Abstract:
PALLADIUM ALLOYS Ferromagnetic alloys containing palladium suitable for use in magnetic devices and having improved resistance to corrosion contain from about 20 to 65 atomic percent palladium, up to 80 atomic percent iron and 0 to 55 atomic percent nickel. Magnetic films made of these alloys which contain 20 to 65 atomic percent palladium exhibit a magnetization, 4.pi.M, and a corrosion resistance equal to or better than Permalloy.
Abstract:
Ni-Fe-Rd ALLOYS Permalloy type alloys containing rhodium suitable for use in magnetic devices and having improved resistance to corrosion contain from about 65 to 90 atomic percent nickel, 10 to 35 atomic percent iron and 1 to 25 atomic percent rhodium. Magnetic films made of these alloys which contain 1 to 10 atomic percent rhodium exhibit magnetic properties similar to Permalloy while having increased resistance to corrosion.
Abstract:
Compositions having the general formula R2TX are disclosed where R is taken from the group consisting of Rh and Ru; where T is taken from the group consisting of Fe, Co, Ni, V, Cr and Cu; and where X is taken from the group consisting of Al, Ga, In, Tl, Ge, Sn and Sb. Compositions wherein T is taken from the group consisting of Fe, Ni and Co and where X is taken from the group consisting of Ge and Sn are particularly useful as ferromagnetic materials. Examples of such compositions are Rh2FeGe and Ru2FeSn.
