Abstract
The soft magnetic properties of Fe-6.5wt.%Si alloy powders produced via high pressure gas atomization under different powder sizes, environments (atmospheric and vacuum) and heat-treatment were presented by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), respectively. It is found that the soft magnetic properties of powder gradually grow up as the increasing of the powder size under atmospheric and vacuum environments. However, the using of vacuum environment has an optimal capacity to strengthening the properties rather than atmospheric environment. The heat-treatment of 1000°C for 2 hours offers considerable potential for improving the soft magnetic properties of the powders.
