Abstract
Direct-current joule heating is exploited to reduce the brittleness of ferromagnetic Fe73.5Nb3Cu1S13.5B9 nanocrystallized from the amorphous state. An ordering process occurring before nanocrystallization is si ngled out and shown to be responsible for sample embrittlement and mag netic-permeability degradation. The process is partially avoided by pr operly choosing the heating conditions. Nanocrystalline ribbon strips having substantially higher ductility than furnace-annealed samples, a nd maintaining excellent soft magnetic properties, are easily obtained .
