Abstract

In order to decrease and control electromagnetic pollution, absorbing materials with better electromagnetic wave absorption properties should be developed. In this paper, a nanocrystalline alloy ribbon with the composition of Fe73.2Si16.2B6.6Nb3Cu1 was designed and prepared. Nanocrystalline alloy powder was obtained by high-energy ball milling treatment. The effects of ball milling time on the soft magnetic properties, microstructure, morphology, and electromagnetic wave absorption properties of alloy powder were investigated. The results showed that, as time increased, α-(Fe, Si) gradually transformed into the amorphous phase, and the maximum saturation magnetization (Ms) reached 135.25 emu/g. The nanocrystalline alloy powder was flakelike, and the minimum average particle size of the powder reached 6.87 μm. The alloy powder obtained by ball milling for 12 h had the best electromagnetic absorption performance, and the minimum reflection loss RLmin at the frequency of 6.52 GHz reached −46.15 dB (matched thickness was 3.5 mm). As time increased, the best matched frequency moved to the high-frequency direction, and the best matched thickness decreased, while the maximum effective absorption bandwidth ΔfRL<−10 dB was 7.22 GHz (10.78–18 GHz).
