Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a soft magnetic alloy, in particular a highly permeable soft magnetic alloy.

[0002] Non-grain-oriented electrical steel with approximately 3 wt% silicon (SiFe) is the most widely used crystalline soft magnetic material in laminated cores for electrical machines. As electromobility advances, more efficient materials are needed that offer superior performance compared to SiFe. This means, in addition to a sufficiently high electrical resistance, a higher induction level is particularly desirable for achieving high torques and / or a small footprint.

[0003] Even more efficient materials are desirable for use in certain technologies, such as the automotive industry and electromobility. Soft magnetic cobalt-iron alloys (CoFe) are also used in electrical machines due to their exceptionally high saturation induction. Commercially available CoFe alloys typically have a composition of 49 wt.% Fe, 49 wt.% Co, and 2% V. With such a composition, a saturation induction of approximately 2.35 T is achieved while maintaining a high electrical resistance of 0.4 µΩm. However, it is desirable to reduce the material and manufacturing costs for CoFe alloys, which arise, for example, due to the high Co content, the additional manufacturing steps, and the scrap content.

[0004] US 4 204 887 A discloses an alloy with high damping capacity containing 1-45 wt.% Co and the balance Fe and, as the case may be, further 0.01-30% in total as an additional component of at least one of Ni, Cr, Al, Cu, Mn, Sb, Nb, Mo, W, Ti, V, Ta, Si, Sn, Zn, Zr, C and Y.

[0005] DE 11 80 954 A discloses a method for producing a CoFe alloy. WO 01 / 00 895 A1 discloses an Fe-based alloy with 10-20 wt.% Co, 2 to 6.5 wt.% Cr, Mo, and V, with less than 0.4 wt.% Ni and Mn, and less than 0.02 wt.% C.

[0006] US 7 128 790 B2 discloses an FeCo alloy with, in weight percent, 10 to 22% Co, traces up to 2.5% Si, traces up to 2% Al, 0.1 to 1% Mn, traces up to 0.0100% C, total O, N and S content in the range from traces to 0.0070%; total content of Si, Al, Cr, Mo, V, Mn in the range between 1.1 and 3.5%, total Cr, Mo and V content in the range from traces to 3%, total Ta and Nb content in the range from traces to 1%, the remainder being iron and production-related impurities.

[0007] US 2011 / 0 050 376 A1 discloses a laminated core made of soft magnetic individual sheets. DE 10 2008 039 326 A1 discloses a method for insulating electrical steel.

[0008] The task to be solved is therefore to provide a FeCo alloy that has lower material costs and is at the same time easy to process in order to reduce the manufacturing costs of the alloy up to the laminated core, while at the same time enabling a high power density.

[0009] The solution is the subject of the independent claims. Further advantageous developments are the subject of the respective dependent claims.

[0010] A soft magnetic alloy is provided, in particular a highly permeable soft magnetic FeCo alloy, which essentially consists of 5 wt.% ≤ Co ≤ 25 wt% 0.3 wt.% ≤ V ≤ 5.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Cr ≤ 3.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Si ≤ 3.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Mn ≤ 3.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Al ≤ 3.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ta ≤ 0.5 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ni ≤ 0.5 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Mon ≤ 0.5 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Cu ≤ 0.2 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ce ≤ 0.05 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Nb ≤ 0.25 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ti ≤ 0.05 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ca ≤ 0.05 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Mg ≤ 0.05 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ C ≤ 0.02 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Zr ≤ 0.1 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ O ≤ 0.025 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ S ≤ 0.015 wt% The remainder is iron, with Cr+Si+Al+Mn ≤ 3.0 wt% and up to 0.2 wt% of other impurities. The alloy has a maximum permeability µ max ≥ 5,000, preferably µ max ≥ 10,000, preferably µ max ≥ 12,000, preferably µ max ≥ 17,000. Other impurities include B, P, N, W, Hf, Y, Re, Sc, Be, and other lanthanides except Ce.

[0011] Due to the lower Co content, the raw costs of the alloy are reduced compared to an alloy based on 49 wt.% Fe, 49 wt.% Co, 2% V. An FeCo alloy is created with a maximum cobalt content of 25 wt.%, which offers better soft magnetic properties, in particular, significantly higher permeability, than other FeCo alloys with a maximum cobalt content of 25 wt.%, such as existing and commercially available FeCo alloys such as VACOFLUX 17, AFK 18, or HIPERCO 15. These existing and commercially available alloys have a maximum permeability below 5000.

[0012] The alloy exhibits no significant ordering, so unlike alloys with over 30 wt.% Co, this alloy can be cold-rolled without a prior quenching process. Quenching is difficult to control, especially with large quantities of material, because sufficiently rapid cooling rates are difficult to achieve, allowing ordering to occur, resulting in embrittlement of the alloy. The absence of an order-to-disorder transition in the alloy thus simplifies large-scale production.

[0013] A significant order-to-disorder transition, such as that observed in CoFe alloys with a Co content of more than 30 wt.%, can be detected for an alloy using DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) measurements, as it results in a peak in the DSC measurement. Such a peak is not detected for the alloy in a DSC measurement under the same conditions.

[0014] At the same time, this new alloy offers significantly lower hysteresis losses than previously known and commercially available alloys with Co contents between 10 and 30 wt.%, as well as higher saturation and a significantly higher permeability level never before achieved for such alloys. The FeCo alloy can also be produced cost-effectively on an industrial scale.

[0015] Due to its higher permeability, the alloy can be used in applications such as the rotor or stator of an electric motor to reduce the size of the rotor or stator, and thus the electric motor, and / or increase its performance. For example, higher torque can be generated with the same size and / or weight, which would be advantageous for applications in electric or hybrid-powered vehicles.

[0016] In addition to a maximum permeability µ max≥ 5,000, preferably µ max ≥ 10,000, preferably µ max ≥ 12,000, preferably µ max ≥ 17,000 the alloy can have an electrical resistance p ≥ 0.25 µΩm, preferably p ≥ 0.30 µΩm, and / or hysteresis losses P Hys ≤ 0.07 J / kg preferably hysteresis losses P Hys ≤ 0.06 J / kg preferably hysteresis losses P Hys ≤ 0.05 J / kg, each at an amplitude of 1.5 T, and / or a coercive field strength H c of ≤ 0.7 A / cm preferably a coercive field strength H c of ≤ 0.6 A / cm preferably a coercive field strength H c of ≤ 0.5 A / cm preferably H c of ≤ 0.4 A / cm, preferably H c of ≤ 0.3 A / cm and / or induction B ≥ 1.90 T at 100 A / cm, preferably B ≥ 1.95 T at 100 A / cm, preferably B ≥ 2.00 T at 100 A / cm.

[0017] The hysteresis losses P Hystare determined from the core losses P at an induction amplitude of 1.5T across the y-axis intercept in a P / f plot versus frequency f by linear regression. The linear regression is performed using at least 8 measured values, which are distributed approximately evenly over the frequency range from 50 Hz to 1 kHz (e.g., at 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1,000 Hz).

[0018] In one embodiment, the alloy has a maximum permeability µ max ≥ µ max ≥ 10,000, an electrical resistance p ≥ 0.28 µΩm, hysteresis losses P Hys ≤ 0.055 J / kg at an amplitude of 1.5 T, a coercive field strength H cof ≤ 0.5 A / cm and an induction B ≥ 1.95 T at 100 A / cm. This combination of properties is particularly advantageous for use as or in a rotor or stator of an electric motor to reduce the size of the rotor or stator and thus the electric motor and / or increase the power, or to generate higher torque with the same size and / or weight.

[0019] The soft magnetic alloy can thus be used in an electrical machine, such as in a stator and / or rotor of an electric motor and / or a generator, and / or in a transformer and / or in an electromagnetic actuator. It can be provided in the form of a sheet, for example, with a thickness of 0.5 mm to 0.05 mm. Several sheets of the alloy can be stacked to form a laminated core, which is used as a stator or rotor.

[0020] The alloy has an electrical resistivity of at least 0.25 µΩm, preferably at least 0.3 µΩm. Eddy current losses can be reduced to a lower level by choosing a slightly lower strip thickness.

