Magnetic Behavior of Nanocrystalline FeNbCrBCu Alloys at Elevated Temperatures

The magnetic behavior of nanocrystalline Fe73.5Nb4.5Cr5B16Cu1 alloys is investigated in a series of specimens with different volume fractions of crystalline phase. It is shown that the Curie temperature of amorphous phase firstly decreases after structural relaxation in amorphous state and then rapidly increases during the first stages of crystallization. The strikingly different behavior of coercivity at elevated temperatures is observed for the samples with low and high volume fractions of nanocrystalline particles.
