Comparative Study of the Magnetic Behavior of FINEMET Thin Magnetic Wires: Glass-Coated, Glass-Removed, and Cold-Drawn

In this paper, a comparative investigation of the magnetic behavior and its stress dependence in the case of FINEMET glass-coated, glass-removed, and cold-drawn microwires at low and high frequencies, respectively, is presented. The experimental results show major differences between their magnetic properties depending on the preparation method and microwire diameter. The evolution of the magnetic permeability, coercivity, and magnetoimpedance responses with the applied tensile force was investigated and analyzed in correlation with the stresses induced during preparation, their relief following annealing, and the annealing-induced structural transformations. The coercivity dependence on applied force was found to show the highest sensitivity in the glass-removed microwires, while the magnetic permeability and magnetoimpedance sensitivity to force were found to be higher in the cold-drawn samples. The results of this comparative study will enable an enhanced material selection process for various applications in miniaturized magnetic and stress sensors with increased sensitivity.
