Effect of Neodymium on the Glass-Forming Ability and Magnetic Properties of Fe-Based Bulk Amorphous Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

The glass forming ability and magnetic properties were investigated for adding neodymium to the Fe71-xNb4B25Ndx (x=0, 3, 5, 7,10) alloys prepared by copper suction casting. It was found that proper neodymium (x=5~10 at.%) could improve glass forming ability of Fe-Nb-B alloys effectively. Bulk amorphous Fe66Nd5B25Nb4 and Fe64Nd7B25Nb4 samples were obtained and presented high thermal stability and good soft magnetic properties. The value of activation energy of the first crystallization peak for the bulk amorphous alloy Fe64Nd7B25Nb4 is 683 kJ/mol.
