Microstructure and magnetostrictive properties of Tb doped Fe-Ga bulk alloys prepared by melt quenching

The microstructure and magnetostrictive properties were investigated in the Tb doped Fe83Ga17-xTbx(x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40, 0.50) bulk rods prepared by melt rapidly quenching. The partial solid solubility of Tb in the Fe-Ga matrix was preliminary detected by the lattice parameters and SEM o...

Description
Summary:The microstructure and magnetostrictive properties were investigated in the Tb doped Fe83Ga17-xTbx(x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40, 0.50) bulk rods prepared by melt rapidly quenching. The partial solid solubility of Tb in the Fe-Ga matrix was preliminary detected by the lattice parameters and SEM observation. The matrix keeps A2 structure and the second phase appears surround the grain boundary as x C 0.1. h100 i preferred orientation is also observed for x = 0.1 sample along the axis of the quenched rod. The saturation magnetostriction first increases and maximum value reaches at x = 0.1, and then decreases with Tb addition increasing. The initial increase of the magnetostriction should be associated with the partial solution of Tb in the matrix, the maximum value at x = 0.1 should be attributed to the h100 i preferred orientation, and the decrease of the magnetostriction is correlated with the appearance of the second phase along the grain boundary.
