HDDR characteristics and magnetic properties of $Nd_{15}{(Fe_{1-x}Co_{x})}_{77}B_{8}$(x=0-0.6) alloys were investigated. The effect of applying magnetic field during the recombination step on the anisotropic nature of the HDDR-treated material was also examined. The $Nd_{15}{(Fe_{1-x}Co_{x})}_{77}B_{8}$ phase in the Nd-Fe-B alloys with high Co-substitution alloy had remarkably enhanced phase stability. The $Nd_{15}{(Fe_{1-x}Co_{x})}_{77}B_{8}$(x=0-0.6) alloys with high Co-substitution could be HDDR-treated successfully by only using high pressure hydrogen. However, these alloys had no appreciable coercivity. The poor coercivity of the HDDR-treated $Nd_{15}{(Fe_{1-x}Co_{x})}_{77}B_{8}$(x=0-0.6) alloys with high Co-substitution was attributed to the $Nd{(Fe,Co)}_2$ phase in the alloys. The magnetic filed applied during the recombination step had little effect on the anisotropic nature of the HDDR-treated powder.

Mechanical milling technique is considered to be a useful way of processing the fine Nd-Fe-B-type powder with high coercivity. In the present study, phase evolution of the $Nd_{15}(Fe_{1-x}Co_{x})_{77}B_{8}$ (x=0-0.6) alloys during the high energy mechanical milling and annealing was investigated. The effect of Co-substitution on the crystallization of the mechanically milled $Nd_{15}(Fe_{1-x}Co_{x})_{77}B_{8}$ amorphous material was examined. The Nd-Fe-B-type alloys can be amorphized completely by a high-energy mechanical milling. On annealing of the amorphous material, fine $\alpha$-Fe crystallites form first from the amorphous. These fine $\alpha$-Fe crystallites reacts with the remaining amorphous afterwards, leading to crystallization to $Nd_2Fe_{14}$B phase. The Co-substitution for Fe in $Nd_{15}(Fe_{1-x}Co_{x})_{77}B_{8}$ ($\mu$x=0∼0.6) alloys lower significantly the crystallization temperature of the amorphous phase to the $Nd_2Fe_{14}$B phase. The mechanically milled and annealed $Nd_{15}Fe_{77}B_8$ alloy without Co-substitution exhibits consistently better magnetic properties with respect to the alloys with Co-substitution.

The thermal and magnetic properties of amorphous (FeCo)SiBNb ribbon alloys with high glass forming ability have been investigated. The glass forming ability was enhanced by Co substitution in amorphous ($Fe_{1-X}Co_X)_{72}Si_4B_{20}Nb_4$ alloys with the thickness of about $40{\mu}m$. With the increase in Co content, the temperature range of supercooled liquid phase increased indicating the high glass forming ability of the Co-added alloys. Further the ac permeability increased, and the core loss decreased considerably by Co substitution, while small change in $B_8$ (magnetic flux density at 800 A/m) was observed. The frequency characteristics of permeability deteriorated as compared to conventional amorphous ribbon alloys with the thickness of about $20\;{\mu}m$ due to the increased skin effect.

The composition, the preferred orientation and the magnetic properties of the CoFeCu alloys electrodepositen under various electrolysis conditions in sulfate baths ware investigated. As the D.C. current density increased, the Co content in alloy electrodeposits increased, while the Cu content decreased and Fe content remained content. The effect of magnetic field up to 300 Oe on the composition of alloys was negligible. The Cu content of the alloys deposited in pulse current increased noticeably with increasing off-time, while the Co and Fe content decreased. The coercivity of the alloys with 3.5 to 7.0wt.% Cu was 1.0 to 2.0 Oe, but increased noticeably above and below that composition. The application of magnetic field during deposition decreased the coercivity of alloys. The saturation flux density of the alloys with 3.5 to 5.0wt.% Cu was relatively high in the range from 16 to 20.7Gauss. The anisotropy field(HK) of the alloys deposited under the magnetic field(50∼300 Oe) ranged from 18 to 22 Oe. The alloys had fcc structure with (111) preferred orientation, whose distribution increased a little with increasing magnetic field.

Magnetic properties and microstructure of nanocrystalline $\alpha$-(Fe, Co)-based Nd-(Fe, Co)-B-Nb-Cu alloys have been investigated. $Nd_x(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})_{90-x}B_6Nb_3Cu_1$(x=2, 3, 4, 5, 6) alloys prepared by rapid solidification process show amorphous phase except the one with x=2. By a proper annealing, the amorphous in the alloy is changed to a nanocrystalline phase. It is confirmed that the nanocrystalline alloys are composed of $\alpha$-(Fe, Co) and $Nd_2(Fe, Co)_{14}B_1$ phase. The optimally annealed $Nd_3(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})_87B_6Nb_3Cu_1$ alloy shows the highest remanence of 1.55 T. The coercivity increases with the increase of Nd content The maximum coercivity of 4.6 kOe is obtained from an optimally annealed $Nd_6(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})_84B_6Nb_3Cu_1$ alloy, resulting in the maximum energy product of 10.6 MGOe.

