Lk. Varga et al., OPTIMIZATION OF THE HEAT-TREATMENT FOR THE NANOCRYSTALLINE FE-CU-NB-SI-B ALLOYS, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 30(2), 1994, pp. 552-554
A correlation was found between the saturation of silicon content of a
lpha-Fe nanocrystals and the improvement of soft magnetic properties (
initial permeability, mu(i) and power loss, P) as a function of anneal
ing time at about 550-degrees-C annealing temperature. The partially c
rystallised FINEMET has a mi(i) comparable to and a P characteristic m
uch better than those of the Co-based zero-magnetostrictive VAC-6025F
amorphous alloy.
