Abstract

Our experiment focused on investigating the P content dependences of the ability to form glass, the soft-magnetic properties of, and the clusters in melting Fe85−xSi4B11Px (x = 1–6), amorphous soft-magnetic alloys. The experimental results demonstrate that the alloys with proper P content (3–6 at.%) are prone to form a completely amorphous structure with a larger glass-forming ability (GFA); hence, amorphous alloys prepared by industry-grade raw materials can be well produced in an air atmosphere. The melted alloy has higher stability and larger GFA when there is no dominant cluster or when multi-species clusters coexist. The Fe82Si4B11P3 amorphous alloy exhibited a high saturation magnetic flux density of up to 1.66 T, a low coercivity of about 2.2 A/m, and a high effective permeability of more than 1.2 × 104 at 1 kHz under a field of 1 A/m. The combination of excellent soft-magnetic properties, good productivity and low cost stability suggest that the FeSiBP alloys are promising soft-magnetic materials, particularly with applications in the electronic industry.