[0021] In further embodiments, the composition of the soft magnetic alloy is defined in more detail, where 10 wt.% ≤ Co ≤ 20 wt.%, preferably 15 wt.% ≤ Co ≤ 20 wt.% and 0.3 wt.% ≤ V ≤ 5.0 wt.%, preferably 1.0 wt.% ≤ V ≤ 3.0 wt.%, preferably 1.3 wt.% ≤ V ≤ 2.7 wt.% and / or 0.1 wt.% ≤ Cr+Si ≤ 2.0 wt.%, preferably 0.2 wt.% ≤ Cr+Si ≤ 1.0 wt.%, preferably 0.25 wt.% ≤ Cr+Si ≤ 0.7 wt.%.

[0022] In one embodiment, the molecular formula is defined in more detail, where 0.2 wt.% ≤ Cr+Si+Al+Mn ≤ 1.5 wt.%, preferably 0.3 wt.% ≤ Cr+Si+Al+Mn ≤ 0.6 wt.%.

[0023] The soft magnetic alloy may also contain silicon, where 0.1 wt% ≤ Si ≤ 2.0 wt%, preferably 0.15 wt% ≤ Si ≤ 1.0 wt%, preferably 0.2 wt% ≤ Si ≤ 0.5 wt%.

[0024] Aluminum and silicon can be exchanged for each other, so that in one embodiment the sum of Si and aluminum (Si+Al) is 0 wt% ≤ (Si + Al) ≤ 3.0 wt%.

[0025] The alloys are virtually carbon-free and contain a maximum of 0.02 wt% carbon, preferably ≤ 0.01 wt% carbon. This maximum carbon content is considered an unavoidable impurity.

[0026] Calcium, beryllium, and / or magnesium can be added to the alloys in small amounts up to 0.05 wt.% for deoxidation and desulfurization. To achieve particularly good deoxidation, up to 0.05 wt.% cerium or mixed cerium metal can be added.

[0027] The improved magnetic properties can be achieved according to the invention through a heat treatment tailored to the composition as follows. In particular, it has been found that determining the phase transition temperatures for the selected compositions and determining the heat treatment temperatures and cooling rates in relation to these determined phase transition temperatures leads to improved magnetic properties. Furthermore, it is taken into account that alloys with a cobalt content of a maximum of 25 weight percent do not exhibit an order-to-disorder transition, so that no quenching is necessary during production to avoid ordering and the resulting embrittlement.

[0028] CoFe alloys are conventionally used in strip thicknesses ranging from 0.50 mm down to very thin dimensions of 0.050 mm. For strip processing, the material is conventionally hot-rolled and then cold-rolled to the final thickness. During cooling after hot rolling, an embrittlement of the order formation occurs at approximately 730°C, so that for sufficient cold rollability, a special intermediate annealing followed by quenching is required to suppress the order formation. This quenching is omitted for this alloy because it does not exhibit an order-to-disorder transition, which simplifies production.

[0029] To achieve their magnetic properties, CoFe alloys undergo a final heat treatment, also known as final magnetic annealing. For this, the material is heated to the annealing temperature, held at that temperature for a specific time, and then cooled at a defined rate. It is advantageous to perform this final annealing at the highest possible temperatures and in a dry, pure hydrogen atmosphere. High temperatures, on the one hand, increase the reduction of impurities by the hydrogen and, on the other hand, coarsen the grain structure, thus improving the soft magnetic properties such as coercivity and permeability.

[0030] In practice, the annealing temperature in the CoFe system is limited because in the binary system, a phase transition occurs at approximately 950°C, transforming the magnetic and ferritic BCC phase into the non-magnetic and austenitic FCC phase. When alloyed, a two-phase region is formed between the FCC and BCC phases, in which both phases coexist. The transition between the BCC phase and the two-phase or BCC / FCC mixed region occurs at a temperature T Ü1 and the transition between the two-phase region and the FCC phase at a temperature T Ü2 , where T Ü2 > T Ü1The position and size of the two-phase region further depend on the type and extent of the additional alloying. If annealing takes place in the two-phase region or in the FCC region, residues of the FCC phase can damage the magnetism after cooling and incomplete re-transformation. Even with complete re-transformation, a damaging effect remains across the additional grain boundaries because the coercive field strength is inversely proportional to the grain diameter. Consequently, the known, commercially available alloys with Co contents of around 20 wt.% are finally annealed at temperatures below the two-phase region BCC+FCC. For example, the recommendation for AFK 18 is 3h / 850°C, for AFK 1 3h / 900°C. For VACOFLUX 17 the recommendation is 10h / 850°C.

[0031] At such low final annealing temperatures and due to the relatively high magnetocrystalline anisotropy (K1 approx. 45,000 J / m 3At 17 wt.% Co), the potential for particularly good soft magnetic properties in these FeCo alloys is limited. For example, with VACOFLUX 17 tape, maximum permeabilities of around 4,000 can only be achieved, with a coercive field strength of typically 1 A / cm, which limits their application.

[0032] In contrast to these known final annealing processes, the composition enables a heat treatment that produces better magnetic properties than the single-stage annealing with furnace cooling commonly used for FeCo alloys, regardless of the temperature range in which the single-stage annealing takes place. The alloys are selected to shift the lower limit of the two-phase region and the BCC / FCC phase transition upwards, enabling annealing at high temperatures, for example, above 925°C in the pure BCC region. Annealing at such high temperatures is not feasible with previously known FeCo alloys.

[0033] Furthermore, due to the composition, the width of the two-phase region, ie the difference between the lower transition temperature T Ü1 and the upper transition temperature T Ü2 , kept as narrow as possible. Thus, by conducting a final anneal above the two-phase region, combined with cooling through the two-phase region and subsequent holding time or controlled cooling in the pure BCC region, the advantages of a high final anneal, ie, the elimination of potentially magnetically unfavorable textures, the cleaning effect under H2, and the growth of large grains, are obtained without the risk of magnetically harmful residues of the FCC phase.

[0034] It has been found that compositions with a phase transition between the pure BCC region and the BCC / FCC mixed region exhibit significantly improved magnetic properties at higher temperatures, for example, above 925°C, and with a narrow two-phase region, for example, less than 45 K. Compositions with this particular combination of phase diagram features are selected according to the invention and heat-treated accordingly to ensure a high permeability of more than 5000 or more than 10,000.

[0035] Vanadium has been identified as one of the most effective elements in an Fe-Co alloy, increasing electrical resistance while simultaneously shifting the two-phase region to higher temperatures. With lower Co contents, the increase in transition temperatures by vanadium is more effective. In the Fe-17Co alloy, the addition of approximately 2% vanadium can even raise the transition temperatures above the value of the binary FeCo composition.

[0036] In the Fe-Co system, starting with approximately 15% cobalt, the BCC / FCC phase transition occurs at temperatures lower than the Curie temperature. Since the FCC phase is paramagnetic, the magnetic phase transition is no longer determined by the Curie temperature, but rather by the BCC / FCC phase transition. Vanadium in sufficiently high amounts shifts the BCC / FCC phase transition above the Curie temperature T c , so that the paramagnetic BCC phase becomes visible.

[0037] However, if the vanadium content is too high, the width of the mixed region increases. These compositions exhibit lower maximum permeability values, even though the phase transition between the BCC / FCC mixed region and the pure BCC region occurs at higher temperatures. Consequently, it has been determined that the composition influences both the temperatures at which the phase transitions occur and the width of the mixed region and should be considered when selecting the composition. The heat treatment temperatures can be selected relative to the temperatures at which the phase transitions occur for this composition to achieve the highest permeability values.

[0038] It was thus found that a more precise determination of the temperatures at which phase transitions occur for a specific composition is advantageous in optimizing the manufacturing process. These can be determined using DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) measurements. The DSC measurement can be performed with a sample mass of 50 mg and a DSC heating rate of 10 Kelvin per minute, and the resulting phase transition temperatures during heating and cooling of the sample can be used to determine the temperatures for heat treatment.

[0039] Chromium and other elements can be added to improve electrical resistance or mechanical properties, for example. Chromium, like most other elements, lowers the two-phase region of the binary Fe-17Co alloy. The proportion of the alloying element alongside vanadium is therefore preferably selected so that, in combination with vanadium, the two-phase region is increased compared to the binary FeCo alloy. To achieve this, impurities and elements that particularly stabilize austenite (e.g., nickel) must be kept as low as possible.

