<abstract>
<p>Fe-based amorphous alloy has excellent soft magnetic properties; traditionally, Fe-based amorphous alloy such as soft magnetic devices was fabricated by insulation enveloping and suppression molding methods. In this process, the aging of organic envelope materials and the crystallization of Fe-based amorphous alloy were usually occurring, accompanying with low magnetic induction and poor mechanical properties. The direct ink writing (DIW) technique can make complex-shaped parts and needs no heating treatment after forming, which can avoid the effect of traditional molding process. In the present study, varying mass fraction FeSiB/EP composite parts were prepared by the DIW technique with the Fe-based amorphous alloy powder and epoxy resin, in which microscopic morphology, magnetic properties, and mechanical properties of FeSiB/EP soft magnetic composites were studied. The results indicate that the slurry with iron powder mass fraction of 92.3, 92.6, and 92.8&#xa0;wt% has good printing performance and self-support ability, which is suitable for DIW. The density of the printed parts is about 4.317, 4.449, and 4.537&#xa0;g/cm<sup>3</sup>, which is almost similar with the iron powder. The tensile strength and elongation of printing parts are significantly improved compared with the pure epoxy resin. From the photos of microscopic morphology of printing parts, it can be seen that FeSiB powders are evenly dispersed in EP, no pores, and defects, with the proportion increasing of powders; the insulation coating thickness decreases; and the magnetic performance improves. The optimal sample is 92.8&#xa0;wt% FeSiB/EP, in which saturation magnetic induction strength is 137.9759&#xa0;emu/g and coercivity is 4.6523&#xa0;A/m.</p>

<title>1 Introduction</title>
<p>Soft magnetic composites (SMCs) were composed of ferromagnetic phase and insulation coating; the ferromagnetic phase was embedded in an insulating matrix (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">Shokrollahi and Janghorban</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">2007</xref>). The resulted materials present a unique set of properties such as low eddy current losses at medium to high frequencies, high saturation induction, relatively high magnetic permeability, low coercivity, and isotropy of physical properties (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">Shokrollahi and Janghorban</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">2007</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">Sunday and Taheri, 2017</xref>). With the demand of high-frequency motor, 5G communication, etc., it becomes a noticeable topic to develop SMCs combined with high saturated magnetization value (Ms), low coercivity (Hc), low core loss, and low materials cost. The traditional SMCs could not meet the above requirements anymore. However, Fe-based amorphous alloy showed excellent soft magnetic properties, there was no magnetic anisotropy caused by crystal structure, and its curie point was much lower than crystal soft magnetic material; therefore, it could greatly reduce eddy currents and diminish their total energy losses (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">Wang et&#x20;al., 2016</xref>). As it is well known, limited by the ability of amorphous formation, Fe-based amorphous alloy was usually in powder form, so the powder metallurgy method was used to make soft magnetic device, but the possible crystallization in post-processing was an inevitable defect of this processing method (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">Luo et&#x20;al., 2021</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">Vijayakumar et&#x20;al., 2021</xref>).</p>
<p>Three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies were attempted to be applied; laser solid forming, selective laser melting, and laser rapid prototyping were used mostly (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">Yang et&#x20;al., 2012</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">Pauly et&#x20;al., 2013</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">Sahasrabudhe et&#x20;al., 2013</xref>). During this process, the forming of heat-affected zone was also a defect of possible crystallization (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">Lin et&#x20;al., 2019</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">Wu et&#x20;al., 2019</xref>). Another attractive 3D processing was the direct ink writing (DIW), the most obvious feature of this technology was that it was printed on the basis of extruded concentrated slurry (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">Truby and Lewis, 2016</xref>), so long as the material that could be adjusted into slurry could be formed in DIW, such as polymer slurry (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B24">Zhang et&#x20;al., 2021a</xref>), metal slurry, and cell slurry (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">Yuk and Zhao, 2018</xref>). It had also been studied to process magnetic materials, Fe-based metallic glass slurries were printed with DIW in the work Wu et&#x20;al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">Wu et&#x20;al., 2018</xref>), and alkaline environment was not conducive to the wetting and stable dispersion. Amir et&#x20;al. evaluated DIW as a technique for creating parts using nickel-based superalloy 625, which maintain high fatigue resistance (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">Mostafaei et&#x20;al., 2018</xref>). Hong et&#x20;al. systematically studied and modified the Fe-Mn alloy composition to achieve the enhanced degradation rates by using the DIW technique (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">Hong et&#x20;al., 2016</xref>).</p>
<p>There were eddy current loss and iron consumption that display in Fe-based amorphous alloy and other Ferromagnetic material (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">Li et&#x20;al., 2019</xref>). In the past work, the insulation coatings were used to reduce eddy losses and improve magnetism, such as SiO<sub>2</sub> (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">Zhou et&#x20;al., 2020</xref>), phosphate-polyimide insulating layer (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">Chen et&#x20;al., 2020</xref>), and magnesium alloy (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">Zhang et&#x20;al., 2021b</xref>). In the recent years, a SiO<sub>2</sub> ceramic material had been used as an insulation coating in the preparation of SMCs due to its excellent chemical inertness, excellent heat resistance, and high resistivity. However, the high effective permeability (<italic>&#x3bc;</italic>
<sub>e</sub>) of the FeSiBCC@SiO<sub>2</sub> decreased monotonically with increasing thickness of the SiO<sub>2</sub> coating (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">Zhou et&#x20;al., 2020</xref>). Chen et&#x20;al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">Chen et&#x20;al., 2020</xref>) demonstrated that, when iron-based SMCs were coated with phosphate-polyimide (0.1 wt% phosphoric acid and 1.5&#xa0;wt% polyimide), the corrosion resistance of the sample was significantly improved. However, the core loss of the SMCs was 186.6&#xa0;mW/g, and their soft magnetic performance was deteriorated. Fe/Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>/silicon resin SMCs had a high saturated magnetization value (201&#xa0;Am<sup>2</sup> kg<sup>&#x2212;1</sup>) and relatively high coercivity (11.4&#xa0;Oe) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">Meng et&#x20;al., 2020</xref>). Another type of insulating coating short Fe fibers was added to the polymer to insulate and hinder the eddy currents. Nevertheless, the electrical resistivity had large core losses, especially at a higher frequency (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">Neam&#x163;u et&#x20;al., 2020</xref>). Ren et&#x20;al. fabricated the (Fe@Fe<sub>x</sub>O<sub>y</sub>)/epoxy resin (ER) composites and acquired the high-performance electromagnetic insulating materials, but the ER coating was decomposed when the heat treatment temperature was too high or the time was too long (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">Ren et&#x20;al., 2015</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">Wang et&#x20;al., 2021</xref>). ER is an organic insulation material; room temperature is viscous liquid, mixed with iron-based amorphous powder very suitable for direct writing at room temperature molding.</p>
<p>In the current study, FeSiB/EP composite parts were successfully fabricated by DIW. The rheological behavior of FeSiB/EP slurry was deeply investigated. The microstructural evolution of the FeSiB/EP composites and the density of FeSiB/EP composites were also explored. Besides, the effects of magnetic performance and mechanical properties of FeSiB/EP composites were also studied. Our results show that the coercivity of FeSiB/EP composites was decreased, and eddy currents were also diminished. Meanwhile, the composites remain mechanical and saturation magnetic induction strength good enough as&#x20;well.</p>

