abstract:
Nanocrystalline powders of Fe81Si9B6Nb3Cu1 composition have been synthesised by high-energy ball milling and characterised by means of X-ray and neutron diffraction, Mossbauer spectroscopy and magnetic tests. The diffraction and Mossbauer measurements point out the progressive formation of a bcc alpha-Fe(Si, Nb, Cu, B) disordered solid solution with average particle size in the nanometre range. In addition, for the specimens mechanically treated for prolonged times, the Mossbauer spectra show an ultrafine non-stoichiometric Fe3+xSi1-x crystalline phase. The coercive field of the powder after long milling time is higher than that of the partially crystallized metallic glass of similar composition. The annealing at 973 K in inert atmosphere of the samples mechanically alloyed for long times mainly produces the Fe3Si crystalline phase and small amounts of borides and Fe-Nb aggregates.
