Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of alloy soft magnetic powder core technology, specifically to a method for preparing FeSiBCuNb amorphous nanocrystalline magnetic powder core. Background Technology
[0002] Metal magnetic powder cores, as a novel type of magnetic composite material, are mainly composed of metallic magnetic powder, an insulating coating layer, and internally distributed air gaps. They possess advantages such as high saturation magnetization, low ferromagnetic loss, and strong anti-saturation capability. These outstanding advantages have attracted the attention of the power electronics industry and are widely used in power electronic equipment such as DC-DC converters and high-frequency switching power supplies. Compared with the metallic magnetic powders used in traditional metal magnetic powder cores, such as carbonyl Fe, FeSi, and FeSiAl, FeSiBCuNb amorphous nanocrystalline magnetic powder has an amorphous nanocrystalline dual-phase structure, exhibiting high resistivity and low loss characteristics, and is considered one of the ideal materials for high-frequency applications.
[0003] The preparation process of metal magnetic powder cores mainly includes raw material mixing, surface passivation, resin coating, compression molding, and heat treatment. Insulation treatment of the magnetic powder is crucial. Although amorphous powders themselves have high resistivity, surface passivation and coating remain the most effective ways to reduce high-frequency eddy current losses in magnetic powder cores. Common insulation coating methods mainly include organic and inorganic coatings. While organic coatings have good adhesion and flexibility, most resins (epoxy resin, phenolic resin, etc.) have poor high-temperature resistance, resulting in insufficient release of internal stress introduced by compression molding. Therefore, increasing attention is being paid to inorganic coatings. The most common inorganic coating involves the reaction of phosphoric acid with Fe in the powder to form a phosphate insulating layer, which has good insulation properties. However, it has been reported that phosphate insulating layers decompose during heat treatment (>500℃), thus reducing their insulation effectiveness. Another inorganic coating method involves preparing inorganic oxide coatings such as SiO2, Al2O3, and MgO through sol-gel methods and chemical co-precipitation. However, the bonding effect between the oxide coating and the magnetic powder surface is poor, and cracking is common during pressing. Therefore, when coating with inorganic oxide coatings, coupling agents (such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, PVP, etc.) are often used to modify the powder surface to improve the bonding effect.
[0004] This invention proposes a method for preparing FeSiBCuNb amorphous nanocrystalline magnetic powder cores. The method uses a nitric acid-hydrogen peroxide solution to perform surface hydroxylation treatment on the magnetic powder, which effectively cleans the surface, slightly etches the metal surface to increase surface roughness, and simultaneously creates an oxide surface rich in hydroxyl groups. This provides excellent adhesion sites for SiO2 generated by subsequent hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate, effectively improving the bonding effect and replacing silane coupling agents. Furthermore, a segmented crystallization technique is employed to control the nanocrystal size, allowing SiO2 to uniformly coat the surface of the FeSiBCuNb spherical amorphous powder, forming an insulating layer. This increases the resistivity of the magnetic powder core and effectively reduces the magnetic loss of the FeSiBCuNb amorphous nanocrystals, meeting the high-frequency integration requirements in fields such as power inductors, energy storage devices, and electromagnetic shielding. Summary of the Invention

[0026] Furthermore, in step 1, the FeSiBCuNb amorphous nanocrystal composition is Fe. 81.4 Si 1.0 B 5.8 Cu 2.6 Nb 9.5 ;
[0027] The nitric acid-hydrogen peroxide solution is prepared by mixing 5-10 wt% nitric acid (65-68% concentration) and 1-5 wt% hydrogen peroxide, based on the mass of anhydrous ethanol. For example, 100g of anhydrous ethanol is mixed with 5-10g of 65-68% nitric acid and 1-5g of hydrogen peroxide.
[0028] For every 1g of FeSiBCuNb spherical amorphous powder, add 1-2ml of nitric acid-hydrogen peroxide solution. The surface hydroxylation treatment temperature is 10-30℃, the stirring speed is 150-350rpm, and the surface hydroxylation treatment time is 3-10min.

[0030] In step 3, the volume ratio of ethyl silicate to FeSiBCuNb spherical amorphous powder is 0.05–0.25 ml / g, the volume ratio of deionized water to FeSiBCuNb spherical amorphous powder is 0.15–0.60 ml / g, the pH is adjusted to 8–10, the stirring speed is 150–350 rpm, and the reaction time is 0.5–3 h.
[0031] In step 4, the resin used is a high-temperature silicone resin resistant to 800℃. The mass of the SiO2-coated FeSiBCuNb amorphous powder is used as the calculation basis. The amount of resin used is 2.0-5.0 wt%, the amount of acetone used is 20-60 wt%, the stirring speed is 150-350 rpm, the drying temperature is 40-70℃, and the time is 10-60 min.

Attached Figure Description
[0036] Figure 1 This is a SEM image of the FeSiBCuNb amorphous nanocrystalline magnetic powder of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0037] The core idea of this invention is to perform surface hydroxylation treatment on amorphous powder by adding it to a nitric acid-hydrogen peroxide solution. During this process, the strong oxidizing environment provided by the nitric acid-hydrogen peroxide solution can effectively oxidize and dissolve trace organic contaminants, greases, and metallic impurities on the surface of the alloy powder. The Fe in the amorphous powder is oxidized by the nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide to produce Fe2+. 2+ and Fe 3+ ions, Fe 2+It will react with hydrogen peroxide in solution to produce Fe. 3+ OH - Hydroxyl radicals, as strong oxidants, can effectively oxidize and dissolve trace organic contaminants, grease, and metallic impurities on the surface of alloy powders. They also oxidize the magnetic powder surface to produce slight, uniform etching. This etching increases the surface's physical roughness, providing more reaction sites and a larger specific surface area, which is beneficial for the physical anchoring and surface adhesion of hydrolyzed SiO2, significantly enhancing coating adhesion and thus improving the coating effect. Simultaneously, the strong oxidizing environment generates a thin, dense oxide layer on the magnetic powder surface. This oxide layer is rich in metallic hydroxyl groups. During the subsequent hydrolysis of ethyl silicate, the silanol groups generated by the hydrolysis of ethyl silicate can firmly bind to the metallic hydroxyl groups on the magnetic powder surface through hydrogen bonding and dehydration condensation. By using a nitric acid-hydrogen peroxide solution to perform surface hydroxylation treatment on the magnetic powder, silane coupling agents can be effectively replaced.
[0038] Meanwhile, the crystallization process employs a segmented crystallization treatment. First, crystallization is carried out at a higher temperature to maximize the precipitation of nanocrystalline grains. Then, the crystallization temperature is lowered to allow further precipitation of nanocrystalline grains while inhibiting their growth. By performing segmented crystallization on the formed FeSiBCuNb amorphous magnetic powder core blank, a larger crystal volume fraction and smaller grain size are obtained, resulting in superior magnetic properties.
[0039] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:

[0047] Add the FeSiBCuNb amorphous powder with surface hydroxylation treatment in step 2 to a tetraethyl orthosilicate-anhydrous ethanol solution, add a certain amount of deionized water and adjust the pH of the solution with ammonia water, and stir in a water bath until dry.
[0048] Step 4. Resin Coating:

[0054] Step 7. Crystallization:
[0055] The magnetic powder core blank obtained in step 6 is subjected to crystallization treatment to obtain the FeSiBCuNb amorphous nanocrystalline magnetic powder core.