<title>3.1 Rheological Behavior Measurement</title>
<p>The rheological behaviors of FeSiB/epoxy composite slurry with different ratios are shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure&#x20;1</xref>. G&#x2032; is the energy storage modulus, represents the elasticity of the slurry; G&#x2033; is the loss modulus, represents the viscosity of the slurry. As could be seen in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figures 1A&#x2013;C</xref>, G&#x2032; was always lower than G&#x2033;, and the slurry showed the fluid properties (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">Liu et&#x20;al., 2020</xref>). These kinds of slurry flow readily through nozzle under modest applied pressure and then immediately wetted and spread upon when exiting the nozzle, so the ability to support themselves was lacking. From <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figures 1D&#x2013;F</xref>, when the shear stress was low, G&#x2032; and G&#x2033; curves of the slurry fluctuated slightly, G&#x2032; was always higher than G&#x2033;, and the slurry showed solid properties. As the shear stress increased, the two curves intersected, the intersection was yield stress point of the slurry, and the yield stress increased with the growing of iron powder content. When the shear stress was greater than yield stress, the slurry showed the nature of liquid and indicated that the slurry was viscoelastic fluid with good printing and self-supporting performance. Comparing the viscosity of each mass ratio in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure&#x20;1G</xref>, the viscosity of the slurry increased with Fe powder contents and decreased with shear rate and showed strong shear thinning behavior, which proved that the slurry had good printing performance (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">Guo, 2020</xref>).</p>

<title>3.2 Density Test</title>
<p>The different densities of 3D printing samples and their photos are shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Figure&#x20;2</xref>. Density was an important factor affecting the magnetic performance. According to the test results, as the proportion of FeSiB powder contents was increased, the density of the sample increased too and was very closing to the powder density. From the photos, we could see that the surfaces were very smooth, and the printing tracks were clearer with the proportion of iron powder increasing. That means that the high proportion slurry had high printing accuracy.</p>

