Abstract

This work emphases on the effect of P/B ratio in Fe80B14−xPxSi5C1 (x = 0, 1, 2, & 3 at%) amorphous alloys on the thermal stability, soft magnetic characteristics, and magnetostriction properties. The addition of P in Fe80B14−xPxSi5C1 (x = 0, 1, 2, & 3 at%) amorphous alloys has a significant positive influence on the GFA. The addition of P element enhances the resistance to crystallization of amorphous alloys and broaden the optimal annealing temperatures range. The coercivity (Hc) of the Fe80B14−xPxSi5C1 (x = 0, 1, 2, & 3 at%) amorphous alloys is reduced from 15.6 to 9.03 A/m. The Fe80Si5B12C1P2 amorphous alloy exhibits excellent soft magnetic characteristics at the annealing temperature of 613 K for 3 min, with a Bs of 1.59 T and Hc of 3.8 A/m. Mössbauer spectroscopy have been used to investigate the origin of the variations in the Bs and Hc of the amorphous alloy after annealing. The saturation magnetostriction coefficient (λs) of Fe80B14−xPxSi5C1 (x = 0, 1, 2, & 3 at%) amorphous alloy decreases after P element doping and annealing treatment, which can be used to explain the change of Hc.
