Abstract
Magnetic properties and crystallization behavior of nanocrystalline (Fe83.3Si4B8P4Cu0.7)100–x Al x (x=0–1.5 at%) alloys were investigated in this study. Experimental results show that coercive force decreases and saturation magnetization slightly decreases with the increase of Al content, but the glass forming ability has been improved at the same time. Crystallization behavior including the evolution of microstructure has also been studied. The growth of α-Fe precipitated from the matrix is quick when it is annealed by conventional method and the mean size of α-Fe grains increases from below 2–3 nm to 18–29 nm. Nanocrystalline (Fe83.3Si4B8P4Cu0.7)99Al1 alloy with coercive force of 8.9 A/m and saturation magnetization of 187 emu/g is probably a promising candidate in the field of soft magnetic materials.
