Influence of annealing treatment on soft magnetic properties of Fe76Si10B10Cr2Y2 amorphous ribbon

Abstract

In this study, the influence of annealing treatment on soft magnetic properties of Fe76Si10B10Cr2Y2 amorphous ribbon was investigated. Alloy ribbons were synthesized by the single roller melt-spinning method. The magnetic measurements of the as-cast ribbon were inspected, including M-s, H-c and T-c. The value of Ms was 1.25 T, H-c was 22.84 A/m and T-c was 564.4 K. The soft magnetic properties of the optimum parameter for the annealing temperature and annealing time was at 500 degrees C for 3 min, M-s was 1.37 T and H-c was 1.11 A/m. Therefore, the soft magnetic properties of the Fe76Si10B10Cr2Y2 alloy ribbon was significantly improved through the annealing treatment. (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier B.V.
