composite annealed at 1000 oC exhibits the maximum energy product (BH)
max and saturation magnetization (M

). The magnetic interaction between two different magnetic phases in the composite has been explored by using the Henkel plot study with the help of isothermal remanent magnetization (IRM) and direct current demagnetization (DCD) M–H curves. The exchange coupling between soft and hard magnetic phases in the composite is also examined by the derivative of magnetization with the magnetic field.
