Recrystallization behavior and magnetostriction under pre-compressive stress of Fe–Ga–B sheets

Prospects of Using Fe-Ga Alloys for Magnetostrictive Applications at High Frequencies

“…It should be noted that the creation of a texture of this type in a bcc alloy is a rather difficult task. In recent years, attempts have been made to actively solve this problem by studying the mechanisms of texture formation in Fe-Ga [53,56] and the selection of deformation and recrystallization parameters [52,53,55,[57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65]. In terms of technology, there are two approaches to creating desirable texture in Fe-Ga sheets.…”

“…The most popular direction is the creation of the so-called Goss texture {110}<100> and close to it using the technology of secondary recrystallization [52,64,[66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73]. This technology has previously proven itself well in the production of grain-oriented FeSi sheets and has also shown its effectiveness in the case of Fe-Ga. Its essence lies in the introduction of special nanosized inhibitors into the composition of a binary alloy, which are usually carbides [52], borides [61], or sulfides [74]. Distributed along grain boundaries, they inhibit grain growth during primary recrystallization, thereby inhibiting the development of unfavorable texture components, which grow most intensively under normal conditions.…”
