It had been reported that substitution of C for B enhances the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of Nd2Fe14B1−xCx compounds.1 This paper will study the structure and magnetic properties of (NdPr)15Fe77(B1−xCx)8 alloys changing with x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.9, and 1.0. It is found that the Curie temperature and welting point of the (NdPr)15Fe77(B1−xCx)8 alloy decrease linearly with increasing C content, indicating that B can be replaced by C continuously (x≤0.9). (NdPr)2Fe14X (X=BC or B1−xCx) phase which maintains the Nd2Fe14B-type structure is formed in quenched ribbons (x≤0.9), and (NdPr)2Fe17Cx with the Th2Zn17-type structure and Nd2C3 phase are formed in the ribbon of x=1. The substitution of C makes the grains fine and homogenized. The best effect of fining grains (size (very-much-less-than)0.1 μm) is obtained in the ribbon for x=0.6, and the values of Ms, Br, i Hc, and (BH)max are 12.5 kG, 7.04 kG, 18.5 kOe, and 8.79 MGOe, respectively (maximum field of 70 kOe). This subject was partly helped by the Magnetism Laboratory of Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica.
