DyFeb>6b>Alb>6b> with the tetragonal I4/mmm structure akin to ThMnb>12b> type has been prepared by melt spinning. It shows ferrimagnetic ordering at 340K. At low temperature, a further magnetic transition takes place which results in vanishing spontaneous magnetisation below 40K. By using high pulsed fields, a field-induced spin-reorientation is found below 200K. Mössbauer 57Fe-spectra are composed of sextets with asymmetrical and broadened lines. The results suggest the presence of competing exchange interactions within the Fe-sublattices in addition to the antiferromagnetic rare-earth-Fe couplings.
