The causes of reversible variation of coercivity in alloys for permanent magnets as a result of cyclic heat treatments are analyzed including the effect of magnetostatic interaction between microvolumes on the processes of magnetization reversal and on the magnitude of the reversibility of the coercivity. A scheme of the processes occurring in alloys of the Sm – Co – Cu – Fe – Zr system is suggested, which makes it possible to explain logically the mechanism of the “damage – restoration” phenomenon.
