Micron-sized composition-controlled Fe100−lic ">x Co x (20 < x < 75) alloy particles with high purity have been prepared by an optimized reduction reaction. The influence of Co content on the alloying process, structures, and magnetic properties of the products has been studied. The as-synthesized Fe100 −lic ">x Co x with x < 65 exhibit a single bcc crystal structure. A bcc-FeCo/fcc-Co composite structure can be formed in the Fe100−lic ">x Co x products with x > 65. Very slight surface oxidation is observed in all the products. The high purity and single bcc-FeCo phase for the well-alloyed Fe100 −lic ">x Co x particles with x < 65 lead to their high saturation magnetization of 182–220 A m2 kg−1. All the well-alloyed Fe100 −lic ">x Co x show nearly spherical morphologies with an average particle size of 2–8 μm, which results in their good compactibility with a high compacted density of about 7.4–7.6 g cm−3. The simple preparation and improved performances for these chemically synthesized composition-controlled FeCo particles show their great potential for applications in near-net-shaped and complex-shaped FeCo-based soft magnetic composite devices.
