Abstract
Abstract The microstructural, mechanical and magnetic properties of FeCr30Co8 alloy in the a state were examined after upsetting, followed by torsion. The temperatures (750, 800, 850 and 900°C) and deformation rates corresponded to the superplasticity conditions of the Fe–Cr–Co alloys. Due to the torsional deformation, which was applied only to the bottom of the samples, a gradient microstructure was formed in the sections that were parallel to the upsetting direction. In the temperature range from 750 to 850°C, the deformation led to intermetallic r-phase precipitation. The maximum refinement of the microstructure and the maximum r-phase precipitation were observed in the material that was deformed at 800°C. Measurement of the magnetic properties showed a decreasing coercive force in the deformed alloy, in contrast to the mechanical properties of the samples after the magnetic treatment.
