Mechanical alloying (MA) was used to prepare pseudobinary high Pr-content Tb0.7Pr0.3Fex alloys. The structural and magnetoelastic properties were in investigated by means of x-ray diffraction and a standard strain technique. A single (Tb,Pr)Fe2 Laves phase with MgCu2-type structure for the composition Tb0.7Pr0.3Fe1.80 was synthesized by MA and subsequent annealing process. The high magnetostriction of 600 ppm was achieved at 10 kOe for the epoxy-bonded Tb0.7Pr0.3Fe1.8 composite.
