Effect of Surfaces of FeNbCuBSiP Ribbons
Boron was partially substituted by phosphorus (3 at.%) in two Si-poor Fe-Nb-Cu-B-Si Finemets. Mostly non-significant changes were observed after vacuum annealing at 500°C, whereas equivalent Ar annealing resulted in significantly better soft-magnetic properties, which suffer from compressive surfaces stress. Possibly by hampering surface crystallization, the substitution eased the surfaces stress and reduced undesired off-axis anisotrophy at the cost of limiting the useful annealing temperature
Accents in Modern High Saturation Nanocrystalline Fe-Rich Alloys
Post processing limits for iron-rich Fe-Cu-Si-B-P high-induction rapidly-quenched ribbons have been tested. 530°C/20 min is already too much, formed borides being the essential culprit of magnetic properties deterioration. Unlike standard Si-poor Fe-Nb-Cu-B-Si Finemets, these alloys annealed even in "technical" Ar below the upper limit do not create significant squeezing surfaces
