Rk. Sharma et al., AN INVESTIGATION OF A MM-FE-B ALLOY DOPED WITH CO, ND AND AL, Transactions of the Indian Institute of Metals, 48(2), 1995, pp. 81-84
A preliminary work has been done to study the effect of doping RE(15)F
e(77)B(8) alloy (RE is the total rare earth content of Mischmetal) wit
h Co-1 Al, and Nd. Co increases Curie temperature T-c whereas Al decre
ases it. Increase in T-c occurs with increase in Nd content. Co and Al
additions make the alloy magnetically soft possibly due to the presen
ce of alpha-Fe phase. Magnetic property studies show that cheaper magn
ets may be possible to develop with (Nd(100-x)RE(x))(15)Fe66Co10Al1B8
alloys with x = 10 to 30.
