Abstract
The phase transformation and magnetic hysteresis properties of melt-spun Fe41Pd41B8Si6P4 ribbons subjected to the annealing at temperatures of 500–550 °C were studied after holding for 0.1–60.0 h by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermomagnetic analysis. The additions of P, B and Si to the FePd alloy allowed us to achieve the coercivity of 124 kA·m−1, which is 2.6 times higher than that of the melt-spun ribbons of the binary equiatomic FePd alloy. The high-coercivity Fe41Pd41B8Si6P4 alloy is nanocrystalline and is composed of the ordered L10-phase grains approximately 40 nm in size and inclusions of the Fe2(P, B) and Pd2(Si, B) phases. The coercivity kinetics is controlled by the phase transformation which can be divided into three stages: transformation from the bcc structure to nanosized regions of the fcc and Fe2P phases; transformation from the fcc to L10 nanosized regions with somewhat different degrees of tetragonality and their ordering; and extensive growth of the weight fraction of L10 phase from the fcc nanosized regions. P and B atoms occupy interstitial sites in the iron plane of L10 lattice, thus decreasing its Curie temperature (TC).
