Abstract
Structure,magnetic properties and ductile of melt-spun Fe83-xSi4B13-yCyCux(x=0-1.7;y=0-8)alloys were investigated.The addition of 1.7 at.%Cu in a Fe83Si4B13 amorphous alloy generates abundant α-Fe crystals by providing nucleation sites,and further C doping promotes the growth of the crystals by suitable turning amorphous-forming ability,hence they increase saturation magnetic flux density(Bs)and slightly worse magnetic softness of the as-spun alloys.The as-spun Fe81.3Si4B7C6Cu1.7 alloy possesses a combined structure of a fully amorphous layer in wheel side surface and predominating nanocrystalline structure with gradually enlarged α-Fe crystal,whose average size and volume fraction are determined as about 12 nm and 32%,respectively,therefore superior soft magnetic properties and ductile with a high Bs of 1.74 T,coercivity(Hc)of 32.7 A/m,effective permeability(μe,at 1 kHz)of 3200 and high relatively strain at fracture(εf)of 3.61%can be achieved directly in this alloy by only using melt-spinning.The annealing at 578 K releases internal stress,promotes the growth of the α-Fe crystals and remains the amorphous layer of the Fe81.3Si4B7C6Cu1.7 alloy,then improves the soft magnetic properties and maintains the superior ductile with increasing the Bs and μe to 1.80 T and 14,100,respectively,lowering the Hc to 9.4 A/m and slightly reducing the εf to 2.39%.The combination of superior soft magnetic properties and ductile and simplified synthesis process entitles the Fe-Si-B-C-Cu nanocrystalline alloys great potentials in high performance electromagnetic applications.
