The effects of Nb and Cu additives as will as substitutional Co into $Nd_{4}Fe_{85.5}B_{10.5}$ melt-spun alloy were studied aiming for finding a $\alpha$-Fe based Nd-Fe-B composite alloys with high energy product. The addition of Nb and Cu to $Nd_{4}Fe_{85.5}B_{10.5}$ decreased the average grain size and increased the coercivity up to 207kA/m(2.6kOe), Further-more, the substitution of Co for Fe in $Nd_{4}Fe_{82}B_{10}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}$ alloy resulted in the decrease of the average grain size (<20nm) and improved the hard magnetic properties. The remanence, coercivity and energy product of optimally annealed $Nd_{4}Fe_{74}Co_{8}B_{10}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}$ alloy were 1.345, 219kA/m(2.75kOe) and $95.5kJ/m^{3}$(12MGOe), respectively.

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.

The nanocrystalline Nd-Fe-B alloys with low Nd content were prepared by rapid solidification technique. The alloys consist of both$\alpha$-Fe as the main phase and $Nd_2Fe_{14}B_1$ as a secondary phase and have an ultrafine grain structure of about 30 nm. The addition of Ga in $Nd_4Fe_{82}B_{10}Mo_3Cu_1$ alloy increases remanence up to 1.29 T and improves squareness. The nanocrystalline $Nd_5Fe_{81}B_9Mo_3Cu_1Ga_1$ alloy has a volume fraction of $Nd_2Fe_{14}B_1$ phase of around 35% due to the increase of Nd content and shows an improved coercivity. The remanence, coercivity and energy product of optimally annealed nanocrystalline $Nd_5Fe_{81}B_9Mo_3Cu_1Ga_1$ alloy are 1.24 T, 257.4 kA/m (3.23 kOe), and 100.3 kJ/ ㎥ (12.6 MGOe), respectively.

The Effects of Co-substitution in the nanocrystalline Nd-Fe-B-Mo-Cu alloys were investigated. $\alpha$-Fe based nanocrystalline Nd-Fe-B-Mo-Cu alloys were prepared by crystallization process of amorphous Nd-Fe-B-Mo-Cu alloy produced by rapid solidification process. The substitution of Co resulted in the decrease of grain size and improves the hard magnetic properties. The remanence, coercivity, and Curie temperature of nanocrystalline N $d_4$(F $e_{0.85}$ $Co_{0.15}$)$_{82}$ $B_{10}$M $o_3$Cu alloy showed more improved magnetic properties than those of Co-free alloy. The grain size was measured to be about 15 nm. The coercivity, remanence and maximum energy product were 239 kA/m, 1.41, and 103.5 kJ/ $m^3$, respectively, for the nanocrystalline N $d_4$(F $e_{0.85}$ $Co_{0.15}$)$_{82}$ $B_{10}$M $o_3$Cu alloy annealed for 0.6 ks at 640 $^{\circ}C$.

The magnetic properties of Nd-Fe-B alloys of containing 4 at.% Nd have been studied for the development of new type rare-earth magnets. The amorphous phase of a melt-spun $Nd_{4}Fe_{85.5}B_{10.5}$ alloy is transformed into the phases which have a small amount of $Nd_{2}Fe_{14}B_{1}$ in ${\alpha}-Fe$ matrix by annealing above their crystallization temperature. The addition of Mo, Nb, V or Cu to $Nd_{4}Fe_{85.5}B_{10.5}$ alloy results in the reduction of grain size and the sub¬sequent improvement of the coercivity. The coercivity of $Nd_{4}Fe_{82}B_{10}M_{3}Cu_{1}$(M = Mo, Nb, V) alloys increases in the order of M = V < Nb < Mo and shows the highest value of 2.7 kOe when M = Mo. On the other hand, the rem¬anence of these alloys shows the opposite trend and the rn>st improved value of 1.35 T is observed when M = V.

Minor phases in cast and hot-pressed R(R=Pr, Nd)-Fe-B magnet were investigated through thermomagnetic analysis. The relationship between minor phases and coercivities of R-Fe-B magnets was studied. ${\alpha}-Fe$ and $Nd_{2}Fe_{17}$ were precipitated in as-cast Pr-Fe-B and Nd-Fe-B alloys respectively. These phases were considered to deteriorate the magnetic properties of R-Fe-B magnets. During the heat treatment, ${\alpha}-Fe$ and $Nd_{2}Fe_{17}$ were annihilated and the magnetic properties of cast R-Fe-B magnet were improved. Hot-pressed Nd-Fe-B magnet showed better thermal stability than sintered magnet.

Magnetic properties of $Nd_{x}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{90-x}B_{6}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}(x=\;3,\;4,\;5)$ rrelt-spun alloys with 6 at% B content were studied aiming for finding out a new $\alpha$-Fe based Nd-Fe-B nanocrystalline alloy with good hard magnetic properties. $Nd_{x}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{90-x}B_{6}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}$ melt-spun alloys prepared by RSP crystallized to nanocrystalline phase. An optimally annealed $Nd_{3}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{87}B_{6}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}$ melt-spun alloys had larger volume ratio of $\alpha$-Fe(Co) than that of higher Nd content alloy and showed high remanence of about 1.6 T. On the contrary, the increase of Nd content in $Nd_{x}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{90-x}B_{6}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}$ alloys gave rise to gradual increase of an amount of $Nd_{2}{(Fe,\;Co)}_{14}B$ phase and improved coercivity. An optimally annealed $Nd_{5}{(Fe_{0.9}Co_{0.1})}_{85}B_{6}Nb_{3}Cu_{1}$ alloy showed the most improved hard mag¬netic properties. The remanence, coercivityand energy product of the alloy were 1.35 T, 219 kA/m (2.75 kOe), and $129\;kJ/m^{3}$ (16.2 MGOe), respectively.

Thd specimens were melited in high frequency induction furnace. The samples for measurements were prepared by machining cylinder of 9.5mm diameter and 15mm height. These samples were then hot-pressed according to strain rate ( .epsilon. ). These samples were decanned and cut out, and subsequently heat treated at 1000 .deg. C for 4hours. These were investigated for the change of microstructure, domain pattern, X-ray diffraction and magnetic properties. The stress distributions in the specimens during compressing process were calculated by a finite element method program(SPID). The calculated stresses were effective stress( .sigma. $_{eff}$), compressive direction stress( .sigma. $_{z}$), and shear stress( .tau. $_{rz}$ ). These stresses were compared with the experimental data.a.a.
