Influence of annealing on the physical and chemical properties of Fe–Si–B–(Me) amorphous alloys

Abstract Changes of the compositional and topological arrangement of the atoms during annealing of Fe–Si–B–(Me) amorphous alloys ribbons, changes of structure, magnetization and electrochemical parameters of dissolving were investigated. X-ray powder diffraction analysis of amorphous metallic alloy samples annealed at 873 K showed that the stability of the Fe 3 B-phase increases with increasing Ni content. The results obtained by the voltammetric method, not only correlate with the results of magnetic and X-ray diffraction studies, but also provide information on surface redox processes.
