Abstract
Completely amorphous ribbons of Sm2Fe17Zr1Nb0.4Cu0.2B0.2 multicomponent alloy, prepared by melt-spinning technique at the wheel speed of ∼ 40 m/s under the argon atmosphere, were achieved. The Sm2Fe17Zr1Nb0.4Cu0.2B0.2 multicomponent alloy is of the negative mixing enthalpy (ΔHmix), for the mixing enthalpy of Fe-B alloy is −26 kJ/mol, significantly lower than Fe-Zr, Fe-Nb and Fe-Sm, promoting the formation of amorphous phase. Detailed microstructural investigations were conducted using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. It revealed that the formation of completely Sm-Fe-Zr-Nb-Cu-B amorphous alloy without obviously precipitation of the second phase. The obtain of completely amorphous structure is conducive to the reconstruction of the microstructure in the later annealing process. The addition of Cu element increases the mixing enthalpy, resulting the reduction of the glass forming ability (GFA) of the nanocrystalline alloys, but it inhibits the formation of α-Fe soft magnetic phase effectively.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
