The temperature dependence of the saturation magnetization and the first and second anisotropy constants have been determined for alloys in the system PrxSm1-xCo5. The alloys studied were spheres cut from single crystals grown by the Bridgeman drop technique. Measurements were made on a Foner vibrating sample magnetometer. The anisotropy constants were calculated statistically from hard direction magnetization data by the method of Sucksmith and Thompson (1954). Ms, K1, and K2 for PrCo5 were found to be larger than previously reported values of low temperatures. PrCo5 and Pr.75Sm.25Co5 are both magnetically easy come at low temperatures. K2 increases with increasing Sm content in the Pr-rich alloys. However, K2 values for the Sm-rich alloys are anomalously large.
