Abstract:
The concentration dependence of the magnetic properties of iron alloys with 3 – 25 at.% gallium has been studied. It is shown that with increasing gallium content, saturation induction decreases monotonically, but coercive force shows a stepped increase with a jump from 85 to 135 A/m between 12 and 15 at.% Ga. The effect of annealing in a dc magnetic field (magnetic field annealing (MFA)) on the behavior of residual induction and coercive force in samples containing from 3 to 18 at.
Keywords:iron–gallium alloys, thermomagnetic treatment, magnetic properties.
