Purpose: The work presents a microstructure characterization, thermal stability and soft magnetic properties analysis of Fe-based bulk metallic glasses. Design/methodology/approach: The studies were performed on bulk amorphous ribbons and rods. The amorphous structure of tested materials was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods. The thermal properties associated with crystallization temperature of the glassy samples were measured using differential thermal analysis (DTA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The magnetic properties were determined by the Maxwell-Wien bridge and VSM methods. Findings: The X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy investigations have revealed that the studied as-cast bulk metallic glasses were amorphous. Based from the XRD analysis and TEM investigations of the Fe₃₆ Co₃₆B₁₉Si₅Nb₄ rod samples, it was believed that the tested alloy can be fabricated into a bulk glassy rod with the diameter of up to 4 mm. A two stage crystallization process was observed for studied bulk amorphous alloy. The changes of Curie temperatures, crystallization temperatures and magnetic properties as a function of glassy ribbons thickness (time of solidification) were stated. The investigated magnetic properties allow to classify the studied metallic glasses as soft magnetic materials. Practical implications: The studied bulk metallic glasses are suitable materials for many electrical application in different elements of magnetic circuits and for manufacturing of sensors and precise current transformers. Originality/value: The obtained examination results confirm the utility of applied investigation methods in the microstructure, thermal and soft magnetic properties analysis of examined bulk amorphous alloys.

Subsurface properties of 57Fe81Mo9Cu1B9 metallic glass were studied by conversion electron and conversion X-ray Mössbauer spectrometry. They were applied to both surfaces of the ribbons. Deviations in structural surface features are exhibited via different contents of crystalline phases, which were identified as bcc-Fe and magnetite. The presence of small ferromagnetic particles was also suggested from magnetic measurements. An influence of irradiation with 130-keV N+ ions on surface properties of the as-quenched alloy is also discussed.

Purpose: The paper presents structure characteristics, thermal stability and soft magnetic properties analysis of Fe-based bulk metallic glass in as-cast state and after crystallization process. Design/methodology/approach: The studies were performed on Fe43Co14Ni14B20Si5Nb4 metallic glass in a form of plates and rods. The amorphous structure of tested samples was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods. The thermal stability of the glassy samples was measured using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The soft magnetic properties examination of tested material contained initial magnetic permeability and magnetic permeability relaxation measurements. Findings: The XRD and TEM investigations revealed that the studied as-cast plates and rods were amorphous. Broad diffraction halo could be observed for all tested samples, indicating the formation of a glassy phase with the diameters up to 3 mm for rods. The fracture surface of rod samples appears to consist of two different zones which might correspond with different amorphous structures of studied materials. The thermal stability parameters of rod with diameter of 3 mm, such as glass transition temperature, onset crystallization temperature and supercooled liquid area were measured by DSC to be 797 K, 854 K, 57 K, respectively. The heat treatment process of rod samples involved in crystallization of á-Fe phase and formation of iron borides at temperature above 873 K. Practical implications: The appropriate increase of annealing temperature significantly improved soft magnetic properties of examined alloy by increasing the initial magnetic permeability and decreasing the magnetic permeability relaxation. Originality/value: The success of fabrication of studied Fe-based bulk metallic glass in a form of plates and rods is important for the future progress in research and practical application of those glassy materials.

Purpose: The aim of this paper was to develop a dielectromagnetic based on nanocrystalline Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9 powder bonded with organo-silicon polymer and to investigate the powder particle size and content of polymer response of the magnetic properties. Design/methodology/approach: The dynamic magnetic properties at the frequency range from 50 Hz up to 100 kHz of nanocrystalline iron based powder cores were measured using computerized hysteresis loop tracer Remacomp C-100 and Ferrometr device. Findings: It was found from the experimental studies, that nanocrystalline powder cores proved to be suitable for high frequency applications. Their frequency dependences are comparable to that of carbonyl iron powder cores but shows smaller power losses. Research limitations/implications: Further studies should be undertaken in order to produce high density composites with good soft magnetic properties and to find a good comprise between mechanical and magnetic properties for power electronics applications. Practical implications: Developed nanocrystalline powder cores with permeability's below 100 are potential candidates for a variety of industrial applications, such as electromagnetic interference filters, radio frequency coupling devices, filter inductors and radio frequency tuning cores. Originality/value: Soft magnetic materials have recently regained interest as inductive component which is a result of better raw materials, more developed technologies and a need for the materials from electrical micromotors and low power motors for automation, robotics and other equipments. The present study complements and extends ealier investigations of polymer bonded powders.

Purpose: The idea of the paper is to study the influence of different alloying additions (Cu, Zr, Nb) on structural relaxation, crystallization, and improvement of soft magnetic properties in amorphous alloys of the type FeXSiB obtained by melt spinning technique. Design/methodology/approach: Magnetic and electric characteristics of the as quenched and successively annealed samples were determined at room temperature. Experiments were carried out by applying magnetic permeability measurements (Maxwell-Wien bridge), magnetic after effects, resistivity (four points probe), magnetostriction coefficient (infrared optical sensor) and magnetization (magnetic balance and fluxmeter). Findings: It was shown that soft magnetic properties of the examined alloys can be optimized by applying 1-h annealing at a specific temperature. The process of the improvement of soft magnetic properties is found to be diffusion controlled. The Arrhenius parameters of this process were determined by applying magnetic measurements. Research limitations/implications: The obtained results are a part of a broad area of examinations devoted to establishing of the influence of different alloying additions and thermal annealing on soft magnetic properties of amorphous alloys obtained by melt spinning technique. Practical implications: The examined alloys belong to a modern group of soft magnetic materials, which can be used as core transformers, magnetic sensors, shields of magnetic, electric and electromagnetic fields etc. The obtained results may be used for preparing soft magnetic ribbons for specific applications. Originality/value: The originality of the paper lies in examination of the improvement of soft magnetic properties effect as a diffusion-controlled process. The influence of different alloying additions on the course of this process is well established.

Purpose: The idea of the paper is to study the influence of thermal annealing and alloying additions on magnetic properties, optimization and crystallization processes in Fe76X2Si8B14 (X=Al, Cr, Mo) amorphous alloys. Design/methodology/approach: For annealed samples (1 h, Ta ranging from 300 K to 800 K) at room temperature magnetic permeability was measured by applying Maxwell-Wien bridge (frequency about 1030 Hz and magnetic field H=0.5 A/m). Magnetostriction coefficients - parallel and perpendicular were determined by applying infra-red magneto-dilatometer. Magnetization in saturation versus temperature was measured by making use of magnetic balance (field 0.5 T). Findings: It was shown that alloying additions in the examined alloys cause a decrease of the Curie temperature, an increase of magnetic permeability and magnetization in saturation. The observed ESMP (enhancement of soft magnetic properties) effect in the examined alloys can be attributed to the so-called relaxed amorphous phase free iron nanograins. It was shown that parallel and perpendicular magnetostriction coefficients depend on annealing temperatures which means that these quantities are sensitive on free volume content. Research limitations/implications: The obtained results are a part of a broad area of examinations devoted to establishing of the influence of different alloying additions and thermal annealing on soft magnetic properties of amorphous alloys obtained by melt spinning technique. Practical implications: The examined alloys belong to a modern group of soft magnetic materials, which can be used as core transformers, magnetic sensors, shields of magnetic etc. The obtained results may be used for preparing soft magnetic ribbons for specific applications. Originality/value: The originality of the paper lies in examination of the influence of free volume content on magnetostriction coefficients.
