In order to solve the problem of the magnetic property deterioration of the amorphous cores annealed under high absolute water content condition, the deterioration mechanism was studied by using the SEM and X-ray diffraction equipment. The experimental results indicate that the magnetic properties deterioration of the amorphous cores is mainly related with the oxidation of the amorphous cores. It has been found that the oxidation occurred on the surface of the annealed amorphous materials. What’s more, the oxidation formed at the defects of the amorphous materials in priority. Thus the surface quality has a major impact on the oxidation and the magnetic properties deterioration. By analysis of the possibility of the chemical reaction, it is believed that the oxidation is caused by the Fe or B reaction with H2O. With the holding time increased, the oxides size and quantity increased. To reduce the influence of the H2O in the air on the magnetic properties deterioration of the amorphous materials during heat treatment, the experiment by aerating the N2 to the heat treatment furnace was performed. The experiment result proves that the magnetic properties of the amorphous cores were improved during annealing in N2, which almost reaches the same level of the amorphous cores annealed under low absolute water content condition.
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.
