Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an Fe-base soft magnetic alloy and, in particular, to an alloy having excellent soft magnetic properties and a process for making it.
  • Fe-base amorphous magnetic alloys having a high saturation magnetic flux density are known to be used as magnetic core materials for magnetic heads, high frequency transformers, saturable reactors, choke coils, etc.
  • Fe-base amorphous magnetic alloys are lower priced than Co-base ones, the former have the drawbacks of large core loss in high frequency region and a low permeability.
  • it's saturation magnetostriction is high.
  • An Fe-B system alloy is known as conventional Fe-system amorphous magnetic alloys.
  • the alloys including B (boron) are high priced because the element B is expensive.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide a novel Fe-base soft magnetic alloy, which can be substituted for the above-mentioned conventional soft magnetic materials and has a low saturation magnetostriction and a low iron loss.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an Fe-base soft magnetic alloy which is lower priced.
  • an Fe-base soft magnetic alloy which has a composition represented by the formula: Fe 100-a-b-c-d P a M b M' c Cu d
  • M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Zr, Hf, Nb, Mo, W, Ta, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Y and Ce
  • M' is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Si, Al, Ga, Ge, Ru, Co, Ni, Sn, Sb and Pd
  • a, b, c and d each are an atomic % (atom %) and each satisfy 0 ⁇ a ⁇ 25, 0 ⁇ b ⁇ 15, 0 ⁇ c ⁇ 20, and 0 ⁇ d ⁇ 5.
  • at least 30 % of the alloy structure is desired to be occupied by fine crystalline particles, and the crystalline particles are desired to be composed of bcc solid solution including mainly Fe.
  • P phosphorous
  • a determined amount of P enables to extend the range of formation of amorphous alloys after quenching without using an expensive element B (boron). Thereby, the cost of preparation of the alloy can be reduced.
  • the content (a) of P is more than 0 atomic % and not more than 25 atomic %, preferably from 1 to 15 atomic %, more preferably from 2 to 12 atomic %.
  • the element(s) M added to the Fe-base soft magnetic alloy of the present invention is supposed to prevent crystallization of the Fe-P system crystal which hampers soft magnetic properties of the alloy or to elevate its crystallization temperature.
  • M is mentioned at least one, i.e. one or more of the elements selected from the group consisting of Zr, Hf, Nb, Mo, W, Ta, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Y and Ce. Particularly Zr is preferable. Addition of the element(s) M is further effective for making the crystal grain fine and for improving the ability of forming the amorphous phase of the alloy in the Fe-P system alloy.
  • the content (b) of the M element(s) is more than 0 atomic % and not more than 15 atomic %, preferably from 2 to 15 atomic %, more preferably from 3 to 12 atomic %.
  • the element(s) M' added to the Fe-base soft magnetic alloy of the present invention is one or more of the elements selected from the group consisting of Si, Al, Ga, Ge, Ru, Co, Ni, Sn, Sb and Pd. It is considered that these elements are dissolved in the Fe-major solid solution because they have a negative interaction parameter relative to Fe, that is, it is considered that the elements are dissolved as being substituted for Fe atom in the a-Fe crystalline structure whereby stabilizes the bcc crystal. Thus, it is considered that the crystalline grain having a genuine magnetocrystalline anisotropy of bcc crystalline or low magnetostriction constant is formed to exhibit excellent soft magnetic properties.
  • the content (c) of the M' element(s) is from 0 atomic % to 20 atomic %, preferably from 1 to 15 atomic %.
  • Cu (copper) in the alloy of the present invention is effective for making the crystalline particles obtained by the heat-treatment of the amorphous fine. Further, it improves the magnetic properties of the alloy since the effective magnetic anisotropy energy becomes smaller than its genuine magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy as the particles become fine.
  • the copper content should not be more than 5 atomic % with respect to the preparation of the alloy because the just quenched alloy tends to be brittle. Accordingly, the content (d) of Cu is from 0 to 5 atomic %, preferably from 0.5 to 3 atomic %.
