<p>Magnetic alloys are disclosed having an anisotropic magnetic structure produced by thermomechanical treatment in the absence of a magnetic field. Disclosed treatment calls for developing magnetic particles in an alloy by cooling such alloy in a controlled fashion from a first temperature at which the alloy is in a predominantly single phase state to a second temperature at which the alloy is in a multi-phase state. Treatment further calls for deforming the alloy, resulting in cross-sectional area reduction of at least 30 percent (corresponding to elongation of magnetic particles by a factor of at least 1.7). Disclosed treatment leads to desirable magnetic properties, e.g., in Cu-Ni-Fe, Cu-Ni-Co, Fe-Al-Ni, Fe-Al-Ni-Co, and Fe-Cr-Co alloys. For example, in the case of Fe-Cr-Co, alloy properties such as remanence-to-saturation squareness ratio in excess of 0.90 and maximum energy product in the range of 0.6-8.0 MGOe are achieved. Disclosed magnetic alloys are suitable for use in the manufacture of telephone ringers, relays, and electromagnetic transducers.</p> |
