Abstract

Provided are Ce/Co/Cu permanent magnet alloys containing certain refractory metals, such as Ta and/or Hf, and optionally Fe which represent economically more favorable alternative to Sm-based magnets with respect to both material and processing costs and which retain and/or improve magnetic characteristics useful for GAP MAGNET applications.