Amorphous $Fe_{68.5}Co_5M_3Cu_1Si_{13.5}B_9(M=Nb, Mo, Mn, Cr)$ alloys were prepared by using rapidly quenching techinque and were annealed above their crystallization temperatures. Coercive force, initial permeability and AC power loss of the annealed $Fe_{68.5}Co_5M_3Cu_1Si_{13.5}B_9(M=Nb, Mo, Mn, Cr)$ alloys have been studied systematically. Nanocrystallines are formed in the annealed alloys which include Mo and Nb. Remarkably improved soft magnetic properties are obtained in the alloys whose average grain size is around 10 nm. However, soft magnetic properties of the alloys are degraded when grain size is less than IOnm or larger than 15nm. It is considered that the degradation of soft magnetic properties in the alloys whose average grain size is less than 10 nm is due to the Fe-rich amorphous phase retained at grain boundary during the initial crystallization process.

Novel soft magnetic materials can be achieved by altering material properties such as morphology, composition, crystallinity, and grain size of soft magnetic alloys. Especially, magnetic properties (i.e., saturation magnetization, coarcivity) of soft magnetics are significantly affected by grain boundaries which act as a control of magnetic domain wall movement. Thus, we herein develop a two-step electroless plating method to control morphology and grain size of FeCo films for excellent magnetic properties. Accordingly, the chemical composition to control the degree of polarization of FeCo alloys was altered by electroless deposition parameters; for example, electrolyte concentration and temperature. The grain size and crystallinity of FeCo alloys was dramatically affected by the reaction temperature because the grain growth mechanism dominantly occurs at $90^{\circ}C$ where as the neucleation only happens at $50^{\circ}C$. By simply controlling the temperature, the micron-sized FeCo grains embedded FeCo film was synthesized where the large grains allow high magnetization originated from larger magnetic domain with low corecivity and the nano-sized grains allow excellent soft magnetic properties due to the magnetic correlation length.

In order to obtain specific magnetic properties, it is of paramount importance to increase the alloy density of components fabricated by powder metallurgy. An alternative to increase the density of alloys such as Fe-49Co-2V would be the use of elemental Fe and Co instead of the pre-alloyed powder. Trying to give some insight on the industrial application of this strategy, this paper investigates the replacement of more conventional pre-alloyed Fe-49Co-2V powders with elemental Fe and Co. A previous analysis shows that it is possible to achieve higher densities and leads to a noticeable improvement in some important magnetic properties.

This research examines the effect of adding aluminum on the structural, phasic, and magnetic properties of CoCrFe NiMnAl_x high-entropy alloys. To this aim, the arc-melt process was used under an argon atmosphere for preparing cast samples. The phasic, structural, and magnetic properties of the samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and vibrational magnetometry (VSM) analyses. Based on the results, the addition of aluminum to the compound caused changes in the crystalline structure, from FCC solid solution in the CoCrFeNiMn sample to CoCrFeNiMnAl BBC solid solution. It was associated with changes in the magnetic property of CoCrFeNiMnAl_x high-entropy alloys, from paramagnetic to ferromagnetic. The maximum saturation magnetization for the CoCrFeNiMnAl casting sample was estimated to be around 79 emu/g. Despite the phase stability of the FCC solid solution with temperature, the solid solution phase formed in the CrCrFeNiMnAl high-entropy compound was not stable, and changed into FCC solid solution with temperature elevation, causing a reduction in saturation magnetization to about 7 emu/g.

Various compositions of CoFeNi alloys have been electrodeposited in chloride bath and in sulfate bath, and evaluated for electrodeposition characteristics and magnetic properties. For electrodeposited CoFeNi thin film alloys, the increase of Fe content in the deposits from sulfate bath was considerably faster than those from chloride bath. The current efficiencies in sulfate bath showed observable decrease from $75\%\;to\;50\%$ while those in chloride bath showed no significant decrease. From the low coercivity of 3 Oe in the minimum and the higher squarenesses of the alloys from sulfate bath than those from chloride bath, the alloy at Co, Fe, and Ni contents of $80wt.\%,\;10wt.\%,\;and\;10wt.\%$ can be considered to be the best CoFeNi alloy in this research for the soft magnetic material.
