Abstract

Fe/Cr/Co alloys of this invention which are provided with both a good workability and maximum energy product of 2.0 MGOe or more, consist of 17 to 45% by weight of chromium, 3 to 14.9% by weight of cobalt and the remainder being essentially of iron, which also attribute to the method of producing improved Fe/Cr/Co permanent alloy products usable with good efficiency on an industrial scale and make the best possible use of the advantageous characteristics particular to the component compositions of the alloys. This method contains the aging in a magnetic field and preferably comprises at least the step of aging in a magnetic field the alloy material in a predetermined temperature range and the secondary aging treatment step of cooling continuously and gradually the alloy material through a predetermined temperature range.
