Effect of AC current annealing on the microstructure, magnetism and magnetoimpedance of CoFeSiBNb3 microfibers

Abstract

This paper systematically studies the changes in the microstructure and magnetic properties of CoFeSiBNb3 metallic microfibers before and after AC annealing. The influence of current intensity on the magneto-impedance (MI) effect of the microfibers was analyzed and the microstructure changes of the microfibers before and after annealing were explored by means of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Using this data, the mechanism of current annealing to improve the MI characteristics was further revealed. The results show that the surface of the CoFeSiBNb3 metallic microfibers after AC current annealing is smooth and continuous; its general magnetic properties and MI ratio increase at first with current intensity and then decrease at higher intensities. During the current annealing process, Joule heat eliminates residual stresses in the microfibers while forming atomically ordered micro-domains, which improves the degree of its organizational order. Meanwhile, a stable toroidal magnetic field is generated, which promotes the distribution of the magnetic domain structure of the microfibers, thereby improving the MI effect.