[0040] The following contents have proven to be preferred for achieving very good magnetic properties: Cobalt of 5 wt.% ≤ Co ≤ 25 wt.% and preferred are contents of 10 wt.% ≤ Co ≤ 20 wt.%, most preferred are contents of 15 wt.% ≤ Co ≤ 20 wt.% Vanadium of 0.3 wt% ≤ V ≤ 5.0 wt% and preferred are contents of 1.0 wt% ≤ V ≤ 3.0 wt% and the following molecular formula: 0.2 wt% ≤ Cr + Si + Al + Mn ≤ 3.0 wt%.

[0041] The alloys are virtually carbon-free and contain a maximum of 0.02 wt% carbon, preferably ≤ 0.01 wt% carbon. This maximum carbon content is considered an unavoidable impurity.

[0042] Calcium, beryllium, and / or magnesium can be added to the alloys in small amounts up to 0.05 wt.% for deoxidation and desulfurization. To achieve particularly good deoxidation and desulfurization, up to 0.05 wt.% cerium or cerium mixed metal can be added.

[0043] The composition allows for further improvement. Cobalt has a higher diffusion coefficient in the paramagnetic BCC phase than in the ferromagnetic BCC phase. Therefore, vanadium enables the separation of the two-phase region and the Curie temperature T c a further temperature range with high self-diffusion, so that heat treatment in this range or cooling through this range enables a larger BCC grain structure and thus better soft magnetic properties. Furthermore, the separation of the two-phase region and the Curie temperature T c This means that upon cooling, both the transition through the BCC / FCC two-phase region and the transition into the pure BCC phase region occur entirely in the paramagnetic state. This also has a positive effect on the soft magnetic properties.

[0044] According to the invention, a method for producing a soft magnetic FeCo alloy according to claim 1 or claim 2 is provided. A precursor is provided which has a composition consisting essentially of 5 wt.% ≤ Co ≤ 25 wt% 0.3 wt.% ≤ V ≤ 5.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Cr ≤ 3.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Si ≤ 3.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Mn ≤ 3.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Al ≤ 3.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ta ≤ 0.5 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ni ≤ 0.5 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Mon ≤ 0.5 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Cu ≤ 0.2 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Nb ≤ 0.25 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ti ≤ 0.05 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ce ≤ 0.05 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ca ≤ 0.05 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Mg ≤ 0.05 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ C ≤ 0.02 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Zr ≤ 0.1 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ O ≤ 0.025 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ S ≤ 0.015 wt% The remainder is iron, with Cr+Si+Al+Mn ≤ 3.0 wt.%, and up to 0.2 wt.% of other melt-related impurities. The other impurities may include, for example, one or more of the elements B, P, N, W, Hf, Y, Re, Sc, Be, and other lanthanides except Ce. The precursor has a cold-rolled texture or a fibrous texture.

[0045] The precursor or the parts manufactured from the precursor are heat-treated. In one embodiment, the precursor is heat-treated at a temperature T1 and then cooled from T1 to room temperature.

[0046] In an alternative embodiment, the precursor is cooled at a temperature T1, then to a temperature T2 above room temperature, and further heat-treated at temperature T2, where T1 > T2. Only after the heat treatment at temperature T2 is the precursor cooled to room temperature.

[0047] The precursor exhibits a phase transition from a BCC phase region, into a BCC / FCC mixed region to an FCC phase region, whereby with increasing temperature the phase transition between the BCC phase region and the BCC / FCC mixed region occurs at a first transition temperature T Ü1 and with further increasing temperature the transition between the BCC / FCC mixed region and the FCC phase region at a second transition temperature T Ü2 takes place, where T Ü2 > T Ü1 . The temperature T1 is above T Ü2 and the temperature T2 is below T Ü1 .

[0048] The transition temperatures T Ü1 and T Ü2 depend on the composition of the precursor. The transition temperatures T Ü1 and T Ü2 can be determined by DSC measurements, whereby the transition temperature T Ü1 during heating and the transition temperature T Ü2 during cooling. In one embodiment, the transition temperature T Ü1 with a sample mass of 50 mg and a DSC heating rate of 10 Kelvin per minute above 900°C, preferably above 920°C, and preferably above 940°C.

[0049] In one embodiment, the solidus temperature of the precursor is taken into account when selecting temperatures T1 and T2. It is 940°C ≤ T1 < T m , preferably 960°C ≤ T1 < T m , and 700°C ≤ T2 ≤ 1050°C and T2 < T1, where T m is the solidus temperature.

[0050] The difference T ü2 - T ü1is less than 45K, preferably less than 25K.

[0051] In one embodiment, the cooling rate over at least the temperature range from T1 to T2 is 10°C / h to 900°C / h, preferably 20°C / h to 1000°C / h, preferably 20°C / h to 900°C / h, preferably 25°C / h to 500°C / h. This cooling rate can be used in both of the above-mentioned heat treatments.

[0052] In one embodiment, the difference T ü2 - T ü1 less than 45K, preferably less than 25K, T1 is above T Ü2 and T2 is below T Ü1 where 940°C ≤ T1 < T m , 700°C ≤ T2 ≤ 1050°C and T2 < T1, where T m is the solidus temperature, and the cooling rate is 10°C / h to 900°C / h over at least the temperature range from T1 to T2. This combination of alloy properties, ie T ü2 and T ü1, with the temperatures T1 and T2 of the heat treatment can be used to achieve particularly high permeability values.

[0053] In one embodiment, the precursor is kept above T for a time of more than 30 minutes. Ü2 heat treated and then cooled to T2.

[0054] In one embodiment, the precursor is heat-treated at T1 for a time t1, where 15 minutes ≤ t1 ≤ 20 hours, and then cooled from T1 to T2. In one embodiment, the precursor is cooled from T1 to T2, heat-treated at T2 for a time t2, where 30 minutes ≤ t2 ≤ 20 hours, and then cooled from T2 to room temperature.

[0055] In embodiments where the precursor is cooled from T1 to room temperature, the precursor may then be heated from room temperature to T2 and heat treated at T2 according to any of the embodiments described herein.

[0056] Since the alloy does not exhibit an order-to-disorder transition, quenching over the temperature range of 800°C to 600°C is not required. The cooling rate from 800°C to 600°C can, for example, be between 100°C / h and 500°C / h. However, it can also be chosen slower in principle. The cooling rates mentioned can also be easily maintained until cooling to room temperature.

[0057] The precursor can be cooled from T1 to room temperature at a rate of 25°C / h to 500°C / h.

[0058] The cooling rate of T2 to room temperature has less influence on the magnetic properties, so the precursor of T2 can be cooled to room temperature at a rate of 10°C / h to 50,000°C / h, preferably 100°C / h to 1000°C / h.

[0059] In another alternative embodiment, the precursor is cooled from T1 to room temperature at a cooling rate of 10°C / h to 900°C / h. In embodiments with a slow cooling from T1 to room temperature, for example, at a cooling rate of less than 500°C / h, preferably less than 200°C / h, further heat treatment at temperature T2 can be omitted.

[0060] After heat treatment, the soft magnetic alloy can exhibit one of the following combinations of properties: a maximum permeability µ max ≥ 5,000, and / or an electrical resistance p ≥ 0.25 µΩm, and / or hysteresis losses P Hys ≤ 0.07 J / kg at an amplitude of 1.5 T, a coercive field strength H c of 0.7 A / cm and induction B ≥ 1.90 T at 100 A / cm, or a maximum permeability µ max≥ 10,000, and / or an electrical resistance p ≥ 0.25 µΩm, and / or hysteresis losses P Hys ≤ 0.06 J / kg at an amplitude of 1.5 T, and / or a coercive field strength H c of ≤ 0.6 A / cm, preferably H c ≤ 0.5 A / cm and / or induction B ≥ 1.95 T at 100 A / cm, or a maximum permeability µ max ≥ 12,000, preferably µ max ≥ 17,000 and / or an electrical resistance p ≥ 0.30 µΩm, and / or hysteresis losses P Hys ≤ 0.05 J / kg at an amplitude of 1.5 T, and / or a coercive field strength H c of ≤ 0.5 A / cm, preferably H c ≤ 0.4 A / cm, preferably H c ≤ 0.3 A / cm and / or induction B ≥ 2.00 T at 100 A / cm.

