Neutron diffraction analysis on FINEMET alloys
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neutron diffraction has been used to study in situ the nanocrystallization process of Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si22.52xBx (x55, 9, and 12! amorphous alloys. Nanocrystallization results in a decrease of both the silicon content and the grain size of the Fe~Si! phase with increasing value of x. By comparing the radial distribution function peak areas with those predicted for ideal bcc and DO3 structure, it can be concluded that the ordering in DO3 Fe~Si! crystals increases with the silicon content. © 1998 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-8979~98!02424-4#

The development of Fe73.5Si13.5B9Nb3Cu1 ~FINEMET! by Yoshizawa et al. and Fe88Zr7B4Cu1 ~NANOPERM! by Inoue et al. have shown that nanocrystalline microstructures can play an important role in the production of materials with outstanding soft magnetic properties. The FINEMET and NANOPERM materials rely on nanocrystalline a-Fe3Si and a-Fe, respectively, for their soft magnetic properties. The mag...
متن کاملStructure of Molten Sn-Zn-Alloys by Means of Neutron Diffraction
As a continuation of diffraction work on melts from eutectic binary systems such as Al-Sn [1], Au-Co [2], and Bi-Cu [3] an investigation of melts from the eutectic system Sn-Zn by means of neutron diffraction will be described in the present work. The liquidus lines in the constitution diagrams of these systems always show a point of inflection, so th a t segregation tendency in molten state is...
متن کاملStudy of Crystallization Process in V-substituted Finemet Alloys
Nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloys can be produced by partial crystallization of amorphous precursor. The aim of this paper was to study the influence of Nb substitution by vanadium (V) in Fe73.5Cu1Nb3-xVxB9Si13.5 (x=1.5, 3) alloys on their crystallization process and the glass forming ability because the growth of the α-Fe(Si) crystals is reduced by (Nb) diffusion barrier. Amorphous ribbons ...

The kinetics of nanocrystallization of a Mn-doped FINEMET alloy from its amorphous precursor is reported. The alloy studied was of a composition (Fe1 Mn )73 5Nb3CuSi13 5B9 where = 0 05. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed that -FeSi is the product of primary nanocrystallization. Crystallization kinetics were studied using time-dependent magnetization, ( ), as a measure of the volume fraction crys...

The amorphous alloys Ti 6 7 Si 3 3 , V 6 7Si 3 3 , and Cr , 7 Si 3 3 were produced by sputtering. Their structure was investigated by X-ray and neutron diffraction. X-ray diffraction showed that the structure of the three metallic glasses is not isomorphous. Neutron diffraction showed that S i -S i atomic pairs occur preferentially with distances distinctly larger than the atomic diameter of th...
