Abstract  The outstanding hard-magnetic properties are reported of Sm$_3$Fe$_{28.1-x}$Co$_x$Mo$_{0.9}$ compounds with x=12, 14, 16. In this alloy system, only a small amount of Mo is needed to stabilize the 3:29 structure so that the magnetic properties are not seriously affected by the presence of this nonmagnetic element. Substitution of Co for Fe leads to a significant increase of the magnetic anisotropy, and for x≥14 the easy magnetization direction changes from easy plane to the easy axis. In this alloy system, the compound Sm$_3$Fe$_{12.1}$Co$_{16}$Mo$_{0.9}$ is a very promising candidate for permanent magnet applications. Its room temperature saturation magnetization ($\mu_0M_s=1.5$ T) and anisotropy field ($B_{\rm an}=6.5$ T) are comparable to the values for Nd$_2$Fe$_{14}$B ($\mu_0M_s=1.6$ T and $B_{\rm an}=7$ T). However, the Curie temperature of Sm$_3$Fe$_{12.1}$Co$_{16}$Mo$_{0.9}$ is 1020 K, which is appreciably higher than that for Nd$_2$Fe$_{14}$B ($T_{\rm C}=588$ K).
Keywords:  permanent magnet material      anisotropy      saturation magnetization      Curie temperature
