Abstract

The structural and magnetic properties of nanocrystalline Fe88Co12 powders were synthesized by utilizing a planetary high-energy ball mill. Considering the massive industrial scale of applications, mechanical ball milling remains the most common and efficient technology for nanomaterials manufacture. The effects of performing FeCo alloy synthesis in air rather than the conventional argon atmosphere are investigated with the goal of developing cost-effective processes. X-ray diffractometer (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) have been used to monitor the changes in microstructural and magnetic properties with different milling times. After 24 h of milling, the production of Fe88Co12 alloy is complete. SEM was used to examine grain morphologies at various phases of development. In terms of milling time, saturation magnetization and coercive force determined through hysteresis curves are examined.
