Magnetization Reversal Processes in Nanocrystalline (Pr, Dy)-(Fe, Co)-B Bulk Alloys

The aim of this paper was to study the phase constitution, magnetic properties and magnetization reversal processes in the rapidly solidified bulk (Pr,Dy)-(Fe,Co)-B alloys doped with Zr, Ti, Mn and Ni. The 3 mm outer diameter tubes samples of the $Pr₈Dy₁Fe₆₀Co₇Ni_{(6x)}MnₓB₁₄Zr₁Ti₃$ (where x = 0, 3, 6) alloys were produced by suction-casting technique. The admixture of Zr was introduced in order to improve their glass forming abilities while Dy was substituted to enhance the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of hard magnetic phase. The effect of Ni and Mn addition on the phase constitution and magnetic properties was studied in the presented work.
