Crystallization Process of Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9

Abstract

ABSTRACTTo clarify the relation between high magnetic permeability and magnetic phases of Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9 ribbons, the process of precipitation was investigated by using the Xray diffraction, DTA, VSM and the Mössbauer spectra at various annealing temperatures. The volume fraction of each magnetic phase was estimated. The sample annealed at 853K which shows maximum permeability is composed of partially ordered Fe3Si(70%), Fe(B) solid solution(10%) and amorphous(20%) phases. The relative permeability of the sample annealed below 853K increases with increasing the volume fraction of both of the Fe3Si partially ordered and the Fe(B) solid solution phases. The relationship between tile permeability and the volume fraction is interpreted by the random anisotropy model.