<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Figures 3A&#x2013;C</xref> present the representative SEM images of the cross sections of 3D printing sample with different filler contents. The dark area was epoxy adhesive, and the bright area was the FeSiB particles. It is clear that there were not any obvious reunion phenomenon and uniform distribution of FeSiB powder. Pull phenomenon was also common in the section part of the sample, which was caused by the uneven distribution of the excess adhesive on the particle surface. As the proportion of the adhesive content decreased, the compatibility between the print layers was better, and there was no obvious separation interface, which provided a guarantee for the magnetic and mechanical property. With the proportion of FeSiB powder increased, the thickness of adhesive coating decreased, which was conducive to the improvement of magnetic performance. During printing, the slurry self-flows before curing, which could fill the gaps between the layers, giving the sample higher cohesiveness, and the toughness nest found indicated a certain bond strength in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Figure&#x20;3C</xref>.</p>

The three composite samples presented lower coercivity value of 4.2994&#xa0;Oe for 92.3&#xa0;wt% FeSiB/EP, 4.6523&#xa0;Oe for 92.6&#xa0;wt% FeSiB/EP, and 4.4105&#xa0;Oe for 92.8&#xa0;wt% FeSiB/EP, which might be ascribed to the uniform and completed resin coating of FeSiB particles; a small amount of ER decreased the coercivity of FeSiB/EP composite. From <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Figure&#x20;4</xref>, the three composite samples also demonstrated a relatively high saturated magnetization value of 127.98&#xa0;emu/g for 92.3&#xa0;wt% FeSiB/EP, 137.01&#xa0;emu/g for 92.6&#xa0;wt% FeSiB/EP, and 132.98&#xa0;emu/g for 92.8&#xa0;wt% FeSiB/EP. Their remanence of the samples was all very low. The saturated magnetization value of the composition was lower than that of FeSiB particles, because of the insulation of epoxy. From <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Figure&#x20;4</xref>, it could be seen that 92.6&#xa0;wt% FeSiB/EP was the best comprehensive magnetic properties composite formula; as for the higher powder content, the amount of resin is reduced, the mixing uniformity with powder becomes difficulty, and it is easy to form holes locally and accumulate locally in other&#x20;areas.</p>

<title>3.5 Mechanical Properties</title>
<p>As shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">Figure&#x20;5</xref>, the tensile strength of pure epoxy by compression molding with 60&#xb0;C was 26.59&#xb0;MPa, and the break elongation was 65.19%. All were higher than splines containing different proportions of FeSiB. As the FeSiB mass ratio increased, the tensile strength and the break elongation reduced. Among them, the 92.3 wt% FeSiB/EP tensile strength was 21.39&#xb0;MPa, closed proximity to pure epoxy, but its break elongation was 34.02%, fall by half compared with pure epoxy. This might be because the epoxy continuous phase was disrupted by FeSiB particles. However, the elastic modulus was up to 461.47&#xa0;MPa for 92.6 wt% FeSiB/EP. The pure epoxy elastic modulus was 314.95&#xa0;MPa. This showed that the stiffness significantly increased with the content of magnetic powder. While the content of magnetic powder continued to increase, the elastic modulus of the sample was reduced sharply. Hence, the tensile strength and the break elongation of the sample decreased with the FeSiB powder ratio, but the elastic modulus prominent increased.</p>

<title>4 Conclusion</title>
<p>Different mass ratios of 3D printing slurry were configured with iron-based amorphous alloy powder and ER. The rheological behavior of the slurry was measured by rheometer; it can be investigated that the slurry showed performance of liquid in lower shear stress and proved that the slurry had good printing performance and self-supporting performance, and when the shear stress was greater than its yield stress, the slurry showed the nature of solid. From the SEM imagines of the printing samples, we could see that the sample had a uniform microstructure and high density, and iron particles were evenly dispersed in the binder.</p>
<p>The coercivity of the three samples with different mass ratios was lower than that of the iron-based amorphous alloy powder, which showed that the introduction of ER was beneficial to reduce the coercivity, reduce the vortex loss, and improve the magnetic performance of FeSiB/EP composite materials. From the mechanics performance test, it can be seen that, as the proportion of adhesive was reduced, the stretch performance of the sample was decreasing, and the elastic modulus increased first and then decreased. Within all the samples, the iron powder of 92.6 wt% FeSiB/EP was demonstrated to be the optimum.</p>
