Structural and Magnetic Relaxation of Fe61Co10Y8Mo1B20 Bulk Amorphous Alloy Obtained Using Two Methods

Bulk amorphous Fe61Co10Y8Mo1B20 alloys in the form of plates have been prepared using two methods: suction casting and injection casting. The structure of the as cast samples have been studied using Mossbauer spectroscopy. The obtained Mossbauer spectra are typical for materials of amorphous structure. In the hyperfine field distributions obtained from the Mossbauer spectra analysis, there are variations between the probability of occurrence of magnetic atoms around central atom. Then, magnetic susceptibility disaccommodation has been measured for the tested samples. These measurements indicate that the structural relaxation in the studied samples occur at the elementary level. Injection casting method for the tested alloy determines, in the material volume, the formation of more point relaxators in the form of free volume.
