The critical behavior of spin-reorientation phase transitions in the hard magnetic intermetallics (Er{sub {ital x}}{ital R}{sub 1{minus}x}){sub 2}Fe{sub 14}B ({ital R}=Dy and Nd) has been studied with ac low-field susceptibility, {chi}{sub {ital H}}, and cone-angle measurements. A simple model for scaling the low-field susceptibility has been developed and applied to the present series of compounds. The critical exponents for {chi}{sub {ital H}} have been determined for some well-behaved compounds.
