A substantial increase in initial permeability as well as maximum permeability in 53% and 58% nickel—iron alloys after annealing at below the Curie temperature under a magnetic field was obtained. The permeability at 40 G was 38 000, and corresponding maximum permeability was 320 000. The response to magnetic annealing was observed to be dependent on secondary recrystallized textures, of which two kinds were observed. The texture of which the central cube pole of the cube texture rotated around [100] axis parallel to rolling direction showed good response to the magnetic annealing, while the texture of which the central cube pole of the cube texture rotated around [111] axis showed poor response to the magnetic annealing. The percentage increase of the permeability at 40 G is also shown to be dependent on the squareness of the hysteresis loop of specimens before the magnetic annealing. Increase in the permeability at 40 G could be explained by considering the relationship between the induced uniaxial anisotropy and the crystal anisotropy, and also by the reduced magnetostriction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
