Nd-Fe alloys are important for high performance permanent magnets (usually in combination with B, C or N) and a knowledge of the metastable and stable phases of the system is necessary for the development of these new materials. An effective way to investigate such phases is by crystallizing an amorphous precursor.Amorphous ribbons of the binary alloy Nd33Fe77 were produced by melt-spinning. The phase transformations induced by heat treatment of the as-quenched ribbons is complex involving first the production of metastable phases followed by subsequent transformation into stable phases and finally eutectic melting.

Iron-silicon alloys are extensively used in transformer cores owing to exceptional soft magnetic behavior that is optimized at about 6.5 wt% Si. Unfortunately this equilibrium microstructure is completely brittle at room temperature. The brittle behavior coincides with the onset of an ordering reaction of the disordered A2 into the B2 and DO3 superlattices at approximately 5 wt% Si. Rapid solidification methods have been shown to improve the ductility of Fe- 6.3 to 6.5 wt% Si. In this investigation, rapidly quenched and annealed samples of Fe-6.3wt% Si were examined in the transmission electron microscope (TEM) to study the ordering phase transformations of this alloy and its effect on the mechanical behavior.Samples of Fe-6.3wt% Si were rapidly solidified by melt spinning into ribbons (t=20-80 microns) as well as by splatting using an opposing piston double anvil method. Rapidly quenched samples were subsequently heat treated in evacuated quartz tubes at 500, 600, and 700 C for 24 h.