[0061] In certain embodiments, the soft magnetic alloy has one of the following combinations of properties: a maximum permeability µ max≥ 5,000, an electrical resistance p ≥ 0.25 µΩm, hysteresis losses P Hys ≤ 0.07 J / kg at an amplitude of 1.5 T, a coercive field strength H c of ≤ 0.7 A / cm and induction B ≥ 1.90 T at 100 A / cm, or a maximum permeability µ max ≥ 10,000, an electrical resistance p ≥ 0.25 µΩm, hysteresis losses P Hys ≤ 0.06 J / kg at an amplitude of 1.5 T, a coercive field strength H c of ≤ 0.6 A / cm and induction B ≥ 1.95 T at 100 A / cm, or a maximum permeability µ max ≥ 12,000, an electrical resistance p ≥ 0.28 µΩm, hysteresis losses P Hys ≤ 0.05 J / kg at an amplitude of 1.5 T, a coercive field strength H c of ≤ 0.5 A / cm and induction B ≥ 2.00 T at 100 A / cm. a maximum permeability µ max ≥ 17,000, an electrical resistance p ≥ 0.30 µΩm, hysteresis losses P Hys≤ 0.05 J / kg at an amplitude of 1.5 T, a coercive field strength H c of ≤ 0.4 A / cm, preferably H c of ≤ 0.3 A / cm and induction B ≥ 2.00 T at 100 A / cm.

[0062] In one embodiment, the maximum difference in coercive field strength H c after heat treatment, measured parallel to the rolling direction, measured diagonally (45°) to the rolling direction, or measured perpendicular to the rolling direction between two of these directions, a maximum of 6%, preferably a maximum of 3%. In other words, the maximum difference in coercive field strength H c measured parallel to the rolling direction and measured diagonally (45°) to the rolling direction is a maximum of 6%, preferably a maximum of 3% and / or the maximum difference in the coercive field strength H c measured parallel to the rolling direction and measured perpendicular to the rolling direction is a maximum of 6%, preferably a maximum of 3% and / or the maximum difference in the coercive field strength H cMeasured diagonally (45°) to the rolling direction, or measured perpendicular to the rolling direction between two of these directions, a maximum of 6%, preferably a maximum of 3%. This anisotropy, which is extremely low for soft magnetic FeCo alloys, leads to uniform properties along the circumference in rotor or stator applications, and therefore there is no need to twist rotor or stator laminations in each lamination layer to ensure sufficient isotropy of the magnetic properties in the lamination stack.

[0063] The heat treatment can be carried out under a hydrogen-containing atmosphere or under an inert gas.

[0064] In one embodiment, the heat treatment is performed at T1 in a stationary furnace and at T2 in a stationary furnace or a continuous furnace. In another embodiment, the heat treatment is performed at T1 in a continuous furnace and at T2 in a stationary furnace or a continuous furnace.

[0065] The precursor product may have a cold-rolled texture or a fiber texture before heat treatment.

[0066] The precursor product can be provided in the form of a strip. At least one sheet can be manufactured from the strip by punching, laser cutting, or waterjet cutting. In one embodiment, the heat treatment is performed on punched, laser-cut, eroded, or waterjet-cut sheet metal sections manufactured from the strip material.

[0067] In one embodiment, after heat treatment, several sheets are bonded to form a laminated core using an insulating adhesive, or are superficially oxidized to create an insulating layer and then bonded or laser welded to form the laminated core, or are coated with an inorganic-organic hybrid coating and then further processed to form the laminated core.

[0068] In some embodiments, the precursor product has the shape of a laminated core, and the laminated core is heat-treated according to one of the embodiments described herein. The heat treatment can thus be performed on punched or welded laminated cores manufactured from sheet metal blanks.

[0069] The precursor product can be produced as follows. A melt can be provided, for example, by vacuum induction melting, electroslag remelting or vacuum arc remelting, wherein the melt consists essentially of 5 wt.% ≤ Co ≤ 25 wt% 0.3 wt.% ≤ V ≤ 5.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Cr ≤ 3.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Si ≤ 3.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Mn ≤ 3.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Al ≤ 3.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ta ≤ 0.5 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ni ≤ 0.5 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Mon ≤ 0.5 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Cu ≤ 0.2 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Nb ≤ 0.25 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ti ≤ 0.05 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ce ≤ 0.05 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ca ≤ 0.05 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Mg ≤ 0.05 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ C ≤ 0.02 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Zr ≤ 0.1 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ O ≤ 0.025 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ S ≤ 0.025 wt% The remainder is iron, with Cr+Si+Al+Mn ≤ 3.0 wt.%, and up to 0.2 wt.% other impurities. Other impurities may include one or more of the elements B, P, N, W, Hf, Y, Re, Sc, Be, and other lanthanides except Ce. The melt is solidified into an ingot, which is then formed into a precursor with final dimensions. The forming is carried out by means of hot rolling and / or forging and / or cold forming.

[0070] In one embodiment, the cast ingot is formed into a slab with a thickness D1 by hot rolling at temperatures between 900°C and 1300°C and then formed into a strip with a thickness D2 by cold rolling, where 1.0 mm ≤ D1 ≤ 5.0 mm and 0.05 mm ≤ D2 ≤ 1.0 mm, where D2 < D1. The degree of cold deformation by cold rolling can be >40%, preferably >80%.

[0071] In one embodiment, the cast ingot is formed into a billet by hot rolling at temperatures between 900°C and 1300°C and then formed into a wire by cold drawing. The degree of cold deformation by cold drawing can be >40%, preferably >80%.

[0072] Intermediate annealing at an intermediate dimension in a continuous furnace or in a stationary furnace can be carried out to reduce work hardening and thus adjust the desired degree of cold deformation.

[0073] The Curie temperature of the alloy can be taken into account when selecting temperatures T1 and / or T2. For example, T ü1 > T c , where T c is the Curie temperature, and T c ≥ 900°C. In one embodiment, T ü1 > T2 > T c chosen.

[0074] For compositions where there is a separation of the two-phase region and the Curie temperature T cThere is a further temperature range with high self-diffusion, so that heat treatment in this range or cooling through this range enables a larger BCC grain structure and thus better soft magnetic properties. Furthermore, the separation of the two-phase region and the Curie temperature T c This means that upon cooling, both the passage through the two-phase region BCC / FCC and the transition into the region of the pure BCC phase occur entirely in the paramagnetic state. By selecting the temperature T2 such that T ü1 > T2 > T c the soft magnetic properties can be further improved.

[0075] In one embodiment, the average grain size after the final annealing is at least 100µm, preferably at least 200µm, preferably at least 250µm.

[0076] In one embodiment, the measured density of the annealed alloy is more than 0.10% lower than the density calculated by the rule of three from the average atomic weight of the metallic elements of the alloy, from the average atomic weight of the metallic elements of the corresponding binary FeCo alloy and from the measured density of this annealed binary FeCo alloy.

[0077] Due to heat treatment, the sulfur content in the finished alloy may be lower than in the melt. For example, the upper limit of the sulfur content in the melt may be 0.025 weight percent, while in the finished soft magnetic alloy, the upper limit is 0.015 weight percent.

[0078] In one embodiment, the precursor is further coated with an oxide layer for electrical insulation. This embodiment can be used, for example, when the precursor is used in a laminated core. The laminated cores or the laminated core can be coated with an oxide layer. The precursor can be coated with a layer of magnesium methylate or, preferably, zirconium propylate, which converts into an insulating oxide layer during heat treatment. The precursor can be heat-treated in an oxygen- or water vapor-containing atmosphere to form the electrically insulating layer.

[0079] In one embodiment, furthermore, punched, laser-cut, or eroded sheet metal sections from the preliminary product are subjected to a final annealing, and the annealed individual sheets are then bonded to a sheet stack using an insulating adhesive, or the annealed individual sheets are superficially oxidized to create an insulating layer and then bonded, welded, or laser-welded to form the sheet stack, or the annealed individual sheets are coated with an inorganic-organic hybrid coating such as Remisol-C5 and then further processed to form the sheet stack.

[0080] The soft magnetic alloy according to any of the preceding embodiments, which can be produced by any of the methods described herein, can be used in an electrical machine, such as as or in a stator and / or rotor of an electric motor and / or a generator, and / or in a transformer and / or in an electromagnetic actuator.

The sheet thickness in each case was 0.35 mm. Fig. Figure 17 shows a diagram of the maximum permeability as a function of the relative density difference Δp for Fe-17Co based alloys for the data from Table 25.