  • alloy further containing inevitable impurities such as N, S, O etc., to the extent that these element do not deteriorate the properties of the alloy, is also included in the scope of the present invention.
  • the Fe-base soft magnetic alloy according to the present invention has an alloy structure, at least 30 % (30 % - 100 %) of which consists of (is composed of) fine crystalline particles, with the balance of the structure being an amorphous phase or other crystals than above-mentioned fine crystalline particles.
  • the range of the ratio of the fine crystalline particles in the structure provides the alloy excellent (soft) magnetic properties.
  • the alloy has yet sufficiently good magnetic properties.
  • at least 50 %, more preferably 70 % or more of the alloy structure consists of (is composed of) the fine crystalline particles in view of magnetic properties.

  • the crystalline particles to be formed in the alloy of the present invention have a particle size of 1000 ⁇ or less, preferably 500 ⁇ or less, more preferably 50 to 300 ⁇ .
  • the particle size being 1000 ⁇ or less, preferably 500 ⁇ or less, more preferably 50 to 300 ⁇ , provides the alloy of the present invention excellent magnetic properties.
  • the proportion of the crystalline grains to the total alloy structure in the alloy of the present invention may be determined experimentally by an X-ray diffraction method or the like. Briefly, on the basis of the standard value of the X-ray diffraction intensity of Fe-base crystal in the completely crystallized condition (saturated X-ray diffraction intensity condition), the proportion of the X-ray diffraction intensity of the magnetic alloy material sample to be examined to the standard value may be obtained experimentally.
  • the Fe-base soft magnetic alloy of the present invention may be produced by a heat-treatment of an amorphous metal having a determined shape which is obtained by a common method of forming an amorphous metal.
  • an amorphous alloy is first formed in the form of a ribbon, powder, fiber, or thin film by a melt quenching method such as a single roll method or double roll method, a thin film forming method such as a cavitation method, sputtering method or vapor deposition method, or a powder forming method such as mechanical alloying or the like.
  • the resulting amorphous alloy is optionally shaped and worked into a desired shape, then it is heat-treated so that at least a part, preferably 30 % or more of the whole, of the sample is crystallized to obtain the alloy of the present invention.
  • the structure of the alloy after rapid-quenching is preferably amorphous but it may include partially crystal to the extent that the resulting alloy exhibits soft magnetic properties after heat-treatment.
  • a quenched alloy ribbon is formed by a single roll method, and this is shaped into a determined shape such as a coiled magnetic core and then heat-treated.
  • the heat-treatment is effected in vacuum, in an inert gas atmosphere, such as an argon gas or nitrogen gas atmosphere, in reducing gas atmosphere such as H2 or in oxidizing gas atmosphere such as air. Preferably, it is carried out in vacuum or in an inert gas atmosphere.
  • the heat-treatment temperature is approximately from 200 to 800°C, preferably approximately from 300 to 700°C, and more preferably from 400 to 700 °C.
  • the heat-treatment time is within 24 hours, preferably about from 0.5 to 5 hours.
  • the heat-treatment may be effected either in the absence or presence of a magnetic field. Impressing of a magnetic field brings a magnetic anisotropy to the alloy.
  • the soft magnetic alloy having excellent properties is obtained.
  • Fig. 1 is a graph showing X-ray diffraction patterns of the Fe-base soft magnetic alloy of the present invention after heat-treatment.
  • a quenched ribbon (thin film) sample having a width of about 1.5 mm and a thickness of about 15-24 ⁇ m was formed from a melt containing Fe, P, Zr, and (Cu) in an argon gas atmosphere of one atmosphere pressure by a single roll method.
  • the sample was then heat-treated at the temperature shown by Table 1 for about one hour in the presence of a nitrogen gas and in the absence of a magnetic field.
