Lk. Varga et al., THE ROLE OF NUCLEATING ELEMENT ADDITIVES IN THE CRYSTALLIZATION AND SOFT-MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF FE-ZR-B BASED AMORPHOUS-ALLOYS, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 226, 1997, pp. 740-744
The role of nucleating additives (Cu, Ag, Au, Pd, Pt, Sb and, Ga) in t
he formation of nanocrystalline structure and in the improvement of so
ft magnetic properties is investigated in Fe86Zr7B6M1 type alloys by c
alorimetric (DSC), thermomagnetic (initial permeability) and Mossbauer
spectroscopic studies. It is found that the nucleating additives lowe
r the temperature of the first crystallization step and improve the so
ft magnetic properties due to the refined nanostructure of the crystal
lization products. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
