Popis: The improvement of soft magnetic properties at elevated temperature was realized by doping Co into the Nb-free Fe80.5Cu1.5Si4B14 alloy. The Curie temperature of amorphous alloy TC increases to 400 °C when 10 at.% Fe is substituted by Co. For the nanocrystalline Fe70.5Co10Cu1.5Si4B14 alloy, a considerable initial permeability μi can be maintained above 450 °C, which is much higher than the TC of amorphous alloy. It is found that the cyclic annealing is effective to improve the saturation flux density BS, which is attributed to the enhanced crystallization volume fraction. Especially for the nanocrystalline Fe78.5Co2Cu1.5Si4B14 alloy, the BS is increased to 1.83 T. Furthermore, the cyclic annealing reduces the grain size, giving rise to the decrease of coercivity HC and the increase of μi.
