Abstract

The magnetic alloy of nominal composition, Fe_73.5Si_13.5B₉Nb₃Cu₁, has been successfully processed using the laser engineered net shaping (LENS™) process, from a feedstock of elemental powders. The microstructure consists of dendritic α-Fe₃Si grains, with B and Nb partitioning to the inter-dendritic regions, resulting in the formation of Fe₃B grains. Additionally, Fe₂₃B₆ grains are visible at the α-Fe₃Si/Fe₃B interface. The scale of this microstructure can be varied via the laser deposition parameters and this, in turn, influences coercivity (H_c) and saturation magnetization (M_s) of these laser-deposited magnetic alloys. This work shows the feasibility of creating novel geometries of magnetic materials by the laser engineered net shaping process.
