Considerable enhancement of magnetic properties was attained ill initially stoichiometric nanophase RE12Fe82B6 melt-spun alloys (RE = Nd, Nd + Pr) by means of an excess B content (10 at%) and additions of Zr and Co (2% and 7% respectively). The intrinsic coercivity exhibited a marked improvement (with respect to the stoichionmetric 6 at%, B alloy), within the range 50-65%,, With a maximum of 1161 +/- 14 kA m(-1) for the B-rich and Zr-containing alloy, to-ether with all excellent combination of remanence and energy density values of 0.90 +/- 0.01 T and 137 +/- 4 kJ m(-3), respectively. Further Co addition led to a CLlrie telilperature increase. while preserving high coercivity (1176 +/- 31 kA m(-1)) arld Useful energy densities (119 +/- 4 U kJ m(-3)). Results were interpreted oil the basis of alloy microstructural features and on variations of the intrinsic magnetic properties, supported by micromagnetic calculations. (c) 2008 Acta Materialia Inc.
