x/B/sub 6/ (x=12, 10, 9, 8) alloy ribbons has been systematically investigated using DTA, XRD, TEM and VSM techniques.
