Description

Steels with high amounts of silicon are used in electrical applications due to their low magnetostriction, high electrical resistivity and reduced energy losses, but they exhibit poor formability. The slow positron beam of Gent is used to investigate defects in different deformed FeSi alloys. It was found that the concentration of defects for the alloys deformed at high temperatures are different from the ones related to the alloys deformed at room temperature. These results are correlated to the results of positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS)
