The present work exhibits the effects of Sn addition on the magnetic properties and microstructure of FeCoNi(CuAl)Sn (0 ≤ ≤ 0.10) high-entropy alloys (HEAs). The results show all the samples consist of a mixed structure of face-centered-cubic (FCC) phase and body-centered-cubic (BCC) phase. The addition of Sn promotes the formation of BCC phase, and it also affects the shape of Cu-rich nano-precipitates in BCC matrix. It also shows that the Curie temperatures () of the FCC phase and the saturation magnetization () of the FeCoNi(CuAl)Sn (0 ≤ ≤ 0.10) HEAs increase greatly while the remanence () decreases after the addition of Sn into FeCoNi(CuAl) HEA. The thermomagnetic curves indicate that the phases of the FeCoNi(CuAl)Sn (0 ≤ ≤ 0.10) HEAs will transform from FCC with low to BCC phase with high at temperature of 600-700 K. This work provides a new idea for FeCoNi(CuAl)Sn (0 ≤ ≤ 0.10) HEAs for their potential application as soft magnets to be used at high temperatures.
本研究展示了添加锡对FeCoNi(CuAl)Sn(0≤≤0.10)高熵合金(HEAs)磁性能和微观结构的影响。结果表明,所有样品均由面心立方(FCC)相和体心立方(BCC)相的混合结构组成。锡的添加促进了BCC相的形成,并且还影响了BCC基体中富铜纳米析出物的形状。研究还表明,在FeCoNi(CuAl) HEA中添加锡后,FCC相的居里温度()和FeCoNi(CuAl)Sn(0≤≤0.10)高熵合金的饱和磁化强度()大幅增加,而剩磁()降低。热磁曲线表明,FeCoNi(CuAl)Sn(0≤≤0.10)高熵合金的相在600 - 700 K的温度下将从低的FCC相转变为高的BCC相。这项工作为FeCoNi(CuAl)Sn(0≤≤0.10)高熵合金作为高温软磁体的潜在应用提供了新思路。
