Popis: The magnetic and crystallization properties of melt-spun Nd 1− x Fe x alloys are reported. By using high purity constituents and an extremely fine orifice (100–150 μm), amorphous alloys were prepared over the interval 0.4 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.8. Their magnetic properties, taken between 20–850 K in fields up to 95 kOe, are interpreted on the basis of a sperimagnetic structure; at high field the alloys from collinear ferromagnetic structures. Room temperature coercivities of the amorphous alloys are relatively low (1.5–2.0 kOe) but increase substantially at reduced temperatures; at 20 K, a maximum coercivity of 52 kOe was found for a Nd 0.4 Fe 0.6 alloy. X-ray diffraction indicates that the melt-spun alloys crystallize by the precipitation of Nd metal and an unidentified Nd-Fe phase. Changes in magnetization and coercivity during crystallization are reported.
