Here we first report the fully abundant rare earth(RE)-based nanocrystalline multi-component(Ce,La,Y)-Fe-B alloys containing no critical RE elements of Nd,Pr,Dy,and Tb by melt-spinning technique.The roles of La and Y substitutions for Ce have been fully understood.La plays a positive role on both thermal stability and room-temperature(RT)magnetic properties.The enhanced coercivity Hcj by partial substitution of La is attributed to the increases of anisotropy field HA and the formation of continuously distributed grain boundaries resulting from the suppression of CeFe2 phase.Although Y substitution is not benefit for Hcj,both remanent polarization Jr and thermal stability have been effectively improved since Y2Fe14B shows relatively high saturation magnetization Ms and a positive temperature coefficient of HA over a certain temperature range.In addition,RE element segregation has been confirmed,La prefers to enter into the grain boundaries than Ce and Y prefers to remain in the 2∶14∶1 phase.Based on these understanding,a series of melt-spun(Ce,La,Y)-Fe-B alloys have been designed.A relatively good combination of magnetic properties with maximum energy product(BH)max=7.4 MGOe,Hcj=400 kA/m,and Jr=0.63 T has been obtained in[(Ce0.8La0.2)0.7Y0.3]17Fe78B6 alloy,together with high Curie temperature(Tc=488 K)and low temperature coefficients of remanence(α=-0.255％/K)and coercivity(β=-0.246％/K).
