Magnetothermal properties of Fe-Cr-Co alloys in the highly coercive st
ate are investigated with the aim to elucidate the nature of magnetic
phase transitions in the temperature range from 150 to 1000 K. The dep
endences of magnetocaloric effect and specific magnetization on temper
ature T and magnetic field strength H are measured. It is shown for th
e first time that three magnetic phases exist in alloys in the highly
coercive state: ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic, and superparamagneti
