Abstract
This research focuses on first-order reversal curve (FORC) analysis of rapid-solidified Co78Zr17B2Si1M2 (M = W, Cr, Mo) alloys. In this regard, vacuum arc melting and melt-spinning techniques were used to prepare the initial samples and the annealing process was carried out at temperature range of 400–700 °C. The prepared samples were analyzed using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and FORC analysis. Based on the obtained results from the FORC analysis, the structure of Co78Zr17B2Si1M2 (M = W, Cr, Mo) alloys after melt spinning process was combination of Co5Zr and amorphous phase. The optimum annealing temperature to achieve the best hard magnetic properties was shown to be 400 °C as a result of the formation of a single-phase compound of Co5Zr. The alloy containing Cr showed the highest coercivity (about 4.6 kOe), and the maximum coercivity for samples containing Mo and W was estimated to be about 3.4 kOe and 3.2 kOe, respectively.
