Oxidation behavior on the surface of Nd-Fe-B ribbon alloy has been studied by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. In the incipient stage of oxidation on the surface of "as-received" ribbon Nd-oxide film was formed from the fast oxidation of Nd and Fe was metal state in bulk. In process of oxidation time Fe was more abundant in the outmost surface of ribbon from the defused Fe through Nd-oxide film and layer structure of oxidation film was formed.

Melt-spun $Nd_{14}Fe_{76}Co_4B_6$ and $Nd_{10.5}Fe_{79}Co_2Zr_{1.5}B_7$ ribbons were prepared under an externally applied magnetic field. Magnetic properties in terms of anisotropy were evaluated by discussing the effect of textured structure of the ribbon samples as well as its powders. About 32 % increase in $(B{\cdot}H)_{max}$ and 18.8 % increase in $B_r$ were observed along the perpendicular direction of the ribbon plane which is more prominent for the Nd-Fe-Co-Zr-B than for the Nd-Fe-Co-B alloy. The enhancement of magnetic anisotropy was monitored by measuring the anisotropy constant of each alloy as a function of quenching rate of the ribbon. It was found that for the melt-spun ribbon quenched at slow rate(less than 7 m/s) the magnetic field effect was overwhelmed by the heat gradient effect through the ribbon thickness while the field effect was prominent at intermediate quenching rate (more than 7~11 m/s). The reproducible maximum energy product, $(B{\cdot}H)_{max}$=16.4 MGOe can be obtained from the Nd-Fe-Co-Zr-B alloy.

$Nd_{14}Fe_{80}B_6$ ribbon alloy was manufactured with using melt-spinning method and analyzed the magnetic properties according to the manufacturing conditions. The microstructure and magnetic properties of melt-spun ribbons are sensitively dependent on the quench rate and annealing conditions. As-quenched $Nd_{14}Fe_{80}B_6$ ribbons with optimum magnetic properties are obtained at wheel speed($v_s$) of about 20m/sec and over quenched ribbons show optimum magnetic properties at $v_s$=22m/see when annealed for 30 minutes at $600^{\circ}C$ under vacuum. The crystallization temperature($T_k$) of $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ phase is about $595^{\circ}C$ in the DTA analysis.

The effect of quenching speed of melt-spinning on intrinsic coercivity ($_iH_c$$) of annealed ribbons and the crystallization behavior from amorphous $Nd_{14.73}Fe_{78.67}B_{6.60}$ alloy have been studied. We have found that the intrinsic coecivity for annealed melt-spun ribbon is reduced with increasing of quenching rate. $\alpha$-Fe and $Fe_3B$ were formed as intermediate phases prior to the formation of $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ phase during crystallization. The $Fe_3B$ is disappeared with crystallization of $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ phase. But the $\alpha$-Fe phase is retained in fully crystallized ribbon by annealing. The intrinsic coercivity loss of annealed ribbon with increasing of quenching speed is believed to be due to existence of soft magnetic phase $\alpha$-Fe in annealed ribbons.

Thin film magnet was fabricated by radio frequency magnetron sputtering using $Nd_13/(Fe.Co)_{70}B_{17}$ alloy target and magnetic properties were investigated according to sputtering conditions from the metallurgical point of view. we could obtain the best preferred orientation of $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ phase at substrate temperatures between $450^{\circ}C$ and $460^{\circ}C$ with the input power 150W, and thin films had the anisotropic magnetic properties. But, as the thickness of thin film increased, the c-axis orientation gradually tended to be disordered and magnetic properties also become isotropic. Just like Nd-Fe-B meltspun ribbon, the microstructure of thin film magnet was consisted of very find cell shaped $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ phase and the second phase along grain boundary. While, domain structure showed maze patterns whose magnetic easy axis was was perpendicular to film plane of thin film. It was concluded from these results that the perpendicualr anisotropy in magnetization was attributed to the perpendicular alignment of very find $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ grains in thin film.

Our team works on mixture of hard magnetic materials. As hard magnetic material we used mixture of powders: melt-spun ribbon Nd-Fe-B, ferrite and Alnico. Their different mixtures are basic material for dielectromagnets under our investigation. Main disadvantage of dielectromagnets with Nd-Fe-B alloy powder as a component is a low corrosion resistance. Protection against corrosion is covering dielectromagnets with metallic or organic coating film. The coating film protects dielectromagnets from free particles on the surface and low resistance for mechanical stresses too. The surface of dielectromagnets prepared from mixture of powders if formed by metallic particles - powder of Nd-Fe-B and Alnico, particles of oxide - powder of ferrite and particles of resin - bonding materials. Team work on technology of laying the metallic coating on dielectromagnets prepared from mixture of mentioned powders. Papers show the results of initial investigation on metallic coating technology. It shows influence of type and used technology of the metallic coating film on magnetic properties of dielectromagnets.

The effects of disk surface velocity on the microstructures and magnetic properties of ${(Nd_{0.8}Dy_{0.2})}_{12}Fe_{80}B_8$ melt-spun ribbons were investigated. From the X-ray diffraction results. it is confirmed that the lower the surface velocity ($V_{s}$), the better the orientation of c-axis normal to the ribbon plane. The results of magnetic property measurements for the powder solidfied in magnetic field showed that the highest remanence was obtained from the alloy quenched at medium velocity of $V_{s}=14.6m/s$. The remanence of the powder solidfied in magenetic field was about 10 % higher than that of the powder solidfied in non-magnetic field.
