Popis: In the present work, the effect of Si addition on the magnetic properties of Fe60−xCo25Ni15Six (x = 0, 5, 10, 20, and 30 at%) alloys prepared by mechanical alloying was analyzed by X-ray diffraction and magnetic vibrating sample magnetometry and SQUID. The crystallographic parameters of the bcc-solid solutions were calculated by Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffraction patterns with Maud software. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to determine the morphology of the powdered alloys as a function of milling time. It was found that the Si addition has an important role in the increase of structural hardening and brittleness of the particles (favoring the more pronounced refinement of crystallites). The resulting nanostructure is highlighted in accordance with the concept of the structure of defects. Magnetic properties were related to the metalloid addition, formed phases, and chemical compositions. All processed samples showed a soft ferromagnetic behavior (Hc ≤ 100 Oe). The inhomogeneous evolution of the magnetization saturation as a function of milling time is explained by the magnetostriction effective anisotropy and stress induced during mechanical alloying.
