Abstract

FeCoNi medium entropy alloy was mechanically alloyed at two angular velocities, i.e., 500 and 300 rpm, utilizing a high-energy planetary ball mill. The energy transfer criteria, phase, and microstructural evolution during the milling mechanism were described and analyzed by kinematics, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and transmission electron microscopy. The results revealed that the total energy transferred during mechanical alloying was near ~ 4.635 times greater than FeCoNi-300 rpm. However, the structural analysis showed the γ-FCC phase in the case of FeCoNi-500 rpm and α-BCC + γ-FCC phases in case of FeCoNi-300 rpm. The magnetic properties were studied at 300 K and presented an excellent soft magnetic behavior with saturation magnetization of 124.86 emu/g and coercivity of 15.39 Oe in the case of FeCoNi-500 rpm. Furthermore, temperature-dependent magnetization measurements were also carried out and fitted with the modified Bloch model and Bloch and Curie–Weiss law-modified model. The results revealed that there is the existence of a significant ferromagnetic phase in the case of FeCoNi-300 rpm.
