Abstract

Dispersion strengthening of the most wear-resistant soft magnetic alloy Sendust (Fe-9.5 wt.%Si -5.5 wt.% Al, HV=5000 MPa) by carbide and boride phases allowed to increase its wear-resistance by a factor of 2 to 3. Hardness of the dispersion strengthened alloys is HV=5500–6250 MPa. The changes in grain size, ordering and hardness of the Sendust and two dispersion strengthened alloys have been studied after spinning and various regimes of laser melting. Both types of rapid solidification caused a significant decrease of both the solid solution grain size and the size of carbide and boride phases. While spinning only significantly decreased the amount of ordered Fe3(Si,Al) phase in all the alloys, laser melting completely suppressed the ordering. The hardness of the boride strengthened alloy increased up to 7550 MPa after laser melting.