[0082] A soft magnetic alloy is provided which consists essentially of: 5 wt.% ≤ Co ≤ 25 wt% 0.3 wt.% ≤ V ≤ 5.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Cr ≤ 3.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Si ≤ 3.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Mn ≤ 3.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Al ≤ 3.0 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ni ≤ 0.5 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Mon ≤ 0.5 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ta ≤ 0.5 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Cu ≤ 0.2 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Nb ≤ 0.1 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ti ≤ 0.05 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ce ≤ 0.05 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Mg ≤ 0.05 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ C ≤ 0.02 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Ca ≤ 0.05 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ Zr ≤ 0.1 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ O ≤ 0.025 wt% 0 wt.% ≤ S ≤ 0.015 wt% The remainder is iron, and up to 0.2 wt.% of other melt-related impurities. The impurities can be, for example, one or more of the elements B, P, N, W, Hf, Y, Re, Sc, Be, or other lanthanides except Ce.

[0083] To increase the electrical resistance, in addition to the alloying element vanadium, one or more of the group of Cr, Si, Al and Mn can be added to the extent that the following molecular formula is fulfilled: 0.05 wt.%≤Cr+Si+Al+Mn≤3.0 wt.%

[0084] The alloy is preferably melted in vacuum induction furnaces. However, processing via vacuum arc remelting and electroslag remelting is also possible. The melt first solidifies into an ingot, which is freed from the oxide skin and then forged or hot-rolled at temperatures between 900 °C and 1300 °C. Alternatively, the oxide skin can be removed from previously forged or hot-rolled bars. The desired size can be achieved by hot-forming strips, billets, or bars. Hot-rolled material can be freed of surface oxides by blasting, grinding, or peeling. The desired final size can also be achieved by cold-forming strips, bars, or wires. For cold-rolled strips, a grinding process can be inserted between the hot-rolling process to remove oxide roots.If excessive hardening has occurred after cold forming, one or more intermediate annealings can be performed for recovery and recrystallization at temperatures between 400 °C and 1300 °C. The thickness or diameter for the intermediate annealing should be selected so that a cold deformation of > 40% of the final thickness is achieved, preferably a cold deformation of > 80%.

[0085] The final processing step is a heat treatment at temperatures between 700 °C and the solidus temperature T m (typically, however, a maximum of 1200°C), also known as magnetic final annealing. The final annealing is preferably carried out in a pure, dry hydrogen atmosphere. Annealing under protective gas or in a vacuum is also possible.

[0086] Fig.Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of three heat treatment variants with respect to the phase transitions and in particular to the FCC, FCC+BCC and BCC regions.

[0087] In variant 1, which is part of the claimed invention and is indicated by the solid line in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, a first annealing step in the FCC region is immediately followed by a second annealing step in the BCC region. The second annealing step is optional and can be used to further improve the soft magnetic properties, in particular the permeability and the hysteresis losses. In variant 2, which is part of the claimed invention and is indicated by the dashed line in Fig. 1, the first annealing stage in the FCC region is first cooled to room temperature. The second annealing stage in the BCC region takes place at a later time. In variant 3, which is not part of the claimed invention and is indicated by the dotted line in the Fig. 1, the annealing stage is cooled to room temperature in a controlled manner in the FCC area. Such controlled cooling can also be carried out in variant 1 when cooling from the 1st stage to the 2nd stage (in Fig. 1 not shown).

[0088] Annealing can be performed either in two stages or by controlled cooling from a temperature above the upper transition temperature. Controlled cooling means that a defined cooling rate is maintained to optimally adjust the soft magnetic properties. In any case, one of the annealing stages takes place in the FCC region. The annealing processes according to the invention can be carried out either in a continuous furnace or in a stationary furnace.

[0089] During the annealing according to the invention, the alloy is heated at least once at a temperature above T ü2 between 900°C (when T ü2 > 900°C, then above T ü2 ) and T mannealed in the austenitic FCC region to produce a large grain, utilize the cleaning effect of hydrogen, and remove any magnetically unfavorable textures. This final annealing stage above T ü2 takes place either in a stationary annealing process or in a continuous furnace. This heat treatment step can alternatively be performed on the strip in a continuous furnace. The alloy is then cooled to room temperature or to a temperature between 700°C and 1,000°C in the BCC region at a rate of 10 to 50,000°C per hour, preferably at a rate of 20 to 1,000°C per hour.

[0090] A second annealing step can be carried out either by heating or by holding in the ferritic BCC region at a temperature between 700°C and 1000°C (when T ü1 < 1000°C, then below T ü1) to remove any remaining FCC phase residues. After a final magnetic anneal, the alloy is then cooled from the annealing temperature at a rate of 10 to 50,000°C per hour, preferably at a rate of 20-1,000°C per hour.

[0091] The alloys exhibit a phase transition from a BCC phase region into a BCC / FCC mixed region and, at a slightly higher temperature, a further phase transition from the BCC / FCC mixed region to an FCC phase region, whereby, with increasing temperature, the phase transition between the BCC phase region and the BCC / FCC mixed region occurs at a first transition temperature T Ü1 and with further increasing temperature the transition between the BCC / FCC mixed region and the FCC phase region at a second transition temperature T Ü2 takes place, as in the Fig. 2 is shown.

[0092] The temperature at which the phase transitions from a BCC phase region to a BCC / FCC mixed region and from the BCC / FCC mixed region to an FCC phase region occur can be determined by DSC measurements. Fig. Figure 2 shows a typical DSC heating and cooling curve during the phase transition using the example of batch 930423. The Curie temperature and the 1st onset temperatures of the phase transition are shown in the Fig. 2 also shown.

[0093] The following figures show the results of DSC measurements carried out using a dynamic heat flow differential calorimeter from Netzsch. Two identical crucibles made of corundum (Al2O3) are placed in a furnace, one containing the actual test sample and the other a calibration sample serving as a reference. Both crucibles are subjected to the same temperature program, which can consist of a combination of heating, cooling, or isothermal phases. The heat flow difference is quantitatively determined by measuring the temperature difference at a defined heat conduction path between the sample and the reference. The various maxima and minima (peaks) determined during a DSC measurement can be assigned to specific types of phase transformations based on their curve shapes. Typical curve progressions arise that are material-specific but also depend on the measurement conditions, in particular the sample mass and the heating and cooling rates.To ensure comparability of the measurements, the heating and cooling rates of the measuring device and the sample masses of the samples examined here were chosen to be the same. The heating and cooling rates used in these studies were 10 K / min each, and the sample mass was 50 mg each.

[0094] The transition temperatures T Ü1 and T Ü2are determined using a DSC measurement by heating the sample to a defined mass and heating rate. In this measurement, the transition temperatures are represented by the first onset. This parameter, defined in DIN 51005 ("Thermal Analysis"), is also referred to as the extrapolated peak onset temperature, which represents the beginning of the phase transition and is defined as the intersection point of the extrapolated initial baseline with the tangent through the linear part of a rising or falling peak flank. The advantage of this parameter is that it is independent of sample mass and heating or cooling rates. The width of the two-phase region is defined as the difference between the temperatures of the first onset: T1. Onset(BCC+FCC→FCC)(from DSC heating)−T1. Onset(BCC+FCC→BCC)=TU¨2−TU¨1(from DSC cooling)

[0095] The influence of composition on the transition temperatures T Ü1 and T Ü2are determined using a DSC measurement.

[0096] Fig. Figure 3 shows the first onset temperatures of the phase transition of the Fe-17Co-Cr-V alloys with increasing V content (circles) compared to the binary Fe-17Co alloy (squares) for heating (filled symbols) and cooling (open symbols). The compositions of the alloys are given in Tables 1 to 4.

[0097] The peak Curie temperatures T c of heating (DSC) and cooling (DSC) are shown as diamonds. For the special melts with lower V contents, T c the temperature of the phase transition. The highest measured maximum permeability µ max (triangles) is plotted on the secondary axis. The highest maximum permeabilities are achieved here for V contents between 1 and 3 wt.%.

[0098] Fig. 3 shows that with increasing V content the phase transitions T Ü2and T Ü1 to higher temperatures and that the width of the two-phase region BCC+FCC, ie (T Ü2 - T Ü1 ) becomes larger.

