Abstract
The process of phase separation in the Alnico 5 magnet alloy is investigated by using the Mossbauer effect of 57Fe. After being quenched from a one-phase region, the thin samples are aged for various periods at constant temperatures, and the Mossbauer spectra are taken at room temperature. The computer analysis of Mossbauer spectra shows that for aging around 800°C, this alloy decomposes by a spinodal mechanism and the equilibrium FeCo-rich phase begins to be formed within about 5 seconds, but for aging below 650°C, the phase separation proceeds by a nucleation and growth mechanism.
