MAGNETIC PROPERTY OF BINDER IN WC-Co CEMENTED CARBIDES

Tianjin Institute of Hard Alloy,Tianjin 300222,China ABSTRACT The effects of solutes of wolfram and carbon on specific saturation magnetization(4πσ)of cobalt have been examined on the basis of the measurement of Ana for hexagonal typeα-Co and cubic typeβ-Co.The Co-W-C solid solution simulative alloys have been fabricated according to binder composition in WC-Co cemented carbides and the effect of its component and structure on its Ana has been discussed too.It is pointed out that the Co phase structural factor must be considered as measuring the Ana of WC-Co cemented carbides.

FACILE HYDROTHERMAL SYNTHESIS AND GROWTH KINETICS OF Fe-BASED MAGNETIC NANOPARTICLES

The facile hydrothennal method was used to synthesize Fe3O4 nanoparticles with an average diameter of 1 1nm. The pure body-centered cubic （bcc）-Fe nanoparticles were prepared by reduction of Fe3O4 nanoparticles powder in H2 atmosphere. The structure, morphology and magnetic＇properties of the products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, thermogravimetric analysis-differential scanning calorimetry （TGA-DSC） and vibrating sample magnetometer （VSM）. The results showed that the as-prepared Fe3O4 nanoparticles had a relatively homogeneous size. The particle diameters became bigger with the increase of reaction time. The growth kinetics of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles was also briefly discussed. The products exhibited superparamagnetic properties at room temperature and the specific saturation magnetization was dependent on the particle sizes.

EFFECT OF Si CONTENT ON ORDERING DEGREE AND ELECTROMAGNETIC CHARACTERISTICS IN FeSiAl ALLOYS

FeSiAl alloys ribbons synthesized by melt-quench were annealed in vacuum at 873 K for 60 rain. The flaky powders were prepared by milling the annealed ribbons for 70 h. After milling, the powders were heat treated at 573 K for 90 rain. The ordering degree of the powders lattice structure was analyzed by X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The measurement of specific saturation magnetization was carried out by vibrating samples magnetometer （VSM）. Complex permittivity and complex permeability in the frequency band of 0.5-18 GHz were measured with the vector network analyzer. The ordering degree of the superlattice structure increased from 0.2＇7 to 0.49. Complex permittivity and complex permeability decreased with increasing Si content. After ordering, the specific saturation magnetization decreased from 134.2 to 85.0 A.m2.kg-1. For use in anti-EMI material, the total contents of Si and Al in FeSiAl alloys should be controlled at a low level.

Preparation and Properties of FeZrB Amorphous-Nanocrystalline Soft Magnetic Alloy

Fe68Zr20B12 amorphous alloy was prepared by mechanical alloying（MA） method and annealed at different temperatures. Microstructures and magnetic properties of Fe68Zr20B12 alloys as-milled and annealed at 693, 843, 943 and 993 K were studied. The raw powders（Fe, Zr, B） formed b. c. c. α-Fe solid solution at early stages of MA and then transformed into amorphous alloy. Grain size（D） of Fe68Zr20B12 alloys increases with increasing annealing temperature and keeps at nanometer level. The specific saturation magnetization（σs） increases with increasing annealing temperature from 300 K to 943 K, and then decreases with annealing temperature at 993 K because of the precipitation of Fe3B.

STRUCTURE AND MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF Fe/Pd COMPOSITIONALLY MODULATED FILMS

Metal Fe/Pd compositionally modulated films(CMFs) were prepared by vapour depo- sition from two sources onto glass substrate under vacuum.The modulation and crystal structures of the films were examined by X-ray diffraction.The magnetic properties were determined by vibrating sample magnetometer.The Pd layers in the Fe/Pd CMFs are of fcc structure,and the Fe layer structure transits from bcc into amorphous,state with decreasing thickness of Fe layer.The dependence of specific saturation magnetization on thickness of Fe layers has also been discussed.

Electron Structure and Microwave Absorbing Ability of Flaky FeSiAl Powders

Soft magnetic metallic materials have been widely used for absorbing electromagnetic wave.Flaky Fe 86 t Si t Al 14（t=9,11,14 and 16） alloys powders were prepared from melt-quenched ribbons by annealing and milling.In a previous report we discussed the order-disordered structure of this alloys.In this article,we studied their electron structure.Covalence electron numbers of（111） and（100） plane increase with increasing Si content but Bohr magneton decreases.Complex permittivity and complex permeability are both decreased with increasing Si content t.The lowest value of reflectivity among the four alloys is originated from Fe 70 Si 14 Al 14.The peak values of reflectivity are all lower than 10 dB,and the absorbing frequency range（R 10 dB） increases from 1 to 2 GHz when t reaches 16.
