AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing soft magnetic powders are difficult to stably achieve excellent soft magnetic properties at high frequencies, and are prone to saturation at high currents, making it difficult to balance low coercivity and high saturation magnetic flux density.

Method used

The particles are composed of FexCuaNbb(Si1-yBy)100-xab, which contain Fe-Si crystals with a particle size of 1.0 nm or more and 30.0 nm or less, and Cu segregation with a particle size of 2.0 nm or more and 16.0 nm or less. The Cu segregation accounts for more than 80% of the particles, and the Nb and B concentrations at the grain boundaries are higher than those at the grains. Heat treatment promotes the formation of uniform grains.

Benefits of technology

It achieves low coercivity and high saturation flux density, reduces iron loss, adapts to high frequency and high current, and supports the miniaturization and high output of powder-pressed magnetic cores.
