Effects of Different Quenching Rate on the Various Properties of Fe–Si–B Amorphous Alloy Prepared by Melt Spinning Method

In this work an attempt is made to study the impact of the quenching rate upon structure, hyperfine interactions, magnetic and mechanical properties of Fe₇₈Si₉B₁₃ metallic glasses. Other involved parameters in melt spinning method were kept invariant. Analytical techniques comprising X-ray diffraction, transmission Mössbauer spectrometry, vibration sample magnetometer, Vickers microhardness and differential scanning calorimetry were employed. Minor effect of quenching rate upon the macroscopic magnetic properties was detected. It was shown that notable changes in the local atomic arrangement, structure, and mechanical properties were unveiled, dominantly by represent the crystallization at the lowest quenching rate.
