Phase transformation, thermal behavior, and magnetic study of new (FeSiBP)100-XCuX glassy alloys obtained by melt-spinning in air

In the current work, a new variation of the FeSiBPCu system with good glass forming ability and soft magnetic properties was developed and investigated. The effect of copper addition on the FeSiBP base alloy was studied in the system (Fe 0.77 Si 0.08 B 0.1 P 0.05 ) 100-x Cu x with x  = 0, 0.25, 0.5,...

Description
Summary:In the current work, a new variation of the FeSiBPCu system with good glass forming ability and soft magnetic properties was developed and investigated. The effect of copper addition on the FeSiBP base alloy was studied in the system (Fe 0.77 Si 0.08 B 0.1 P 0.05 ) 100-x Cu x with x  = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 at%. Microstructural evolution upon the annealing process was evaluated by XRD and TEM, revealing the formation of α-Fe(Si), Fe 2 B and Fe 3 (B,P) crystalline phases. VSM allowed to determine that the combination of chemical composition and microstructure with the best soft magnetic properties after the annealing corresponds with the alloy with 0.75% Cu. In addition, activation energy for glass transition and the first crystallization event were calculated using the Kissinger method. The research findings demonstrated that maintaining the relationship between the main elements, it is possible to keep the good glass forming ability with the possibility of developing a nanocrystalline structure with soft magnetic performance.
