Abstract

The coercivity of magnetic alloys formed from platinum, cobalt, and boron is enhanced by incorporating from 12 to 14 percent of boron together with amounts of platinum and cobalt such that the ratio of platinum to cobalt is from 0.90 to 1.2. The magnetic alloy is formed by rapid solidification of a homogeneous melt, and the solidified casting is heat treated to improve microstructure and increase coercivity.
