Rapid Solidification and Magnetic Properties of (Fe,Co)-(Fe,Co)17Gd2 Pseudo-Binary Eutectic Alloys
Abstract:
The (Fe,Co)-(Fe,Co)17Gd2 pseudo-binary eutectic system has been determined by investigating phase compositions on the analysis of DSC, EDS and XRD. The rapid solidification of Gd7.3Fe30.56Co62.14, Gd9Fe30Co61 and Gd9.63Fe29.79Co60.58 ternary alloys is realized by single roller techniques. With a rising cooling rate, the equiaxed zone near the roller surface expands inwards. For Gd7.3Fe30.56Co62.14 hypoeutectic alloy ribbons, the feathery irregular eutectic zone shrinks and the grains (Fe,Co) near the free surface are refined. (Fe,Co) equiaxed dendrites plus the radial, irregular eutectic ultimately fill in the ribbon at the maximum cooling rate. For Gd9Fe30Co61 near-eutectic alloy ribbons, the growth direction of irregular eutectics near the free surface becomes more and more perpendicular to the surface, and finally the whole ribbons are occupied by the fine, irregular eutectic. The dendritic spacing of the (Fe,Co)17Gd2 phase which grows from the roller surface to the free surface in Gd9.63Fe29.79Co60.58 alloy ribbons becomes smaller. The grain size of the (Fe,Co)17Gd2 dendrite and the fraction of (Fe,Co) soft phase in alloy ribbons, which determine coercivity in the pseudo-binary eutectic system, vary with the increase of the cooling rate. Of the three alloys, the Gd9Fe30Co61 alloy has the best hard magnetic properties at Vr = 20 m/s; the maximum coercivity Hc is 431.34 Oe.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...

Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
