Abstract

Finemet-type amorphous alloys are good soft magnetic materials due to their amorphous-nanocrystalline structure with close to zero magnetostriction. A very sensitive method for controlling relaxation and crystallization processes in such alloys is proposed. It consists in precise DSC measurements of heat capacity peak in the vicinity of the Curie temperature TC. Time-temperature dependencies of TC for microwires in comparison with ribbon shaped amorphous alloys were studied. Relaxation of atomic structure of amorphous phase during annealing was accompanied by an increase of TC. σ-shaped time dependencies are characterized by at least two relaxation processes, corresponding apparent values of activation energy were estimated. Decomposition of amorphous phase and redistribution of components between amorphous phase and growing nanocrystals affect the shape and position of the DSC peak at TC as well.

Study of microwires with glass coating revealed the influence of internal stress on the shape and position of the Curie peak on DSC curve: increase of internal strain tensions leads to suppression of the TC peak.
