Abstract
The crystallization behavior of Nd/sub x/Fe/sub 93-x/Nb/sub 1/B/sub 6/ melt-spun ribbons was investigated using calorimetric techniques. The crystallization products were identified by X-ray diffraction and thermomagnetic measurements. Samples with x/spl ges/10 crystallize directly from amorphous to a mixture of Nd/sub 2/Fe/sub 14/B and /spl alpha/-Fe phases. For 10<x<7, the final mixture of 2:14:1 and /spl alpha/-Fe phases is obtained through a two stage crystallization where the intermediate metastable Nd/sub 2/Fe/sub 23/B/sub 3/ and Nd/sub 3/Fe/sub 62/B/sub 14/ phases are produced at the initial crystallization. In samples with 7<x<4 the intermediate phase Is Nd/sub 3/Fe/sub 62/B/sub 14/. No metastable phases were observed in samples containing less than 3 at% Nd although the calorimetric measurements indicated a two-step crystallization process.
