Background technology
Soft magnetic materials because of its can be under the condition that adds a low-intensity magnetic field magnetization easily, so consisted of an engineering materials very important branch.Usually, the characteristics of non-retentive alloy are high initial magnetization intensity and low-coercivity.Their magnetic property is to have determined its application, comprises generating, distribution, solenoid coil, magnetic shielding, data storage and microwave communication.In soft magnetic materials, electronic sheet material is comparatively leading on share of market.FeCo base non-retentive alloy is because having the characteristics such as high saturation and magnetic intensity, high-curie temperature, low magnetocrystalline anisotropy and high strength, become the ideal material of high magnetic flux density product, be widely used in fields such as Aeronautics and Astronautics, navigation, military and civilians.At present, the FeCo alloy is having greater advantage due to its high saturation and magnetic intensity aspect part loss of weight or volume of part reduction, for example, replaces the Fe-Si alloy can alleviate the quality of 20-25% with the FeCo alloy.
In recent years, on the basis of Fe-Co alloy, Fe-Co-V non-retentive alloy, Fe-Co base amorphous and Fe-Co base nanometer crystal material have been developed.Yet, although the soft magnetism excellent performance of amorphous and nano crystal soft magnetic material is awaiting breakthrough aspect the gordian techniquies such as preparation large-size alloy material and its high-temperature stability.At present, still be in the laboratory study stage.
Add V to improve the alloy cold-workability in traditional F eCo alloy, also have report to show, adding of V can be carried heavy alloyed resistance, effectively reduces the loss in use procedure.The external FeCo alloy of having studied and produced some trades mark comprises Permendur, 2V-Pemendur, Hiperco, Supermendur etc.Wherein the coercive force of Permendur alloy is 0.2Oe, and saturation magnetization is 2.4T, and tensile strength is 600MPa, but unit elongation is only 2%, in actual production is used, certain restriction is arranged.
The U.S. proposes the how electric aircraft of development a new generation from the nineties in last century, and namely " More Electric Aircraft(MEA) ", Material Field is more obvious in the progress that is applicable to the aviation concerned power.Many electric aircrafts adopt the different subsystem of driven by power, and due to the driving of electric power, time and oil consumption that aircraft arrives cruising altitude are reduced, and reliability, the maintainability of aircraft improve greatly, and have reduced the demand to ground support system.Some gordian techniquies wherein, comprehensive electric generating unit for example, promote mainly internal triggering machine/generator and magnetic bearing system into engine, need to satisfy the soft magnetic materials of high-temperature service condition, these requirements are included in has higher magnetic induction density (〉 2T between 500-600 ℃ of temperature), good mechanical stability (〉 5000h), and during 5kHz less than 480W kg
-1Core loss.FeCo base alloy naturally becomes good suitable material.But the mechanical property of FeCo base alloy can't satisfy requirement of strength design at present.
Simultaneously, along with increasing of frequency of utilization, because the resistivity of metal soft magnetic material is lower, can cause large eddy-current loss, can cause skin effect under higher frequency, this has just seriously limited the application of the high band of FeCo base alloy.For this reason, the resistivity that improves under the alloy high frequency also becomes one of research direction of FeCo base non-retentive alloy.
China Fe-Co magnetically soft alloy has 1J20,1J21, three kinds of trades mark of 1J22 now, and has formed the heat treating regime of regulation.Wherein 1J21,1J22 are comparatively commonly used, are equivalent to external 2V-Permendur alloy.The 1J22 alloy is widely used in the aviation that requirement is lightweight, volume is little at present, is also the non-retentive alloy the most widely that China is applied to aerogenerator at present, but at present ubiquity magnetic performance and mechanical property can't compatibility etc. problem, material plasticity is relatively poor.
In order to satisfy the domestic application demand, also carry out place mat for the research of high temperature non-retentive alloy, obtain the FeCoV base non-retentive alloy that soft magnetic performance excellence and mechanical property are taken into account, have great importance.

Adopt preparation method provided by the invention, also prepared the alloy of Cr content 0.3~1.0 in the present embodiment, all the other preparation technology's flow processs are with embodiment 2.
Fig. 4 is the coercive force curve of Fe-49Co-2V-xCr alloy after cold rolling attitude and heat treatments at different, adopts DC B-H magnetic hysteresis loop tester (DC B-H loop tracer) test.After cold rolling without the sample of Overheating Treatment because cold rolling rear unrelieved stress is very large, cause the high-coercive force of alloy.By thermal treatment, coercive force can decrease; Along with thermal treatment temp raises, sample generation recovery and recrystallization, crystallization degree raises, because crystal boundary moves the formation resistance to domain wall, therefore coercive force can raise to some extent; And along with temperature further improves, grain growth, crystal boundary density reduces, and coercive force reduces thereupon; After higher than 800 ℃, the precipitated phase showed increased of rich V and Cr is distributed in around crystal grain, forms the domain wall moving resistance, and coercive force rises to some extent.Along with the increase of Cr content, the coercive force curve moves on the whole, i.e. alloy coercive force after uniform temp thermal treatment raises.
Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 are tensile strength and the unit elongation result curve of Fe-49Co-2V-xCr alloy after cold rolling attitude and heat treatments at different, the data tension test tester (INSTRON5565-50kN) test.There is drawing hardening effect in sample without Overheating Treatment after cold rolling, and alloy strength is higher.Along with thermal treatment temp raises, the defectives such as dislocation reduce, lattice distortion weakens, drawing hardening effect reduces, alloy strength reduces, and belongs to ordered region thermal treatment lower than 700 ℃ of lower thermal treatments simultaneously, and alloy ordering degree is high (and thinks that thermal treatment temp is higher, the ordering degree is higher), alloy fragility is obvious.And higher than 700 ℃ of thermal treatments, enter region of disorder thermal treatment, and ordering degree relative reduce, plasticity increases.Simultaneously, after 760 ℃, thermal treatment temp raises, and grain refining and precipitation strength are obvious, and intensity improves.
Matrix alloy of the present invention is the Fe-49Co-2V alloy, adopts method provided by the invention to be prepared from.After Overheating Treatment, soft magnetic performance is excellent, and coercive force can reach 0.45~2Oe.But structurally, carry out final thermal treatment in 760~850 ℃ of scopes after, as shown in Fig. 1 (a), without obviously separating out, along with thermal treatment temp raises, grain-size is grown up, and mechanical property can descend along with the reduction of grain-size, in the time of 800 ℃, tensile strength only has 495MPa, discontented full border application demand.Specific performance sees Table 3.
