Abstract
Some Fe-rich amorphous alloys of Fe–B–P–Si and Fe–B–P–Si–C systems were found to exhibit simultaneously good soft magnetic properties with high-saturation magnetization values near 1.7 T, which are higher than those for previously reported Fe-based amorphous and glassy alloys, in addition to rather good amorphous ribbon formability, good bending ductility, and rather high corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance increased with increasing P content, accompanying by the increase in thermal stability of the amorphous phase. The decrease in the outer surface velocity of the wheel, which results in the increase of ribbon thickness, also causes an improvement of surface smoothness of the melt-spun amorphous alloy ribbons. The syntheses of new high-saturation Fe-based soft magnetic amorphous alloys without any other transition metals hold promise for future extension of Fe-based soft magnetic amorphous materials.
