ULTRA-LOW COBALT IRON-COBALT MAGNETIC ALLOYS

Abstract:

A magnetic iron alloy and process of making the same. The alloy includes iron, approximately 2 wt. % to approximately 8 wt. % cobalt, approximately 0.05 wt. % to approximately 5 wt. % manganese, and approximately 0.05 wt. % to approximately 5 wt. % silicon. The alloy may also include up to approximately 0.3 wt. % chromium, up to approximately 2 wt. % vanadium, up to approximately 1 wt. % nickel, up to approximately 0.05 wt. % niobium, and up to approximately 0.02 wt. % carbon.
