Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Ti and V additions on the magnetic properties of nanostructured Fe–Sn alloys synthesized via a ball milling process. The structural properties, morphological features, and magnetic behavior of the resulting nanostructured materials were analyzed using various characterization techniques, including scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and vibrating sample magnetometer. After subjecting the samples to a grinding time of 10 h, XRD analysis revealed the presence of characteristic peaks corresponding to FeSn phase. The average crystallite size ranged from 51 to 18 nm, while the lattice strain was measured between 0.184% and 0.259%. Interestingly, the grinding process led to an increase in coercivity, remanence magnetization, and squareness of the nanostructured FeSn samples, accompanied by a decrease in saturation magnetization. In the case of the nanostructured FeSnTiV samples, the addition of Ti or V to FeSn resulted in a reduction in saturation magnetization. Conversely, when both Ti and V were added, the saturation magnetization increased. However, the inclusion of Ti, V, or Ti-V compounds resulted in a decrease in coercivity, remanence magnetization, and squareness of the samples.
