Abstract
FeNi powders were synthesized by reductive reaction of iron nickel chloride below 320℃. Calcium hydride (CaH2)was used as a reductant. The coercivity of synthesized powders depends on the amount of CaH2, and the largest coercivity of 54 kA/m was obtained. The (001) diffraction line due to the L10 superstructure was observed by anomalous synchrotron X-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation, indicating the formation of L10-FeNi.
