A crystalline ternary alloy of nickel, cobalt and boron has been found to have multiple uses. The alloy has a composition of, by weight, 50-75% nickel, 25-50% cobalt, and 1-5% boron. Structurally, the alloy consists of 50-75% Ni2B crystals and 25-50% Co2B crystals contained in a matrix of nickel cobalt. The alloy has been found to have high catalytic capabilities and decreases the energy requirements for the electrolytic production of gasses such as hydrogen and halogens. The alloy also has good magnetic properties indicating that it can be used as a coating for a magnetic data storage media, or a thin film for a read/write head which writes to and reads from the magnetic storage media. The alloy has a magnetorestrictive coefficient that is substantially zero or negative, a magnetic saturation where 4piMs is greater than 20 KGauss, a coercivity of approximately 1.24, an anisotropy of 3.74, and a magnetic permiability in excess of 1000.
