High-temperature properties of Fe-Pt film-magnets prepared by electroplating method
Abstract
We prepared L10 ordered Fe50Pt50 thick-films on Cu substrates using the electroplating method and evaluated their high-temperature properties in the temperature range of 25-200°C. The Hc and the (BH)max at 150°C for the Fe50Pt50 films annealed by ordinary annealing method (700°C, 60 min) were 500 kA/m and 50 kJ/m3, respectively, and the thermal coefficient of Hc was -0.3%/°C. To improve the high-temperature properties, we employed a flash annealing method using an infrared furnace (8 kW). The flash annealing method improved the high-temperature properties (Hc = 700 kA/m, (BH)max = 70 kJ/m3 at 150°C) and the thermal coefficient (-0.21%/°C). The thermal stability of the films is comparable to those for Sm-Co-system magnets and better than for Nd-Fe-B-system ones. We, therefore, found the L10 ordered Fe50Pt50 films prepared by the electroplating and the flash annealing are one of the hopeful small magnets in the wide temperature range.
