Magnetic Properties Of Amorphous And Nanocrystalline FeNiZrCuB Alloys

The coercive fields Hc, saturation magnetizations Js and magnetostrictions λs of the amorphous Fe86-xNixZr7Cu1B6 alloys different contents of Ni(0-86 at.%) were investigated at room temperature. Thermomagnetic analyses by means of initial AC permeability and resistivity at the amorphous and nanocrystalline states of the investigated alloys were performed up to 5500 C. It was found that additions of Ni up to x = 33 at.% cause an increase of Hc, Js, λs. Additions of Ni (x = 0 - 43) cause drastic increase of the Curie temperature from 71 deg C for x 0at.% to 373 deg C for x = 43at.% of Ni. Higher concentration of Ni causes a decrease of Hc, Js, λs and Tc. (Authors)