[0099] To adjust the soft magnetic properties, a final annealing is performed. This was always carried out in a protective H2 atmosphere during this study. The H2 quality used was always hydrogen 3.0 (or technical hydrogen) with an H2 content of > 99.9%, where H2O ≤ 40 ppm-mol, O2 ≤ 10 ppm-mol, and N2 ≤ 100 ppm-v.

[0100] The magnetic properties of the alloys were investigated using strip material made from 5 kg cast ingots. The alloys were melted under vacuum and then cast into a flat mold at approximately 1500 °C. After milling off the oxide skin from the individual cast ingots, the ingots were hot-rolled into 3.5 mm thick strips at a temperature of approximately 1000 °C to 1300 °C. The resulting hot-rolled strips were then pickled to remove the oxide skin and then cold-rolled to a thickness of 0.35 mm. To characterize the magnetic properties, sample rings were punched from the strip and resistance strips were cut. The electrical resistance p was determined on the resistance strips. The maximum permeability µ max , the coercive field strength H c , the inductions B at field strengths of 20, 25, 50, 90, 100 and 160A / cm, the remanence B r and the hysteresis losses P Hystwas measured on the manufactured sample rings in the annealed state at room temperature. The hysteresis losses were determined by measuring the losses at an induction amplitude of 1.5T for various frequencies. The intercept in the plot P / f versus f, determined by linear regression, yields the hysteresis losses.

[0101] A slice was sawn off the cast ingots for element analysis. The results of the analysis can be seen in Tables 1 to 4. Table 1 shows the wet chemical analysis of the metallic elements to determine the basic composition. The remainder is iron, other elements < 0.01% are not specified; the values ​​are in wt.%. Table 2 shows the analysis of the non-metallic impurities in the batches from Table 1 using hot gas extraction; the values ​​are in wt.%. Table 3 shows the wet chemical analysis of the metallic elements to fine-tune the basic composition and to limit the composition ranges and impurities. The remainder is iron, other elements < 0.01% are not specified. Values ​​are in wt.%. For batches 930502 and 930503, iron feedstock with a higher level of impurities was used.Table 4 shows the analysis of non-metallic impurities of the batches from Table 3 by hot gas extraction, with the values ​​given in wt.%.

[0102] Table 3 also shows the analysis of the metallic elements of two large melts. The remainder is iron, the P content of large melt 76 / 4988 is 0.003 wt.%, the P content of large melt 76 / 5180 is 0.002 wt.%. Other elements < 0.01% are not listed. Table 4 also shows the analysis of the non-metallic impurities of the two large melts from Table 3 by hot gas extraction, with the values ​​given in wt.%.

[0103] The Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 shows a statistical evaluation of the influence of the main alloying elements cobalt, vanadium and chromium on the induction values ​​after optimal annealing and the electrical resistance using multilinear regression.

[0104] Fig.Figure 4 shows the coefficients of the induction values ​​B after multilinear regression. The numbers after the B values ​​(e.g., B20) indicate the field strength in A / cm. The bars indicate the change in the induction values ​​when alloying with 1 wt.%. Only those elements whose regression value is greater than the regression error are shown.

[0105] Fig. Figure 5 shows electrical resistance coefficients after multilinear regression. The bars indicate the change in electrical resistance when alloying with 1 wt% of the respective elements.

[0106] From these figures, it can be seen that vanadium reduces low induction values ​​less than chromium. However, chromium increases electrical resistance more than vanadium for the same saturation drop (B160). Co increases saturation (B160) but has little effect on the low induction values ​​and electrical resistance.

[0107] Table 7 shows annealing variants according to the invention of the batch 93 / 0330 with a strip thickness of 0.35 mm compared to non-inventive annealing variants, see Fig. 1. The cooling rate is 150°C / h unless otherwise stated. The sample was not demagnetized prior to measurement.

[0108] Fig. Figure 6 shows the coercive field strength Hc of batch 930329 (Fe-17Co1.5V-0.5Cr) as a function of the reciprocal grain diameter d for different annealings. Table 5 shows the mean grain sizes d and coercive field strengths H c and maximum permeabilities µ max after specified annealing, see Fig. 4. The cooling rate was 150°C / h.

[0109] Table 6 shows DSC transition temperatures and Curie temperatures T c . Values ​​in °C. #NV means that no signal is detectable in the DSC measurement.

[0110] One of the reasons for the excellent soft magnetic properties is the unusually large grain structure for Fe-Co alloys, which is achieved after annealing in the FCC region. For example, after a brief annealing period of 4 hours at 1050°C, grain sizes of 354–447 µm were observed for batch 93 / 0330 (Fe-17Co-2V). Similarly large grains can only be achieved by annealing in the BCC region after several days of annealing. Fig. 6 shows, using batch 930329 as an example, the coercive field strength H c versus the reciprocal grain size. A linear relationship is shown.

[0111] To compare the above-mentioned annealing variants, the batch 930330 was examined as an example. Table 8 shows the results after a staged annealing of the first annealing stage (batch 93 / 0330), see Fig.6. The cooling rate is 150°C / h. As long as the first annealing step is performed in the lower FCC region (here at 1050°C), all annealing variants exhibit very good soft magnetic properties, which are significantly better than annealing in the pure BCC region. A second annealing step in the upper BCC region after the first annealing step in the FCC region further improves the values.

[0112] Fig. 7 shows the transition temperatures T ü1 and T ü2 as a function of the best achieved coercive field strength H c of the Fe-17Co special melts with different V contents. The labels indicate the V content. Fig. Figure 7 shows that the V content is crucial for adjusting the soft magnetic properties. If the V content is too low, there is no increase in T ü1 If the V content is too high, the soft magnetic properties deteriorate because the two-phase region (T ü2 - T ü1) is expanded by vanadium, see also Fig. 3 and Table 6. This results in a minimum of the coercive field strength H c at approximately 1.4 to 2 wt.% vanadium.

[0113] To find the optimal annealing temperature, samples are annealed at different annealing temperatures and then measured. If the number of annealings required exceeds the number of available samples, the same set of samples is usually annealed at different temperatures. In this so-called "step annealing," a low starting temperature is used and the temperature is gradually increased. Step annealing can be used to detect precipitation zones, recrystallization temperatures, or phase transformations that have a direct influence on magnetic properties.

[0114] Fig.Figure 8 shows the maximum permeability and coercive field strength after the first annealing stage. Table 9 shows the results after a step annealing of batch 93 / 0330 below the phase transition after a previous first annealing stage of 4 hours at 1000°C above the phase transition. The cooling rate is 150°C / h. An extended maximum around 1000°C is visible. The corresponding DSC measurement is included for comparison with the phase position.

[0115] Fig.Figure 9 shows maximum permeability and coercive field strength after step annealing in the second annealing stage below the phase transition (circles) after a previous first annealing stage for 4 hours at 1000°C above the phase transition (diamonds). Demagnetization was not performed before measuring the static values. A maximum at 950°C is visible. After the last annealing of the step annealing stage at 1000°C, the samples were annealed again for 10 hours at 950°C (triangles). The original values ​​of the step annealing at 950°C were no longer achieved. Passing through the two-phase region BCC+FCC again leads to deterioration of the soft magnetic properties.

[0116] The magnetic properties were measured for alloys of different compositions after different annealing processes. The results are summarized in Tables 10 to 24. The values ​​B 20 , B 25 , B 50 , B 90 , B 100 , B 160 (T) H c (A / cm), µmax , Br (T) and P Hyst . 1.5T (Ws / kg) are specified.

Demagnetization was not performed prior to measuring the static values.

[0122] Table 15 shows the results after annealing all Fe-Co-V-Cr charges for 4 hours at 1050°C. Cooling rate 150°C / h. No demagnetization was performed prior to measuring the static values. The resistances of charges 930322 to 930339 were measured after annealing for 4 hours at 850°C. For the V-rich charges 930422 and 930423, T ü2 to just below 1050°C. Adapted annealing stages are given in Table 18.

[0123] Table 16 shows the results after annealing all Fe-Co-V-Cr batches in the first annealing stage for 4 hours at 1050°C with cooling to room temperature and a subsequent second annealing stage for 10 hours at 910°C. Cooling rate 150°C / h. Demagnetization was performed prior to measurement. For the batches marked in gray, T ü1 either too close or too far above 910°C. Adapted annealing stages can be found in Table 17.

