Co-Gd-Sm alloys were made by calcium co-reduction of mixtures of Gd
2O
3and Sm
2O
3in the presence of cobalt powder. Both the base alloy (Co
5Gd
0.4Sm
0.6) and the sintering additive (Co
7Gd
0.8Sm
1.2) were made by this lower cost R/D process. Die-pressed magnets with a reversible temperature coefficient of magnetization of -0.004 %/°C and an energy product of 9.9 MGOe were made. These magnets performed well in a TWT stack. Co-Ho and Co-Er alloys were also made by the calcium reduction of their oxides. And, one Co-Ho-Sm magnet made from ingot material had a

MGOe and a reversible coefficient equal to zero near room temperature.
