The thermal and magnetic properties of the ternary Fe-B-C and quaternary Fe-B-C-Si amorphous alloys have been investigated. It has been discovered that the ternary Fe-B-C amorphous alloys with compositions close to Fe79.3B14.3C6.4 exhibit a glass transition prior to crystallization on heating. The alloys also have high mass magnetization of 176–178 A m2/kg at room temperature. In addition, the glass-forming ability (GFA) of the alloys is significantly enhanced by the addition of 4 at% Si while maintaining high magnetization of approximately 170 A m2/kg at room temperature. In was found that the Fe23(B, C)6 phase (Cr23C6-type) is formed during crystallization of the quaternary Fe-B-C-Si alloys with the large GFA. It was also confirmed that the amorphous powders of Fe-Cr-B-C-Si alloys could be produced by a conventional water atomization method and exhibit the low core losses of 305–362 kW/m3 at 100 kHz and 100 mT. The quaternary Fe-B-C-Si amorphous alloys with high GFA, high magnetization and low core losses are suitable for a core material of various magnetic components.
The various properties of the ternary Fe-B-C and quaternary Fe-B-C-Si amorphous alloys have been investigated. It was discovered that some ternary Fe-B-C amorphous alloys with the Fe content close to that of the Cr 23 C 6-type metastable Fe 23 (B, C) 6 phase exhibit a glass transition prior to crystallization on heating. The alloys with the glass transition also have high mass magnetization of 176~178 A m 2 /kg at room temperature in an as-quenched state. In addition, the glass-forming ability (GFA) of the alloys is significantly enhanced by the addition of 4 at% Si and by adjusting the composition toward the slightly lower Fe and higher B side while maintaining high magnetization of approximately 170 A m 2 /kg at room temperature in an as-quenched state. It was also confirmed that the amorphous powders of Fe-Cr-B-C-Si alloys could be produced by a conventional water atomization method and exhibit the low core losses of 305~362 kW/m 3 at 100 kHz and 100 mT. The quaternary Fe-B-C-Si amorphous alloys with high GFA, high magnetization and low core losses are suitable for a core material of various magnetic components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
