Magnetization Reversal Processes in the Nanocrystalline Fe-Co-Zr-Ti-Pr-B Magnets

Magnetization reversal processes in the magnets derived from the $Fe_{60}Co_{13}Zr_1Ti_3Pr_9B_{14}$ alloy were investigated. It was shown that the processing technique affects the magnetization reversal processes. For the nanocrystalline ribbon samples pinning of the domain walls arises at low external magnetic fields while nucleation of reversed domains occurs at higher fields. However, the nucleation fields are lower than the pinning fields for the nanocrystalline rod and tube samples produced by suction-casting technique.
