Abstract
The effect of Cr element and heat treatment on the physical and magnetic properties of Fe_(80)B_(12)Si_8 (at.%) amorphous alloy which has a high saturation magnetization and a low core loss was investigated in this study. The (Fe_(1-x)Cr_x)_(80)B_(12)Si_8 (x= 0-0.10) amorphous allay ribbons were fabricated by single roller method and annealed for 20 minutes at various temperatures below the crystallization temperature in Ar gas atmosphere. With increasing Cr contents, it was found that crystallization temperature increased from 472℃ to 490℃ and soft magnetic properties were improved. The coercive force decreased and the maximum permeability increased with increasing Cr contents. These improvements may be attributed to the decreasing of magnetostriction by Cr addition to Fe_(80)B_(12)Si_8 alloy. The annealing treatment improved the soft magnetic properties of Fe_(1-x)Cr_x)_(80)B_(12)Si_8 amorphous alloys and the optimum annealing temperature was 60℃ lower than the crystallization temperature. Coercive force and high frequency magnetic properties of (Fe_(0.96)Cr_(0.04))_(80)B_(12)Si_8 amorphous alloy that was annealed at 425℃ for 20 minutes were comparable to a zero magnetostrictive Co-based alloy.
