Crystallization of single-phase nanocrystalline Nd10.8Dy1.5Fe79.7(NbZrCu)2.0B6.0 ribbons

The crystallization of single-phase nanocrystalline Nd10.8Dy1.5Fe79.7(NbZrCu)2.0B6.0 ribbons has been investigated. The as-spun ribbons are mainly composed of an amorphous matrix with a small amount of α-Fe, Nd2Fe14B and/or other crystallization phases. Cu-enriched clusters with different sizes have been found in the as-spun ribbons. These clusters almost disappear after crystallization, which can possess effects on the refinement of grains.
