Title: Thermodynamic and kinetic analysis of the melt spinning process of Fe-6.5 wt.% Si alloy

Abstract

Here, the microstructural evolution of Fe-6.5 wt.% Si alloy during rapid solidification was studied over a quenching rate of 4 × 10⁴ K/s to 8 ×10⁵ K/s. The solidification and solid-state diffusional transformation processes during rapid cooling were analyzed via thermodynamic and kinetic calculations. The Allen-Cahn theory was adapted to model the experimentally measured bcc_B2 antiphase domain sizes under different cooling rates. The model was calibrated based on the experimentally determined bcc_B2 antiphase domain sizes for different wheel speeds and the resulting cooling rates. Good correspondence of the theoretical and experimental data was obtained over the entire experimental range of cooling rates. Along with the asymptotic domain size value at the infinite cooling rates, the developed model represents a reliable extrapolation for the cooling rate > 10⁶ K/s and allows one to optimize the quenching process.

Effect of wheel speed on magnetic and mechanical properties of melt spun Fe-6.5 wt.% Si high silicon steel

Journal Article Ouyang, Gaoyuan ; Jensen, Brandt ; Tang, Wei ; ... - AIP Advances

Here, Fe-Si electric steel is the most widely used soft magnetic material in electric machines and transformers. Increasing the silicon content from 3.2 wt.% to 6.5 wt.% brings about large improvement in the magnetic and electrical properties. However, 6.5 wt.% silicon steel is inherited with brittleness owing to the formation of B2 and D0₃ ordered phase. To obtain ductility in Fe-6.5wt.% silicon steel, the ordered phase has to be bypassed with methods like rapid cooling. In present paper, the effect of cooling rate on magnetic and mechanical properties of Fe-6.5wt.% silicon steel is studied by tuning the wheel speed duringmore »« less

Effect of cooling rate on the magnetic and mechanical properties of melt spun Fe-6.5 wt.% electric steel

The superior magnetic and electric properties of 6.5 wt.% high silicon steel may improve efficiency and power density of electric machines. However, the brittleness due to the formation of B2 and D03 ordered phases make it difficult for the application of high silicon steel. These ordered phases can be fully or partially suppressed by rapid cooling. However, further study is needed to understand the effect of cooling rate on magnetic and mechanical properties. By tuning the melt spinning wheel speed from 1m/s to 30m/s, varying degrees of cooling rate were achieved. The obtained ribbons with various degree of ordering weremore »« less

Effects of Cooling Rate on 6.5% Silicon Steel Ordering

Conference Cui, Jun ; Macziewski, Chad ; Jensen, Brandt ; ...

Increasing Si content improves magnetic and electrical properties of electrical steel, with 6.5% Si as the optimum. Unfortunately, when Si content approaches 5.7%, the Fe-Si alloy becomes brittle. At 6.5%, the steel is so brittle that a conventional cold rolling process is no longer applicable. The heterogeneous formation of B2 and D03 ordered phases is responsible for the severe material embrittlement. Studies show that the formation of these ordered phases can be impeded by rapid cooling. However, due to the availability of quenching media, only the cooling rates of water and brine water were investigated. At Ames Laboratory, a comprehensivemore »« less

Effects of Solidification Cooling Rates on Microstructures and Physical Properties of Fe-6.5%Si Alloys

Journal Article Ouyang, Gaoyuan ; Macziewski, Chad R. ; Jensen, Brandt ; ... - Acta Materialia

Compared to the widely used Fe-3.2wt%Si steel, Fe-6.5wt%Si has superior electric and magnetic properties, including higher electrical resistivity, lower iron loss, higher permeability, and near zero magnetostriction. However, Fe-6.5wt%Si sheet is difficult to produce using traditional manufacturing processes as the high silicon content favors the formation of ordered phases that embrittle the material. Fortunately, these ordered phases can be suppressed if the alloy is cooled fast enough from a high temperature kinetically trapping the disordered solid solution or amorphous state. Planar flow casting is known for its rapid solidification rate. In order to consider it as a viable method tomore »« less
