Effect of (Co,V,Si) Alloy Content on the Properties and Texture Heritability of Low-Frequency Soft Magnetic Materials
摘要
This paper utilizes Thermo-Calc thermodynamic calculation software to analyze the equilibrium phase precipitation behavior of different elements and alloy types, providing a theoretical basis for the subsequent setting of heat treatment parameters. Furthermore, this study investigates the texture evolution and magnetic property changes of iron-based soft magnetic materials with varying Co (25%, 35%, 50%) and Si (0.5%, 0.1%) contents (pure iron, Fe-Co alloys, and Fe-Si alloys) under a full-process treatment including a normalization process at 950 °C for 5 min and an annealing process at 900 °C for 1 h. The results indicate that as the Co content in soft magnetic materials increases, Ac1 and Ac3 temperatures during the heating stage gradually rise, with a more pronounced difference observed in Ar1 for Fe-Si alloys. Hot-rolled Fe-Co alloy sheets primarily exhibit γ texture, while α and α* textures are also observed in Fe-Co alloys. In the annealed sheets, pure iron exhibits a predominantly γ orientation, with {114} < 481 > and {111} < 112 > textures coexisting. It was also found that as the Co content increases, the texture distribution gradually shifts from the γ fiber orientation toward the α* line. When the Co content is 50%, the magnetic properties are B10000 = 2.37 T and P1.5/50 = 4.18W/kg. This study, by combining thermodynamic software simulation with full-process experimental analysis, provides new insights into the texture control of soft magnetic materials.
