The magnetic properties of (Y,Nd)Co4B, Y(Co,Fe)4B, and YCo4(B,C) compounds have been investigated. The spin-reorientation temperature of YCo4B increases with substitution of Nd for Y and Fe for Co, but decreases with the replacement of B for C. The Curie temperature of YCo4B decreases upon substitution of Nd for Y and C for B, whereas it increases upon the introduction of Fe. The magnetic phase diagrams are given for (Y,Nd)Co4B, Y(Co,Fe)4B, and YCo4(B,C). The results show that the temperature range of the easy-axis anisotropy in YCo4B is increased by C substitution, and decreased by Nd and Fe substitution. The saturation magnetization of YCo4B increases by the introduction of Nd and Fe. Substitution of C for B changes the magnetic moment of Co only slightly. The magnetic anisotropy is increased by substitution of C for B.
