Thermo-Physical Parameters Determination of Nano-Crystalline Fe72.5Cu1Nb2Mo1.5Si14B9 Alloy for Twisted Magnetic Cores Heat Treatment Optimization

Abstract

Thermophysical parameters of Finemet-type initially amorphous alloy produced using rapid quenching technique were determined. The temperature intervals of phase and structure changes have been obtained using calorimetry and non-ambient X-ray diffraction methods. The electric resistance data were recalculated to alloy electrical conductivity which it was recalculated to heat conductivity using the Wiedemann–Franz law. Resulting parameters were used for heat processes simulation that occurs in amorphous material of built-up transformer core during annealing in nanocrystallization temperature interval. Heat treatment of different sizes twisted magnetic cores was optimized.
