The structural transformations from amorphous, metastable-to-equilibrium phases during annealing treatment of rapidly quenched Nd10Fe90−xTix (x=0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) alloys have been studied systematically. By means of ac initial susceptibility and x-ray diffraction, a CaCu5-type metastable phase was observed for 0≤x≤10 as the crystallization of the amorphous alloys occurs below 700 °C. The CaCu5-type structure transforms into a TbCu7-type one with increasing the annealing temperature (above 700 °C). These melt-spun alloys have different structures including Th2Zn17 type for 0≤x≤4 and TbCu7 and ThMn12 types for 6≤x≤10, when annealed at high temperature (above 1000 °C). Nitrogenation was carried out at 400 °C for 10 h. Both Nd(Fe,Ti)5 and its nitride are soft-magnetic phases, like Nd(Fe,Ti)7 and Nd2(Fe,Ti)17. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
