Magnetic properties of Nd-Fe-B-Co-Al alloy magnets have been studied with respect to both boron and aluminum concentration. Both cobalt and aluminum substitution for iron is remarkably effective for increasing magnetic hardness in the low boron concentration region. The following magnetic properties were attained for Nd15Fe62.5B5.5Co16Al1: Br=13.2KG, iHc=11.0kOe, (BH)max=41.0MGOe and Tc=500°C. The reversible temperature coefficient of remanence in the above magnet was -0.071%/°., approximately one-half that for the Nd15Fe77B8magnet. It was observed that Laves phase Nd(Fe, Co)2precipitates in cobalt containing magnets. The authors think that the addition of aluminum makes this Nd(Fe, Co)2magnetic phase non-magnetic; which is considered to be the cause of coercivity increase.
