Abstract
In order to study the microstructure of Fe-Ga alloy, Fe85Ga 15 ribbons prepared with different wheel velocity were studied by high resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) and extend X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). HRXRD patterns showed that only disordered A2 phase was observed in as-cast Fe85Ga15 alloy. A modified-DO3 phase was detected in all of the melt spun samples. The HRXRD associated with EXAFS results indicated that Ga atoms were located as second-nearest neighbor along [100] orientation. A little DO3 phase was found in ribbons annealed at 1000°C under 0.06 MPa Ar atmosphere. The result of magnetostriction measurement revealed that in the ribbon prepared with higher wheel velocity, more modified-DO3 phase will enhance the magnetostriction. DO3 phase in the annealed sample will deteriorate the magnetostrictive properties of Fe-Ga ribbons.
