The effect of quasi‐hydrostatic pressures up to 100 kbar is investigated on the phase transitions of Fe 1− x Rh x alloys by resistivity measurements. The pressure dependence of the first order antiferromagnetic (AF) to ferromagnetic (FM) phase transformation temperature d T k /d p = 4.4 to 5 K/kbar. The pressure dependence of the second order FM to paramagnetic (PM) transition, i.e. that of the Curie‐point is d T C /d p = −0.7 K/kbar. At about 60 kbar the thermal hysteresis diminishes, and above the range of the co‐existence of three phases (AF—FM—PM) the pressure dependence of the AF—PM transition is characterized by d T /d p = 0.6 to 1.0 K/kbar. The AF—PM transition is investigated in an Ir‐substituted alloy (Fe 44 Rh 49.5 Ir 6.5 ) also, where d T /d p = 0.6 K/kbar.
