The results reveal that (Nd1-2xCexYx)14.5Fe79.3B6.2 annealed alloys show (NdCeY)2Fe14B phase with the tetragonal Nd2Fe14B-typed structure (space group P42\/mnm) and rich-RE (\u03b1-Nd) phase, while (Nd1-2xCexYx)14.5Fe79.3B6.2 ribbons prepared by melt-spun technology are composed of (NdCeY)2Fe14B phase, \u03b1-Nd phase and \u03b1-Fe phase, except for the ribbon with x = 0.25, which consists of additional CeFe2 phase. On the other hand, magnetic properties of (Nd1-2xCexYx)14.5Fe79.3B6.2 melt-spun ribbons were measured by a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The measured results show that the remanence (Br) and the coercivity (Hcj) of the melt-spun ribbons decrease with the increase of Ce and Y substitutions, while the maximum magnetic energy product ((BH)max) of the ribbons decreases and then increases. The tendency of magnetic properties of the ribbons could result from the co-substitution of Ce and Y for Nd in Nd2Fe14B phase and different phase constitutions. It was found that the Hcj of the ribbon with x = 0.20 is relatively high to be 9.01 kOe, while the (BH)max of the ribbon with x = 0.25 still reaches to be 9.06 MGOe. It suggests that magnetic properties of Nd-Fe-B ribbons with Ce and Y co-substitution could be tunable through alloy composition and phase formation to fabricate novel Nd-Fe-B magnets with low costs and high performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma14143992","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,16]],"date-time":"2021-07-16T10:52:58Z","timestamp":1626432778000},"page":"3992","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Phase Formation, Microstructure, and Magnetic Properties of Nd14.5Fe79.3B6.2 Melt-Spun Ribbons with Different Ce and Y Substitutions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Qingjin","family":"Ke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Key Laboratory of Information Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Guilin University of Electronic Technology, Guilin 541004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Feilong","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Key Laboratory of Information Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Guilin University of Electronic Technology, Guilin 541004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shengxi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Key Laboratory of Information Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Guilin University of Electronic Technology, Guilin 541004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maohua","family":"Rong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Key Laboratory of Information Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Guilin University of Electronic Technology, Guilin 541004, China"},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Electronic Information Materials and Devices, Ministry of Education, Guilin University of Electronic Technology, Guilin 541004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qingrong","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Key Laboratory of Information Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Guilin University of Electronic Technology, Guilin 541004, China"},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Electronic Information Materials and Devices, Ministry of Education, Guilin University of Electronic Technology, Guilin 541004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Key Laboratory of Information Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Guilin University of Electronic Technology, Guilin 541004, China"},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Electronic Information Materials and Devices, Ministry of Education, Guilin University of Electronic Technology, Guilin 541004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2083","DOI":"10.1063\/1.333572","article-title":"New material for permanent magnets on a base of Nd and Fe","volume":"55","author":"Sagawa","year":"1984","journal-title":"J.
