Provided is a method for manufacturing a Mn-Co(Ni)-Ge-based
alloy ribbon through
electric arc melting and quick
melt quenching. The method comprises the steps that (1), dosing is carried out, wherein the
mass of needed
metal elements such as Mn, Co(Ni), and Ge is calculated according to the stoichiometric ratio and then dosing is carried out; (2),
electric arc melting is carried out, wherein well prepared raw materials are put into a water-cooled
copper crucible electric arc furnace, the vacuum is pumped to below 3-10Pa, the furnace is filled with
argon, then electric
arc melting is carried out, and the process is carried out 3-4 times; (3), rapid
melt quenching is carried out, wherein a Mn-Co(Ni)-Ge-based
alloy cast
ingot is installed into a
quartz tube of the inner
diameter being 10mm and then is placed into a rapid
quenching furnace chamber, the vacuum inside the furnace chamber is pumped to be 4-10Pa, then
argon is introduced, the cast
ingot is melted to be in a
liquid state in a high-frequency
induction heating mode, then the liquid is sprayed to a
copper roller through small holes in the bottom of the
quartz tube, the
copper roller rotates at a high speed, and then a rapidly quenched ribbon is obtained; (4), homogenizing treatment is carried out, wherein a ribbon sample is sealed in the
quartz tube, annealing
thermal treatment is carried out inside a high temperature furnace, and then the ribbon sample is placed into cold water and is quenched. The manufacturing method is simple and convenient to implement. By means of the method, the annealing
processing time is greatly shortened or even avoided, the manufacturing cost is lowered, and the consumption of energy sources is reduced.
