Crystallization kinetics and soft magnetic properties in metalloid-free (Fe, Co)90Zr10 amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys

Abstract: Microstructure and magnetic properties of metalloid-free (Fe100-xCox)90Zr10 amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys were characterized. Devitrification of these amorphous alloys occurs in two overlapped transformations leading to the formation of a-Fe(Co) and Fe(Co)Zr2 phases. Constant local Avrami exponents have been found for each individual process. Although Co-free alloy shows a larger grain size, crystalline fractions are similar for both alloys after equivalent annealing. Good soft magnetic properties at ro… Show more

“…The absolute value of the switching field increases from 430 A m −1 at room temperature up to 770 A m −1 at 403 K. Above this temperature, the magnetic bistability is lost due to the transition of the amorphous matrix into the paramagnetic state. Such a huge variation (more than 79%) in a rather narrow temperature range results from the loss of coupling between the ferromagnetic grains with increasing temperature, which has been observed in soft magnetic nanocrystalline materials . In general, the exchange ferromagnetic length L ex in nanocrystalline materials is expressed as Lex=true(γAtrue〈Ktrue〉true)12, where γ is the scaling parameter, A is the exchange stiffness constant and <K> is the average structural anisotropy.…”

“…This can be done analogously as for n* but substituting in Eq. (10) X for [20], the Avrami exponents of the first process could be explained due to three dimensional growth controlled by diffusion for both alloys but with the presence of quenched in nuclei for the Co-free alloy. The low values of the Avrami exponent of the second process in both alloys, ~1.7, could be understood as due to the presence of quenched in nuclei of the intermetallic phase or to a sudden saturation of the nucleation sites for this phase.…”

“…This analysis has been applied to the crystallization of different amorphous Fe(Co)-Zr [75,76] and Fe-Nb [77] alloys. Moreover, the assumption of multiple overlapped microprocesses reproduces the low Avrami exponents found in nanocrystallization.…”
