Abstract

The influence of Gd addition on the structural properties of FeCuNbSiB nanocrystallized and amorphous alloys is studied. The crystallization temperature increases and the microstructure of the annealed samples changes. Gd addition induces the formation of GdFeB phases. In fully crystallized FeGdCuNbSiB alloys the α-Fe(Si), FeNbB, Gd 3Fe 62B 14 and Gd 1.1Fe 4B 4 phases are observed. The evolution of the microstructure is followed as a function of the cumulative effects of annealing time and temperature. The results suggest the transformation of the metastable Gd 3Fe 62B 14 phase into Gd 1.1Fe 4B 4 and α-Fe. The hyperfine parameters of the Gd 3Fe 62B 14 Mössbauer contribution are reported.
