Fe-Nd-B is emerging as an important hard magnetic alloy system. The magnetic properties, in particular, the coercivity, are strongly influenced by the microstruetura1 condition of the magnet and are subject to degradation by various factors which can be understood only with the use of analytical electron microscopy. This investigation focuses on the characterization of inclusions discovered within a magnet which exhibits a kinked B-H loop.(Fig.1). Based on the microstructural investigation, an appraisal is made of the effect of these particles on the magnetic properties.

Compared to binary Pt-Co materials, the ternary Pt42Co45B13 (at.%) alloy exhibits major improvements in hard magnetic behavior. Although rapid solidification processing (RSP) of the Pt-Co-B alloy is necessary to produce a refined distribution of the boron, this RSP condition does not constitute a strong magnetic material. To achieve the optimum hard magnetic properties requires subsequent annealing steps. Upon annealing the RSP ternary alloy, boron combines with Co to form magnetically anisotropic Coborides and the presence of boron has been observed to increase the rate of the transformation from the disordered FCC Pt-Co phase to the L1o superlattice. Understanding these phase transformations and their influence on the magnetic properties demands characterization of both the metastable RSP and annealed conditions.
