Abstract

Alloys with composition Fe80−xCu1B11P4Si4+x (x = 0 and 4), i. e. with Si 4 at % or 8 at % have been prepared by rapid quenching from the melt in air. For comparison the alloy with P 3 at % and Si 8 at % has been investigated as well. As-quenched structure of all ribbons was checked by X-ray diffraction. Subsequently the samples were submitted to thermal analysis, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and magnetic measurements. Hysteresis loops of strips after short-term annealing at 400, 420 and 500 °C for 5 min changed their shape – the saturation magnetic polarization increased. Its value changed from 1.67 to 1.74 T depending of the crystalline volume fraction for Fe80Cu1B11P4Si4 alloy. Addition of Si to the studied P 4 at % alloy leads to a decrease of coercivity after short-term annealing at the temperatures below the onset of the first transformation. Magnetic work decreased several times and its orientation acquired the distinct orientation along the ribbon axis.
