In this paper, we studied the grain size and volume fraction change of [Formula: see text]-Fe(Si) nanocrystalline phase as a function of Cu, Mo and Si content in Fe[Formula: see text]Cu[Formula: see text]Mo3Si[Formula: see text]B9, Fe[Formula: see text]Cu1Mo[Formula: see text]Si[Formula: see text]B9, Fe[Formula: see text]Cu1Mo3Si[Formula: see text]B[Formula: see text], and also the annealing temperature and time in Fe[Formula: see text]Cu1Mo3Si[Formula: see text]B9 alloy. Cu is an element promoting ultrafine structure and crystallization progresses, it causes the grain size of the [Formula: see text]-Fe(Si) phase to decrease suddenly, the volume fraction of [Formula: see text]-Fe(Si) phase to increase only by adding 0.5 at.% Cu. Also, Mo causes the grain size of [Formula: see text]-Fe(Si) phase to decrease like Cu, while suppressing the increase of the volume fraction of [Formula: see text]-Fe(Si) phase, Si has no little effect on the grain size of [Formula: see text]-Fe(Si) phase, diffuses into the inner part of [Formula: see text]-Fe(Si) phase upto Si 13.5 at.%, but suddenly increases grain size above Si 13.5 at.%. The microstructure of Fe[Formula: see text]Cu1Mo3Si[Formula: see text]B9 alloy is nearly completed at 520[Formula: see text]C for about 20 min, the grain size is approximately 13.8–14.1 nm, the volume fraction of [Formula: see text]-Fe(Si) phase is within 61–66%, initial permeability at 1 kHz is within 59,800–61,100.

Microstructure of Fe -based amorphous and nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloy has been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electronic microscopy (TEM) and Doppler broadening positron annihilation technique (PAT). Doppler broadening measurement reveals that amorphous alloys (Finemet, Type I) which can form a nanocrystalline phase have more defects (free volume) than alloys (Metglas, Type II) which cannot form this microstructure. XRD and TEM characterization indicates that the nanocrystallization of amorphous Finemet alloy occurs at 460°C, where nanocrystallites of α- Fe with an average grain size of a few nanometers are formed in an amorphous matrix. With increasing annealing temperature up to 500°C, the average grain size increases up to around 12 nm. During the annealing of Finemet alloy, it has been demonstrated that positron annihilates in quenched-in defect, crystalline nanophase and amorphous-nanocrystalline interfaces. The change of line shape parameter S with annealing temperature in Finemet alloy is mainly due to the structural relaxation, the pre-nucleation of Cu nucleus and the nanocrystallization of α- Fe ( Si ) phase during annealing. This study throws new insights into positron behavior in the nanocrystallization of metallic glasses, especially in the presence of single or multiple nanophases embedded in the amorphous matrix.

AbstractDispersion strengthening of the most wear-resistant soft magnetic alloy Sendust (Fe-9.5 wt.%Si -5.5 wt.% Al, HV=5000 MPa) by carbide and boride phases allowed to increase its wear-resistance by a factor of 2 to 3. Hardness of the dispersion strengthened alloys is HV=5500–6250 MPa. The changes in grain size, ordering and hardness of the Sendust and two dispersion strengthened alloys have been studied after spinning and various regimes of laser melting. Both types of rapid solidification caused a significant decrease of both the solid solution grain size and the size of carbide and boride phases. While spinning only significantly decreased the amount of ordered Fe3(Si,Al) phase in all the alloys, laser melting completely suppressed the ordering. The hardness of the boride strengthened alloy increased up to 7550 MPa after laser melting.

The structure and physical properties of the Fe72.5Cu1Nb2Mo1.5Si14B9 nanocrystalline alloy have been studied both in terms of dynamics, using thermomagnetic analysis and statics, using specimens subjected to a complete course of heat treatment at the specified annealing temperature. In the course of nanocrystallization, there was a peak detected on the curve of permeability, that peak appeared several minutes later than the heat production peak. The permeability peak occurrence can be related to the formation of a sufficiently large amount of the crystalline ferromagnetic phase α-FeSi followed by saturating it with silicon due to diffusion.

Nickel-based alloy is an important class of magnetic materials that have high permeability, large saturation and remnant magnetization, low hysteresis loss and low coercivity. These properties vary with the grain size, shape, magnetic domains and orientation. As the grain approaches nanoscale, an important averaging of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy over many grains coupled within an exchange length results in a significant increase of the magnetic softness and the effect of the internal thermal energy becomes more pronounced. The crystalline Ni-Fe-Cu-Cr system processed by high-energy ball milling (HEBM) and metal injection moulding (MIM)were investigated using TEM and SEM. The average grain size of the HEBM samples was found to be in the order of several tens of nanometers while those of the MIM are in the order of tens of micrometers. The magnetic properties of the HEBM and MIM samples were also investigated. The magnetic properties of the HEBM samples are significantly ‘softer’ magnetically when compared to the MIM samples. The coercivity (Hc) of MIM sample is 37.5 Oe while the HEBM sample is 17.5 Oe. More remarkably, the initial permeability (µi) of the HEBM sample is an order higher than the MIM sample 2184 and 225 Oe respectively.
