Influence of different proportions of tin on the properties of an amorphous Fe(Co)-Sn-B system.

Tin Mössbauer spectrometry was employed to examine metallic glasses, specifically Fe81B12Sn7 and Fe83B12Sn5 fabricated using the planar-flow casting technique into an amorphous substance. The investigation encompassed the asquenched state and also samples in which 25 % of iron was replaced by cobalt. This study explores the impact of slight variations in tin and iron content on the resultant microstructure. Tin Mössbauer spectrometry is a method that is not used that often, especially on alloys already containing iron., However, it can tell us more about the commonality of tin magnetization and about the extension of the magnetization of boron in this alloy. The findings reveal an interesting interaction between Co and Sn that causes a much larger increase in hyperfine magnetic field at 119Sn resonant nuclei. Increasing the proportion of tin in comparison to iron in the alloy causes a reduction of the hyperfine magnetic fields at both Fe and Sn probe atoms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
