Fig. 5.. Enthalpy of crystallization describing the amorphous fraction as a function of particle diameter. (a) {(Fe_0.6Co_0.4)_0.75B_0.2Si_0.05}₉₆Nb₄ and (b) Fe₇₆B₁₀Si₉P₅ soft ferromagnetic glass-forming alloys were considered for gas atomization with conventional cooling and the different cooling strategies. The {(Fe_0.6Co_0.4)_0.75B_0.2Si_0.05}₉₆Nb₄ alloy was additionally quenched in poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The horizontal error bars represent the d_16,3 and d_84,3 percentiles measured by particle laser diffraction. Measurements on melt spinning (MS) samples were also plotted for comparison. The dashed line refers to the average enthalpy of crystallization and the upper and lower edges of the orange area defines the upper and lower standard deviation. The abbreviations GA, GA + SCC, and GA + LQ stand for conventional gas atomization, conventional gas atomization and spray cone cooling, and conventional gas atomization and liquid quenching, respectively (see Fig. 1).