[0124] Table 17 shows the results after adjusting the annealing of those batches where the transition temperatures of the DSC measurement (Table 6) do not match, or only slightly match, the annealing of 4h 1050°C + 10h 910°C (Tables 15 and 16) according to the invention. The cooling rate is 150°C / h. The annealing of 4h 1050°C was not demagnetized prior to the measurement; all other annealings were demagnetized prior to the measurement.

[0125] Table 18 shows the results after annealing of the batch 930423 in different phase areas to clarify the influence of the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic BCC area on the magnetic properties, see also Fig. 2.

[0126] The cooling rate is 150°C / h. For the 4h annealing at 1050°C, the sample was not demagnetized prior to measurement; for all other annealings, demagnetization was performed prior to measurement.

[0127] Table 19 shows the results after annealing a selection of the batches for 4 hours at 1050°C, followed by slow cooling at 50°C / h to room temperature. Demagnetization was not performed prior to measuring the static values.

[0128] Table 20 shows the results after annealing a selection of the batches for 4 hours at 1050°C with slow cooling to room temperature at 50°C / h and a second annealing stage of 10 hours at 910°C with furnace cooling at approximately 150°C / h. Demagnetization was not performed before measuring the static values.

[0129] Table 21 shows the results after annealing a selection of the batches for 4 hours at 1100°C. The cooling rate is 150°C / h. Except for batches 930422 and 930423, no demagnetization was performed prior to measuring the static values.

[0130] Table 22 shows the results after annealing a selection of the batches with a first annealing stage of 4 hours at 1100°C and cooling to room temperature, and a second annealing stage of 10 hours at 910°C. The cooling rate is 150°C / h. Demagnetization was not performed before measuring the static values.

[0131] Table 23 shows the results after annealing a selection of the batches for 4 hours at 1150°C. The cooling rate is 150°C / h. Except for batch 930442, no demagnetization was performed prior to measuring the static values.

[0132] Table 24 shows the results after annealing a selection of the batches with a first annealing stage of 4 hours at 1150°C and cooling to room temperature, and a second annealing stage of 10 hours at 910°C. The cooling rate is 150°C / h. Demagnetization was not performed before measuring the static values.

[0133] Table 25 shows the maximum permeability and density data for various Fe-17Co alloy compositions with various additives. Starting with the binary Fe-16.98Co alloy, whose measured density is 7.942 g / cm 3, and their average atomic weight of 56.371 g / mol (calculated from the analyzed contents of the metallic alloying elements), the fictive density of Fe-17Co alloys with additions of V, Cr, Mn, Si, Al, and other metallic elements is calculated based on their average atomic weight and compared with the measured density. For example, for an alloy Fe-17.19Co-1.97V (batch 93 / 0330), the average atomic weight is 56.281 g / mol. Using the rule of three, one can then calculate 7.942 g / cm 3 × 56.281 / 56.371 = 7.929g / cm 3 Calculate a fictitious density that this Fe-17.19Co-1.97V alloy would have if its lattice constant were unchanged from the binary Fe-16.98Co alloy. In reality, however, this alloy is measured at 7.909 g / cm 3 a density which is -0.26% lower than the fictitious density 7.929g / cm 3 This means that the lattice constant of this alloy must be approximately 0.085% larger than that of the binary alloy.

[0134] Table 26 shows the data for selected batches and anneals which show particularly high maximum permeabilities and at the same time low hysteresis losses, and this at a very high level of induction B at 100A / cm (B 100 ).

[0135] Table 27 shows the data for the impurities C and S in ppm for selected batches and annealings. Annealing at 1050°C under hydrogen effectively reduces these impurities.

[0136] Table 28 shows the magnetic values ​​for the two large melts 76 / 4988 and 76 / 5180. The notation A and B indicate ingot A and ingot B, respectively—the melts were cast into two molds each. The resistivity of batch 76 / 4988 is 0.306 µΩm, and that of batch 76 / 5180 is 0.318 µΩm.

[0137] Table 29 shows the transition temperatures T for different batches ü1 and T ü2and the best achieved coercive field strength H c of these Fe-17Co special melts with different V contents, including details of the respective annealing treatment. The alloys also contain up to a total of 0.6 wt.% Cr and / or Si. The graphic representation of these data shows Fig. 7.

[0138] The Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 show that the BCC / FCC phase transition present in the alloy 930330 according to the invention has a strong influence on the maximum permeability and coercive field strength.

[0139] At the first glow stage ( Fig. 8) the 1st onset of cooling (= Tü1, lower limit of the two-phase region) agrees with the increase of µ max agree, µ max becomes maximum or Hc becomes minimum above the 1st onset of heating (= T Ü2 , upper limit of the two-phase region). At higher temperatures in the FCC region, the magnetic properties deteriorate again.

[0140] In the second glow stage ( Fig. 9) becomes µ max maximum below T Ü1 and decreases as the two-phase region is entered. If the two-phase region is exceeded and the annealing temperature is below T Ü1 (here 950°C) the maximum of µ max no longer achieved, probably due to the fact that this sample passed through the BCC+FCC mixed area twice and the resulting additional grain boundaries.

[0141] In summary, the best magnetic properties are achieved when the first annealing stage is carried out above T Ü2 takes place and the second annealing stage below T Ü1 .

[0142] The influence of the degree of cold deformation on the magnetic properties is investigated.

[0143] Fig. 10 shows coercive field strength H cof batches 930329 (Fe-17Co-0.5Cr-1.5V) and 930330 (Fe-17Co-2.0V) depending on the degree of cold working. For "without intermediate annealing," the hot-rolled thickness corresponds to a KV of 0%; for "with intermediate annealing," the thickness of the intermediate annealing corresponds to a KV of 0%.

[0144] The degree of cold deformation (KV) for strip with a final thickness of D2 is defined as the percentage reduction in thickness relative to a non-cold-formed initial thickness D1, since expansion during rolling can be neglected. The non-cold-formed initial thickness D1 can be achieved, for example, by hot rolling or intermediate annealing (ZGL). KV[%]=[(D1−D2) / D1]×100

[0145] In Fig. 10 can be recognized by the coercive field strength H c that with increasing KV, realized by intermediate annealing at different D1 = 1.3mm; 1.0mm; 0.60mm and the same final thickness D2 = 0.35mm, the magnetic properties improve up to about 90% KV.

[0146] Assuming a constant D1 at 3.5mm (hot rolling thickness) and realizing the cold forming by high rolling degrees at 0.20mm and 0.10mm, there is again an increase of H c , which is shown with the dashed line. This can be explained by the fact that at the highest degrees of cold work, too many nucleation sites for grains are created and the grains hinder each other's growth during annealing. For example, the alloy of batch 930329 (Fe-17Co-0.5Cr-1.5V) (each in wt.%), manufactured without intermediate annealing, after final annealing for 4 hours at T1=1000°C and for 10 hours at T2=910°C, has an average grain size of 0.25mm at a final thickness of 0.35mm, an average grain size of 0.21mm at a final thickness of 0.20mm, and an average grain size of 0.15mm at a final thickness of 0.10mm. There is therefore an optimal degree of cold work, which is around 90%.

[0147] To investigate whether texture formation is crucial for the magnetic properties, the texture was determined by X-ray diffraction on sheets measuring 50 mm x 45 mm.

[0148] Fig. Figure 11 shows (200) pole figures from batch 93 / 0330 (Fe-17Co-2V). The left panel shows the result for an unannealed sheet with a rolling texture. The middle panel shows the result for a sheet annealed at 910°C for 10 hours, which exhibits only a very weak texture. The right panel shows the result for a sheet annealed at 1050°C for 4 hours, which exhibits no texture. The bottom panel shows the result for a sheet annealed at 1050°C for 4 hours and 910°C for 10 hours, which exhibits no texture.

[0149] The angle-dependent Cu-K α= 0.154059295 nm was irradiated onto the sample, and the diffracted intensity was measured with a 2 mm pinhole. A Lynxexe semiconductor strip detector with a 2° angular range and energy-dispersive operation was used as the detector. As shown, for example, by the (200) pole figures, a rolling texture is present in the unannealed, as-rolled state, which completely dissolved after annealing in the FCC region at 1050°C in H2 for 4 hours.

