Abstract

In the present work Fe73−xNbxAl4Si3B20 (x = 5,10) alloys have been processed by melt-spinning with the aim of studying the crystallization sequence through annealing in suitable temperatures. Melt-spun ribbons were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) through Cu-Kα (λ=1.54Å) and synchrotron radiation (λ=1.77Å) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Soft magnetic properties were measured through the hysteresis loop tracer. In-situ XRD through synchrotron radiation was very accurate in phase identification. Fe73−xNbxAl4Si3B20 (x=5,10) alloys showed the possibility of forming ferromagnetic amorphous alloys composed of commercial Fe-based master alloys with fine nanocrystalline structure and good soft magnetic properties.
