Abstract

The crystallization behavior of iron-based amorphous alloys has been investigated in high magnetic fields by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and magnetization measurements. DTA of Fe­Si­B amorphous alloys showed that the exothermic peaks shift toward higher temperature under high magnetic fields. At 10T, peak temperatures of the crystallizations increased approximately 3K, compared with those at a zero magnetic field. Such a variation in the crystallization peak was not observed in the Fe­B­Nb­Y bulk metallic glass (BMG). In the temperature dependence of the saturation magnetization for the Fe­Si­B amorphous alloy, the sudden increase of the magnetization was found at the crystallization temperatures. The magnetization of Fe­Si­B increased 56 and 40Am 2 kg ¹1 at the first and second crystallization temperatures, respectively. This magnetization behavior indicates the magnetic transition from the paramagnetic to the ferromagnetic state, accompanying the crystallization, whereas there is only a slight increase in magnetization at the crystallization temperature in Fe­B­Nb­Y BMG. The effect of magnetic field on the crystallization peak as observed from DTA is related to the increase in the magnetization at the crystallization temperature. [doi:10.2320/matertrans.M2012242]
