The effects of composition and additives on the microstructures and magnetic properties of Nd-Fe-B melt-spun ribbons were studied. Experimental results have revealed that homogeneous grain structure with fine grain size was obtained on composition close to 2-14-1 stoichiometry with additives. It was also found that Nb was very effective in increasing both remanence and coercivity in a Nd-Fe-B melt-spun ribbon. A high-energy product of 151.2 kJ/m3 (19.0 MGOe) was obtained from an isotropic (Nd0.5Pr0.5)12Fe72Co8B6Nb2 melt-spun ribbon with a remanence of 0.926 T and a coercivity exceeding 1200 kA/m (∼15 kOe).

Three samples of superconductors of the title system are prepared using the normal 1:2:3 ratio of Y2O3, BaCO3, and CuO, and additionally the ratios 0.8:2:3 and 1.1:2:2.8 to prepare specimen with and without a liquid phase.
