The magnetization creep and the thermal aftereffect of sintered Co
5Sm samples were measured in the neighborhood of the remanent state. The temperature dependence of the thermal aftereffect constant S
vand the field excursion dependence of S
vand of the creep effect were investigated. With a high speed, low drift SQUID-system and the aid of a precision temperature controller, magnetization changes of the order of 10
-6of the remanent magnetization M
rcould be measured. The creep effect was found to follow a

law for

, where n is the number of minor hysteresis cycles. Starting from the sheared remament state however, for field amplitudes up to 100 A/cm, a creep effect could not be detected, i.e.

is smaller than 10
-6, M
r. For the investigated specimens the thermal aftereffect constant S
vin the interval 220K - 300K was found to decrease with increasing temperature.