[0150] The absence of texture is also consistent with the measurements of the direction-dependent H c For this purpose, five H c -Strips measuring 50mm × 10mm were taken from different directions relative to the rolling direction (longitudinal = 0°, diagonal = 45°, transverse = 90°) and measured in the Förster coercimate.

[0151] Fig. 12 shows the coercive field strength H cof batch 930330 (Fe-17Co-2V) measured parallel to the rolling direction ("longitudinal"), at 45° to the rolling direction, and perpendicular to the rolling direction ("transverse") for the specified annealing processes. Each point is the mean of five measurements. The error bars represent the standard deviation.

[0152] Fig. Figure 13 shows the coercive field strength Hc of batch 930335 (Fe-23Co-2V) measured parallel to the rolling direction ("longitudinal"), at 45° to the rolling direction, and perpendicular to the rolling direction ("transverse") for the specified annealing processes. Each point is the mean of five measurements. The error bars represent the standard deviation.

[0153] After annealing for 4 hours at 910°C, the mean values ​​show an anisotropic behavior. However, taking the statistical error into account, this anisotropy is not significant. This slight anisotropy, however, corresponds to the residual texture from the corresponding pole figure (middle image above of the Fig.11). After annealing for 4 hours at 1050°C and 4 hours at 1050°C + 10 hours at 910°C, almost identical mean values ​​for Hc are obtained. Annealing in the FCC region at 1050°C thus completely erases the existing texture, and the subsequent second annealing step in the BCC region at 910°C does not produce any new texture.

[0154] In the following, the magnetic properties of the alloy are compared with reference alloys using the inventive batches 930329 (Fe-17Co-1.5V-0.5Cr) and 930330 (Fe-17Co-2.0V). The reference alloys are a typical electrical steel TRAFOPERM N4 (Fe-2.5Si-Al-Mn) and three FeCo alloys: VACOFLUX 17 (Fe-17Co-2Cr-Mo-V-Si), VACOFLUX 48 (Fe-49Co-1.9V), and a HYPOCORE special melt. The HYPOCORE special melt was melted according to the composition published by Carpenter Technologies (Fe-5Co-2.3Si-1Mn-0.3Cr - data in wt.%).

[0155] Fig.Figure 14 shows new curves of the inventive batches 930329 (Fe-17Co-1.5V-0.5Cr), 930505 (Fe-17Co-1.4V-0.4Si) and 930330 (Fe-17Co-2V) after optimal annealing in comparison to a SiFe (TRAFOPERM N4) and FeCo comparison alloys.

[0156] Fig. Figure 15 shows permeability of the inventive charges 930329 (Fe-17Co-1.5V-0.5Cr), 930505 (Fe-17Co-1.4V-0.4Si) and 930330 (Fe-17Co-2V) after optimal annealing in comparison to a pSiFe (TRAFOPERM N4) and FeCo comparison alloys.

[0157] Fig. Figure 16 shows losses of the inventive heats 930329 (Fe-17Co-1.5V-0.5Cr) and 930330 (Fe-17Co-2V) after optimal annealing at an amplitude of 1.5T compared to a SiFe (TRAFOPERM N4) and FeCo reference alloy. The hysteresis losses (y-intercept) of 930329, 930330, and TRAFOPERM N4 are similar. The sheet thickness was 0.35 mm in each case.

[0158] Fig.Figure 17 shows the maximum permeability as a function of the relative density difference Δρ for Fe-17Co-based alloys (data from Table 25). It can be seen that high maximum permeabilities are obtained for alloys with a relative density difference of -0.10% to -0.35%, and particularly high maximum permeabilities for alloys with a relative density difference of -0.20% to -0.35%. This relative density difference compared to the binary Fe-17Co alloy ultimately means that the lattice constant of these alloys must be somewhat larger than that of the binary alloy. A larger lattice constant means a lower activation energy for site exchange processes due to the larger interatomic spacing in the crystal lattice, and thus better diffusion. This also contributes to grain growth and thus to a lower coercive field strength or higher permeability.

[0159] To investigate the properties of alloys on a production scale, two large melts were conducted under normal production conditions. 2.2 tons of the desired composition were melted in a vacuum induction furnace and, after adjustment and analysis of the precise composition, poured into two 340 mm diameter round molds. After solidification and cooling, the round ingots were removed from the mold and heated to 1170°C in a gas-fired rotary hearth furnace for hot rolling. The thoroughly heated ingots were then rolled on an ingot roller into slabs with a cross-section of 231 × 96 mm. 2 These slabs were then hot-rolled to remove the oxide skin on all sides to a size of 226 × 93 mm 2 sanded.

[0160] From batch 76 / 4988, both slabs obtained in this way were rolled into hot strip on a hot rolling mill. The slabs were first soaked at a temperature of 1130°C and, after sufficient soaking, then rolled into hot strip. A final thickness of 2.6 mm was selected for one strip. The final rolling temperature of this strip was 900°C, and the coiling temperature was 828°C. The final thickness of the other strip was 1.9 mm. The final rolling temperature of this strip was 871°C, and the coiling temperature was 718°C. Both hot strips were subsequently blasted to remove the oxide skin. One portion of the hot-rolled strip was intermediate annealed for 1 hour at 750°C in an H2 protective gas atmosphere. Another portion of the hot-rolled strip was intermediate annealed for 1 hour at 1050°C in an H2 protective gas atmosphere. The remaining portion of the hot-rolled strip remained without intermediate annealing. Rolling to final thickness then took place, with oxide removal from both sides of the strip at an intermediate thickness.Before hot rolling the strip, 15 mm thick sections were sawn off the slabs and then hot rolled (3.5 mm thick), pickled, and then cold rolled in the pilot plant. The results obtained are included for comparison.

[0161] From batch 76 / 5180, a 15 mm thick slice was sawn off at each end of each slab. These slices were heated to 1200°C and then hot-rolled into a 3.5 mm thick strip. The resulting hot-rolled strips were pickled to remove oxides. They were then cold-rolled to a thickness of 0.35 mm.

[0162] Stamped rings were made from all the strips obtained in this way and subjected to a final annealing treatment. Table 28 shows the results obtained for the magnetic values. The resistivity of batch 76 / 4988 is 0.306 µΩm, and that of batch 76 / 5180 is 0.318 µΩm.

[0163] As can be seen from Table 28, better magnetic properties were measured for samples from the large melt than for commercially available alloys with a Co content below 30 weight percent, such as VACOFLUX 17. A maximum permeability of over 20,000 was measured for a sample from the large melt 76 / 5180B. Thus, the alloy is suitable for the large-scale production of ribbon material with improved magnetic properties.

[0164] The alloy exhibits higher induction values ​​than VACOFLUX 17 for every field strength. For induction values ​​above the breakpoint, the new alloy lies between TRAFOPERM N4 and VACOFLUX 48. The airflow-corrected induction B at a field strength of 400 A / cm near magnetic saturation is 2.264 T for both batches (corresponding to a polarization J of 2.214 T). In the operating range of typical electric motors and generators, the torque will therefore be higher for the new alloy than for VACOFLUX 17 and TRAFOPERM N4.

[0165] Comparing 930329 and 930330, it can be seen that vanadium, in conjunction with the heat treatment described above, increases the squareness of the hysteresis loop to such an extent that, depending on the alloying, the maximum permeability is almost as high as that of VACOFLUX 48. This is astonishing and extremely surprising, since at approximately 50% Co, a zero crossing of the anisotropy constant K1 exists, which is not present at 17% Co. At 17% Co, on the contrary, the anisotropy constant K1 is very high in the Fe-Co system.

[0166] The excellent soft magnetic properties are also evident in the hysteresis losses, which are at a comparable level to those of TRAFOPERM N4. However, with increasing frequency, the losses of TRAFOPERM N4 increase less than those of the new alloy due to the higher electrical resistance of the same strip thickness. This effect can be compensated for by choosing a slightly thinner strip thickness, resulting in correspondingly lower eddy current losses.

[0167] In summary, a highly permeable soft magnetic alloy is provided that exhibits better soft magnetic properties, such as significantly higher permeability and lower hysteresis losses, while simultaneously offering higher saturation than existing and commercially available FeCo alloys. At the same time, this new alloy offers significantly lower hysteresis losses than previously known and commercially available alloys with Co contents between 10 and 30 wt.%, and, above all, a significantly higher permeability level never before achieved for such alloys. The alloy can also be produced on an industrial scale and cost-effectively.
