Abstract

A glassy structure was formed in the Fe40Co40P14B6 alloy by melt-spinning technique. The as-quenched 2-8 mm wide and 15-30 [.proportional]m thick ribbons exhibit good soft magnetic properties: the saturation magnetization of 1.45 T, the coercive force of 4 A/m and maximum differential permeability at 60 Hz of about 90000. The FeCo-based glass crystallizes via eutectic reaction into a mixture of an austenite and a b.c. tetragonal Fe3P-like phase similar to that of the well-known Fe40Ni40P14B6metallic glass, but at temperatures about 60 K higher than the latter. The evaluation of the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of crystallization process brought us to the conclusion that the improved thermal stability of the Fe40Co40P14B6 glass is caused by the enhanced interfacial nucleus-glass energy.
