Abstract:
The saturation magnetization strength (Ms) of magnetic media is a core parameter for mineral separation. However, imprecise cross-scale links between magnetic mechanisms and responses, along with limited detection of internal magnetization and composition, which poses an urgent need for the optimization of the properties of such materials. This study used first principles calculations and micromagnetic simulation methods to analyze enthalpies of formation, lattice constants, Ms, electronic density of states, and dynamic magnetic domain wall properties (Tdw, BPw, VAVdw) of FeCo based soft magnetic alloys. The results show that as the Co content increases, the enthalpy of formation increases. When the Co content is less than 30%, the alloy has a stable system. The antiferromagnetism of Cr suppresses the average magnetic moments, and cancels out the ferromagnetic magnetic moments of Fe and Co. It is shown that Co atoms directly replace larger atoms, resulting in a solid solution strengthening effect, thus increasing the strength and hardness of the material. Based on these computational parameters, this micromagnetic simulation reveals the sequential transformation of magnetic domain structure from single-vortex core state to multiple-vortex core state during the forward and reverse magnetization of FeCo based soft magnetic alloy in the Axial and radial at low Co content, and shows that the axial is easier to be magnetized than the radial, and it has high coercivity and high remanent magnetization. The results of these simulations were be validated using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). To guide the design of FeCo based soft magnetic alloys with high Ms and toughness for efficient recovery of weakly magnetic minerals in high-gradient magnetic separators. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd
