Fabrication and Properties of Rapidly Quenched Fe-6.5wt.%Si Alloy Ribbons

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fe-6.5wt.%Si alloy is one excellent soft magnetic material. In the present study, rapid quenching was applied to fabricate ultra-thin ribbons of Fe-6.5wt.%Si alloy by melt spinning. Continuous ribbons of 20 mm wide, 35-45 μm thick were fabricated with optimized experimental parameters. The ribbons exhibited metallic luster appearance, and can be wound without cracks. Microstructure, texture and mechanical properties of the ribbons were investigated. It was found that the rapidly quenched ribbons had intense {100} plane texture, and exhibited some extent of bending capability. Finally the ribbons were cold rolled and the surface smoothness was improved for stacking purpose.
