By systematically varying composition in the Pr-Co-B phase diagram we have determined starting alloy formulations which yield melt-spun ribbons having technologically significant hard magnetic properties. In particular, energy products and coercivities as large as 5.5 MGOe and 25.0 kOe, respectively, have been observed in ribbons comprised principally of Pr/sub 2/Co/sub 14/B. We discuss the dependence of the magnetic characteristics on temperature as well as on composition.
