| Abstract Scope |
This study examines laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) processing of Hiperco (Fe–49Co–2V), a high-performance soft magnetic alloy valued for its excellent magnetic properties but limited by low ductility caused by ordered B2 phase formation. Conventional fabrication is hindered by poor machinability, while LPBF offers near-net-shape manufacturing with fine control over microstructure and minimal defects. The work focuses on optimizing laser parameters to achieve dense, high-quality builds and investigates how processing influences microstructure, mechanical performance, and magnetic behavior. Detailed analysis highlights the roles of phase transformations, grain refinement, texture evolution, and B2 ordering in determining coercivity, permeability, and saturation magnetization. The findings establish fundamental process–structure–property relationships, providing guidance for designing Fe–49Co–2V alloys with enhanced manufacturability, magnetic softness, and strength for next-generation electromagnetic devices and power generation components. |
