Examples and comparative examples
By Fe 73.5 Si 15.5 B 7 Cu 1 Nb 3 The amorphous alloy is used for preparing a nanocrystalline magnetic core, and the specific steps are as follows:

As is clear from Table 1, the magnetic core prepared by the tensile stress-magnetic field composite annealing has low initial permeability and low coercive force, and the permeability attenuation rate in the frequency range of 10kHz-1MHz is not more than 10%, and the magnetic performance is excellent.
FIG. 2 shows the coercivity H of a magnetic core c (A/m) a trend curve of the magnitude of tensile stress sigma (MPa) applied during annealing. As can be seen from fig. 2, the precipitation and growth of the nanocrystals are less at the annealing temperature of 480 ℃, and the adjustment effect of the tensile stress on the nanocrystals is very small. At this time, the coercive force of the magnetic core is maintained at about 7.5A/m, and the whole process can be regarded as stress relief annealing. The annealing temperature is increased to 490 ℃, enough energy is obtained for the nanocrystalline to start growing, and the adjusting effect of tensile stress on the coercive force of the magnetic core can be obviously seen. The adjusting effect reaches the best comprehensive performance at 490 ℃ and 29MPa, at this time H c =2.67A/m. However, when the annealing temperature was further increased to 500 ℃, since a fine nanocrystalline structure was already formed inside the material when no tensile stress was applied, the tensile stress applied caused the nanocrystalline size to rapidly grow, but rather caused deterioration of magnetic properties, and thus, comparative example 8 had both an increased magnetic core coercive force and an initial permeability, and magnetic properties were lowered, as compared with example 2.
Further, as can be seen from fig. 2 and table 1, when the tensile stress is too large, the grain size inside the material is rapidly increased, the magnetocrystalline anisotropy is increased, and the soft magnetic properties are deteriorated, and thus the coercive force of comparative examples 6 and 7 is increased as compared with comparative examples 5 and 1 to 4.
FIG. 3 shows a microstructure (left) and a grain size distribution (right) of a nanocrystalline core obtained at an annealing temperature of 490℃and a tensile stress of 29 MPa. It can be seen that the α -Fe nanocrystals were uniformly distributed in the amorphous matrix, and the selected area electron diffraction pattern showed three diffraction rings of standard (110) (200) (211), with an average grain size of 13.02 μm.
To sum up, fe 73.5 Si 15.5 B 7 Cu 1 Nb 3 Conditions for the core to obtain low coercivity and low constant permeability: at T x1 Annealing at + -8deg.C for 270s while applying a certain tensile stress and magnetic field. The magnetic core has low processing cost and short annealing time, and simultaneously has coercivity as low as 2.6A/m and adjustable relative constant permeability (10 kHz-1 MHz) between 800 and 1000.
The foregoing is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and it should be noted that modifications and adaptations to those skilled in the art may be made without departing from the principles of the present invention, which are intended to be comprehended within the scope of the present invention.
