Influence of Hot Compaction on Microstructure and Magnetic Properties of Mechanically Alloyed Fe(Co)-based Amorphous Compositions

Amorphous Fe75Nb10B15 and (Fe70Co30)75Nb10B15 alloys were prepared by mechanical alloying from the elemental constituents and hot compacted at different temperatures within the supercooled liquid region. After compaction, the microstructure studied by X-ray diffraction shows an increase in the cryst...

Descripción
Sumario:Amorphous Fe75Nb10B15 and (Fe70Co30)75Nb10B15 alloys were prepared by mechanical alloying from the elemental constituents and hot compacted at different temperatures within the supercooled liquid region. After compaction, the microstructure studied by X-ray diffraction shows an increase in the crystalline fraction for both compositions. Magnetic properties and magnetic entropy change of compacted samples of the Co-free alloy were enhanced with respect to the powder sample, meanwhile, a deterioration in these properties was observed for the Co containing alloy after compaction. Both changes could be ascribed to an enrichment in boron in the amorphous phase.
