Iron-based magnetic alloys have been created with good soft magnetic properties, without resorting to exotic alloying elements, according to a team of scientists from Russia, China Japan and the US. “In terms of their properties, the amorphous iron-based alloys obtained by us surpass common industrial analogues. Their undoubted advantages are: relatively low cost due to the lack of expensive alloying ...
