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

Computer simulation of Fe{sub 80}B{sub 20} alloy solidification in the melt spinning process

Journal Article Tkatch, V I ; Denisenko, S N ; Selyakov, B I - Acta Metallurgica et Materialia

A numerical model based on the self-consistent solution of one-dimensional heat transfer equations and Kolmogorov`s kinetic equation of mass crystallization is developed. The values of the constant involved in the equation of the homogeneous nucleation frequency and that of the linear crystal growth rate for the Fe{sub 80}B{sub 20} alloy as well as the wheel-ribbon heat transfer coefficient were taken from experimental estimations. The predicted values of critical thickness (42{mu}m), the critical rate of cooling (6.5 {times} 10{sup 5} K/s), the volume fraction of crystallized melt vs thickness and the number of quenched-in crystal per unit volume (4 {times} 10{supmore »« less

As cast precipitation microstructures in twin-roller melt-spun Cu{sub 90}Co{sub 10} alloys

Journal Article Núñez-Coavas, H. ; Pozo-López, G., E-mail: gpozo@famaf.unc.edu.ar ; Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas ; ... - Materials Characterization

As cast Cu{sub 90}Co{sub 10} ribbons rapidly solidified by twin-roller melt spinning, exhibit special microstructure features. This processing method provides scenarios where a different phase selection takes place; coherent Co precipitates form directly from solidification, with neither a spinodal-like composition oscillation nor a discontinuously precipitated laminar phase. Samples are processed at tangential wheel speeds of 10 m/s (V10), 15 m/s (V15), 20 m/s (V20) and 30 m/s (V30). Microstructures resulting from this single step process are characterized and the hysteresis properties and the magnetoresistance effects evaluated. Samples V30 have a quite uniform density of coherent precipitates, with a narrow sizemore »« 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

Dynamics of a two-dimensional order-disorder transition

Journal Article Sahni, P S ; Dee, G ; Gunton, J D ; ... - Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)

We present results of a Monte Carlo study of the time development of a two-dimensional order-disorder model binary alloy following a quench to low temperature from a disordered, high-temperature state. The behavior is qualitatively quite similar to that seen in a recent study of a three-dimensional system. The structure function exhibits a scaling of the form K/sup 2/(t)S(k,t) = G(k/K(t)) where the moment K(t) decreases with time approximately like t/sup -1/2/. If one interprets this moment as being inversely proportional to the domain size, the characteristic domain growth rate is proportional to t/sup -1/2/. Additional insight into this time evolutionmore »« less
