Abstract: Provided is a Fe-based soft magnetic alloy. A Fe-based soft magnetic alloy according to an embodiment of the present invention is expressed by the empirical formula FeaBbCcCudNbe, wherein a, b, c, d, and e represent atomic percents (at %) of corresponding elements and satisfy 78.0?a?84.5 and 15.5?b+c+d+e?22.0. Hence, the Fe-based soft magnetic alloy has a high saturated magnetic flux density and high permeability characteristics and thus can be utilized for small and lightweight components, and has low coercive force and low magnetic loss characteristics and thus very easily finds applications in high-performance/high-efficiency components. Furthermore, the Fe-based soft magnetic alloy can minimize the effect of heat treatment conditions in the implementation of uniform grains with a small particle diameter after heat treatment, thereby greatly facilitating the design of process conditions, and thus is very suitable in mass production.

Abstract: An Fe-based soft magnetic alloy is provided. The Fe-based soft magnetic alloy can be represented by empirical formula FeaBbCcCud, and in the empirical formula, a, b, c and d are atomic percent (at %) of the corresponding element and are respectively 78.5?a?86, 13.5?b+c?21 and 0.5?d?1.5. The alloy has a high saturated magnetic flux density, excellent high frequency characteristics and low coercivity, and thus greatly facilitates the development of use as high performance/high efficiency small/lightweight parts. Since manufacturing costs are very low and the components contained in an alloy are easily controlled in an alloy manufacturing process, thereby enabling mass production of the alloy, the present invention can be widely applied as magnetic parts of electric and electronic devices such as a high power laser, a high frequency power supply, a high-speed pulse generator, an SMPS, a high-pass filter, a low-loss high frequency transformer, a fast switch and wireless charging.
