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 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.

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 $^{\circ}C$.
