- (1)
- The mass ratio of Fe–based metallic microwires and the thickness of the sample both have a certain impact on the electromagnetic parameters and impedance matching characteristics of the composite material. Based on the analysis results of the orthogonal experiment, the composite material exhibits a better absorption performance with the mass of the FeSiBNi2 metallic microwires of 40 wt.% and the sample thickness of 2 mm; the maximum reflection loss RL and electromagnetic wave absorption efficiency Aeff reach −54.89 dB and 99.999%, respectively, at the frequency f = 8.36 GHz. Simultaneously, there are two effective absorption peaks, corresponding to the frequency ranges of 7.49–8.86 GHz and 15.01–15.45 GHz, respectively; that is, the totally effective absorption bandwidth EAB (<−10 dB) is 1.81 GHz (both 7.49–8.86 GHz and 15.01–15.45 GHz).

- Ni doping changes the chemical composition and structure of Fe–based metallic microwires; the interaction between atoms is enhanced, and the change in magnetic anisotropy leads to the change in magnetic loss, which in turn, has a great influence on the wave-absorbing properties of the composite materials. Among these, when the sample thickness is 2 mm and the microwires mass ratio is 40 wt.%, the FeSiBNi2 metallic wire/paraffin-based composite exhibits better absorbing performance. In the meantime, Ni doping can effectively control the position of the maximum absorption peak, and with the increase in the Ni doping amount, the position of the absorption peak shifts to a lower frequency.

- The types of electrical loss in the Fe–based metallic microwires mainly include resonance loss, dipole polarization, interface polarization, and conductance loss, while the types of magnetic loss include natural resonance and exchange resonance, respectively. Under the combined action of electrical loss and magnetic loss, Fe–based metallic microwires show strong attenuation to electromagnetic waves, exhibiting their potential as excellent wave absorbing agents.
