Microstructure and magnetic properties of melt-spun Fe{sub 80-x}Pt{sub x}B{sub 20} (x=20,22,24) alloy ribbons have been investigated. A homogeneous nanoscale mixed structure with amorphous and fcc {gamma}-FePt phases was formed in the melt-spun ribbons. The average sizes of the amorphous and fcc {gamma}-FePt phases are about 5 nm, and the enrichment phenomenon of B is recognized in the coexistent amorphous phase. The melt-spun ribbons exhibit soft magnetic properties. The nanocomposite structure consisting of fct {gamma}{sub 1}-FePt, fcc {gamma}-FePt, and Fe{sub 2}B phases was obtained in the melt-spun ribbons annealed at 798 K for 900 s, and their average grain sizes are about 20 nm. The remanence (B{sub r}), reduced remanence (M{sub r}/M{sub s}), coercivity ({sub i}H{sub c}), and maximum energy product (BH){sub max} of the nanocomposite alloys are in the range of 0.93-1.05 T, 0.79-0.82, 375-487 kA/m, and 118-127 kJ/m{sup 3}, respectively. The good hard magnetic properties are interpreted as resulting from exchange magnetic coupling between nanoscale hard fct {gamma}{sub 1}-FePt and soft magnetic fcc {gamma}-FePt or Fe{sub 2}B phases.
