Abstract

Abstract:

This work aims to investigate the effects of high magnetic field annealing (HMFA) on the precipitation of α-Fe from Fe_84-_xSi₄B₁₂₊_x (x = 1, 3) amorphous precursors. Isothermal annealing process for Fe₈₁Si₄B₁₅ and Fe₈₃Si₄B₁₃ amorphous ribbons has been performed with and without the magnetic field. The magnetic field shows the effects of increasing the nucleation rate and decreasing the grain size of α-Fe crystals simultaneously, during the crystallization processes of the investigated amorphous alloys. By applying HMF, α-Fe crystals with more homogeneous distribution and smaller grain size are achieved in the amorphous matrix, which is crucial helpful to improve the magnetic properties for Fe-Si-B amorphous alloys. The mechanism of HMFA affecting the crystallization microstructure is also discussed in the present work.

Key words: High magnetic field, Crystallization, α-Fe, Nucleation, Grain size, Atomic diffusion
