In the present work the magnetic properties and phase constitution of (Nd₁₀Fe₆₇B₂₃)_{100-x}Nbₓ (where x = 1, 2, 4) alloys in the form of ribbons were investigated. The base alloys were prepared by arc-melting the high purity elements with pre-alloyed Fe-B under an Ar atmosphere. The ribbon samples were obtained by controlled atmosphere melt-spinning technique. In order to generate the nanocrystalline microstructure and hard magnetic properties, samples were annealed at various temperatures (from 923 K to 1023 K) for 5 min. The aim of the present work was to determine the influence of Nb admixture and annealing conditions on the phase constitution and magnetic properties.
