RESUMO

Producing soft magnetic alloys by additive manufacturing has the potential to overcome cracking and brittle fracture issues associated with conventional thermomechanical processing. Fe-Co alloys exhibit high magnetic saturation but low ductility that makes them difficult to process by commercial methods. Ni-Fe alloys have good ductility and high permeability in comparison to Fe-Co, but they suffer from low magnetic saturation. Functional grading between Fe-Co and Ni-Fe alloys through blown powder directed energy deposition can produce soft magnetic materials that combine and enhance properties beyond the strengths of the individual magnetic materials. This work focuses on the microstructure, crystal structure, and magnetic properties of functionally graded Fe49Co49V2/Ni80Fe16Mo4 coupons. The grading between the two materials is found to refine the microstructure, thereby improving the mechanical hardness without the use of a nonmagnetic element. Postbuild thermal treatments are found to recrystallize the microstructure and increase the grain size, leading to improved magnetic properties. Analysis of crystal structures provides an understanding of the solubility limits and phase equilibria between the BCC (Fe-Co) and FCC (Ni-Fe) structures. Success in functional grading of soft magnets may provide a pathway toward improving energy conversion efficiency through strategic combinations of high saturation and high strength materials.

RESUMO

Heat-treated FeCo-based magnetic alloys were characterized using a suite of electron microscopy techniques to gain insight into their structural properties. Electron channeling contrast imaging (ECCI) in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) found unique grains towards the outer edge of a FeCo sample with nonuniform background contrast. High-magnification ECCI imaging of these nonuniform grains revealed a weblike network of defects that were not observed in standard uniform background contrast grains. High-resolution electron backscattered diffraction (HR-EBSD) confirmed these defect structures to be dislocation networks and additionally found subgrain boundaries within the nonuniform contrast grains. The defect content within these grains suggests that they are unrecrystallized grains, and ECCI can be used as a rapid method to quantify unrecrystallized grains. To demonstrate the insight that can be garnered via ECCI on these unique grains, the sample was imaged before and after micro indentation. This experiment showed that slip bands propagate throughout the material until interacting with the dislocation networks, suggesting that these specific defects provide a barrier to plastic deformation. Taken together, these results show how ECCI can be used to better understand failure mechanisms in alloys and provides further evidence that dislocation networks play a critical role in the brittle failure of FeCo alloys.

RESUMO

Understanding the growth of whiskers or high aspect ratio features on substrates can be aided when the crystallography of the feature is known. This study has evaluated three methods that utilize electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) for the determination of the crystallographic growth direction of an individual whisker. EBSD has traditionally been a technique applied to planar, polished samples, and thus the use of EBSD for out-of-surface features is somewhat more difficult and requires additional steps. One of the methods requires the whiskers to be removed from the substrate resulting in the loss of valuable physical growth relationships between the whisker and the substrate. The other two techniques do not suffer this disadvantage and provide the physical growth information as well as the crystallographic growth directions. The final choice of method depends on the information required. The accuracy and the advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed.
