The results of X-ray diffraction measurements, scanning electron microscopy observations and hardness and magnetic properties investigations are presented. The studies show that cast (FeNiCo)100-x(AlSi)x alloys reveal dendritic morphology and their phase composition depends on (Al + Si) content. For x ≤ 10 a face-centered cubic phase is observed, while the increase of Al and Si content results in a body-centered cubic phase formation. It leads to a fivefold increase of hardness from 88 HV to 526 HV. The investigated alloys have high magnetic induction reaching 170 emu/g, while their coercivity value is even up to 2.9 kA/m for x = 15, and strongly depends on chemical and phase composition.}, type={Article}, title={Influence of Aluminium and Silicon Content on the Phase Composition, Microstructure and Magnetic and Mechanical Properties of Multicomponent FeNiCoAlSi Alloys}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/127416/PDF/AMM-2023-2-43-Kurowski.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2023.142459}, keywords={multicomponent FeNiCoAlSi alloys, phase composition, microstructure, hardness, magnetic properties}, }
