Sumario:In the current study, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer techniques were used to examine the impact of milling time on the microstructural and magnetic characteristics of Fe30Co20Ni20Mn20Ti10 (at%) produced via mechanical alloying. Results demonstrate that phase change is dependent on up to 30 h of milling. In terms of the hcp-Fe2Ti intermetallic and the BCC-FeCoNiMnTi supersaturated solid solution, the system maintains its two-phase structure at higher times. Additionally, the final average crystallite size was estimated to be approximately 10 nm, and the lattice strain was found to be between 0.95 and 1.15%. As a function of milling time, the magnetic properties are discussed with the microstructural and crystallographic alterations. The collected powder after 100 h of milling has an Ms value of 28 emu/g and a Hc value of 25 Am−1, which is consistent with exceptional soft magnetics. This is essentially due to the Fe2Ti intermetallic and the BCC-Fe-based solid solution production, together with the refinement of the crystallite size. Furthermore, the presence of paramagnetic Ti atoms in solid solution and the development of high densities of defects and interfaces have been connected to the low value of Ms
