Ball milling nanocrystallization of arc-melted and melt-spun Fe78Co5Nb3Zr3B5Ge5Cu1 alloy: microstructure and magnetic properties. Philosophical Magazine, 86 (15), 2271-2282.1478-6435http://hdl.handle.net/11441/49881Versión post-print.The viability of developing a nanocrystalline microstructure for the Fe78Co5Nb3 Zr3B5Ge5Cu1 composition using a planetary ball mill was studied. Two starting samples were chosen: an arc-melted ingot and a partially crystallized melt-spun ribbon. The α-Fe phase was detected in both initial samples, although different intermetallic phases were detected in each of them. Milling at 150 rpm, these intermetallics disappeared after 5 h for the melt-spun alloy (RQ) and did not disappear even after 70 h for the arc-melted sample (AM). However, the α-Fe phase became nanosized in both cases. A good thermal stability was found for the RQ alloy after 10 h of milling, although the nanocrystal size increased from ∼8 to ∼20 nm after heating to 973 K. The AM samples exhibited a lower coercivity and a higher magnetization than RQ samplesapplication/pdfengAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://doi.org/10.1080/14786430500300074
