Impact of annealing treatment on the microstructural-dependent mechanical properties of a cold-rolled Fe–Co–10V alloy

Various contributors have been suggested so far to explain the variation of mechanical properties of Fe–Co–V magnetic alloys, but a comprehensive understanding is still lacking. In the present study, the variation of hardness, tensile yield strength (YS), and elongation at room temperature were determined for an 86% cold-rolled Fe–50Co–10V (wt.%) alloy after annealing at the temperature range of 300–1050 °C for holding times from 10 to 240 min....
