Abstract
An investigation of the magnetic properties of the Nd16Fe72-xCoxC11B series is described. The as-cast alloys show the coexistence in equilibrium of th e Nd2Fe14C phase together with secondary phases, such as alpha -Fe and the very corrosive chi (hexagonal) phase. After one week of heat treatment, the main 2:14:1 phase in the alloys is verified. It is verified that the addit ion of 1 at % B reduces the presence of a-Fe in this compound, whereas the substitution of Co for Fe causes an increase of the critical temperature. F or x = 10 a maximum is observed in both the remanence and coercivity, at 4k G and 3 kOe, respectively. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserv ed.
