The magnetic and structural properties of quaternary RCo/sub 4-//sub x/Fe/sub x/B alloys with R = Nd, Sm, Er have been examined with magnetometry and x-ray diffraction. The CeCo/sub 4/B-type phase is found for all x in Er, for xless than or equal to3 in Sm, and for x = 0, 1, and 2 in Nd. Maximum coercivities have been obtained in a crystallized SmFe/sub 2/Co/sub 2/B sample with H/sub c/>17 kOe at room temperature.
