Abstract:
L'invention procure un procédé pour fabriquer un matériau magnétique doux, dans lequel une poudre d'alliage de fer et de silicium (Fe-Si) est chauffée dans une atmosphère faiblement oxydante pour former une pellicule d'oxyde de silicium (SiO2) sur la surface, et la poudre est ensuite moulée par pression et cuite dans une atmosphère faiblement oxydante, pour obtenir un produit fritté. En accomplissant l'étape d'oxydation de surface dans une atmosphère faiblement oxydante, telle que de la vapeur d'eau, le silicium (Si) est oxydé sélectivement pour former une pellicule d'oxyde mince avec une résistance électrique élevée. En outre, en cuisant le produit moulé dans une atmosphère faiblement oxydante, le frittage peut être effectué tout en réparant la pellicule d'oxyde, dans laquelle des fissures et autres sont créées dans le moulage par pression.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method for manufacturing a soft magnetic material, wherein an Fe-Si alloy powder is heated in a weakly oxidizing atmosphere to form a SiO 2 oxide film on the surface, and the powder is then press-molded and fired in a weakly oxidizing atmosphere to obtain a sintered product. By performing the surface oxidizing step in a weakly oxidizing atmosphere such as water vapor, Si is selectively oxidized to form a thin oxide film with high electrical resistance. Furthermore, by firing the molded product in a weakly oxidizing atmosphere, the sintering can be performed while the oxide film, in which cracks and the like are generated at the press-molding, is repaired.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a sintered body having a fine and rigid high electric resistance layer on the surface of soft magnetic powder through a simple process using inexpensive soft magnetic powder principally comprising iron as a material. SOLUTION: Fe-Si alloy powder is heated in weak oxidizing atmosphere to form an SiO 2 oxide film on the surface and after being pressed, it is calcinated in weak oxidizing atmosphere to produce a sintered body. Surface oxidation process is carried out in weak oxidizing atmosphere of steam, or the like, to oxide Si selectively thus forming a thin oxide film of high electric resistance, which is then further calcinated in weak oxidizing atmosphere. The oxide film cracked at the time of press molding is repaired by repeating oxidation in pressurization atmosphere and degassing in pressure reduction atmosphere thus obtaining a high quality sintered body.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of easily manufacturing a soft magnetic material which is of low iron loss and superior in magnetic characteristics. SOLUTION: The soft magnetic material is manufactured with the host phase of soft magnetic metal existing in many regions partitioned by a diaphragm having high electrical resistance characteristics. A raw material powder is prepared which is an aggregate of soft magnetic particles 10, where an oxide film 30 which is to be the diaphragm is coated on the surface of host phase particles 20 of soft magnetic metal. A coupling agent 8, containing the metal element whose oxidizing reaction is higher than the soft magnetic metal constituting the host phase particles 20, is added to the raw material powder. The raw material powder, to which the coupling agent 8 has been added, is pressed to form a molding 110 of desired shape. Then the molding 110 is baked. The coupling agent 8 is preferably a silane-coupling agent. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method of manufacturing a sintered body wherein soft magnetic powder whose principal component is inexpensive iron is used for a raw material and the surface of the soft magnetic powder has a tight and strong high electric resistance layer with simple processes.

A thin oxide film with high electric resistance and the Si of which is selectively oxidized is formed by executing a surface oxidation process in the weakly acidic environment using water vapor, and the powder is furthermore sintered in the weakly acidic environment to permit sintering while repairing the oxide film wherein cracks or the like are caused during press forming.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wire rod for core capable of realizing low iron loss, high flux and high permeability while facilitating production, and to provide its production process, a core and its production process. SOLUTION: The core 25 has a columnar portion formed by bundling a plurality of wire rods 10 for core each consisting of an iron core material 12, and an insulation coating 16 composed of an oxide film for forming the coating having Gibbs free energy lower than that of iron and covering the surface of the core material. Since the insulation coating 16 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of each wire rod 10, generation of eddy current can be suppressed when flux flows through the core 25.
