Influence of Ordering and Internal Stresses on the Saturation Magnetization and Magnetostriction of Fe65Co35 Alloy with Cr and Cr Plus Ti Additions
摘要
Addition of 0.5% Cr to the Fe65Co35 alloy resulted in an increase of hardness (215 HV to 296 HV), stiffness, and total magnetostriction from 23 × 10−6 to 65 × 10−6. This alloy exhibited also the highest relative magnetic permeability and lowest coercive field among all the alloys studied, reaching μr = 1020 in an applied field of only 360 A m−1 and Hc = 650 A m−1 (8.2 Oe). Consistent results among hardness, stiffness, EBSD, and magnetization as a function of temperature reasonably indicate that BCC ordering is present in the Fe65Co35 alloy and in the Cr added alloy; however, Cr + Ti added alloy would be single phased, either fully disordered or fully ordered. Magnetization thermal hysteresis (ΔM) occurs because of strong internal stress development due to Fe65Co35 and Cr-added alloy sample rapid cooling, ΔM being wider for Cr-added alloy. Results of hardness, stiffness, EBSD, and ΔM permitted the conclusion that in Cr-added alloy, internal stresses are stronger than in Fe65Co35 alloy.
