In the present study the rapidly quenched Pr 9 Fe 50+x Co 13 Zr 1 Nb 4 B 23−x (x = 0, 2, 5, 8) alloy samples produced in a form of 100 mm 2 plate of various thicknesses were investigated. The X-ray diffraction revealed changes in the phase constitution of as-cast samples depending on the alloy composition and plate thickness. The presence of hard magnetic Pr 2 (Fe,Co) 14 B phase was observed in 0.5 mm thick plates of the x = 8 alloy, while fully glassy structure was shown in 0.5 mm thick plates
