Sumario: | Invar Fe–Ni alloy is a prominent Ni steel alloy with a low coefficient of thermal expansion around room temperature. We investigate the correlation between magnetic properties and thermal expansion in cold-drawn Fe–36Ni wires with different heat treatment conditions, where the annealing parameters with furnace cooling (cooling from the annealing temperature of 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, and 1000 °C) are used. The variation trend of magnetic properties is consistent with that of thermal expansion for all samples, where the maximum appears at 600 °C -treated sample and 400 °C shows the minimum. The domain size and the area of domain walls determine the total energy of the domain wall, and the total energy directly determines the size of magnetostriction, which is closely related to the coefficient of thermal expansion. Also, the differential thermal analysis (DTA) shows endothermic and exothermic reactions represent crystalline transitions, which could possibly cause the abrupt change of magnetic properties and thermal expansion coefficient of materials. The results indicate that there is a certain relation between thermal expansion and magnetic properties. Besides the fundamental significance, our work provides an Invar alloy with a low coefficient of thermal expansion for practical use. |
