Dilatometric analysis of the process of the nanocrystallization of Fe72.5Cu1Nb2Mo1.5Si14B9 soft magnetic alloy

详细

The process of the nanocrystallization of magnetically soft Fe_72.5Cu₁Nb₂Mo_1.5Si₁₄B₉ alloy has been studied using dilatometry and thermomagnetic analysis, together with structural investigations. It has been shown that the amount of nanocrystalline phase precipitated upon heating of the amorphous precursor is in good agreement with a shortening of the ribbon length in the course of crystallization. Thermal expansion at the different stages of heating and cooling depends on the structural and phase states, as well as on the magnetic state of the alloy. The numerical value of the coefficient of linear thermal expansion decreases with an increase in the fraction of the ferromagnetic crystalline phase.
