Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a powder magnetic core using a soft magnetic material powder, wherein the method has: a first step of mixing the soft magnetic material powder with a binder, a second step of subjecting a mixture obtained through the first step to pressure forming, and a third step of subjecting a formed body obtained through the second step to heat treatment. The soft magnetic material powder is an Fe—Cr—Al based alloy powder comprising Fe, Cr and Al. An oxide layer is formed on a surface of the soft magnetic material powder by the heat treatment. The oxide layer has a higher ratio by mass of Al to the sum of Fe, Cr and Al than an alloy phase inside the powder.
Abstract:
A gas-recycling device according to an embodiment includes a particle remover, a liquid remover, and a supplier. The particle remover brings a mist of liquid into contact with a gas which includes particles and is discharged from an apparatus, to remove the particles from the gas. The liquid remover removes the liquid from the gas having passed through the particle remover. The supplier supplies the gas to the apparatus.

Abstract:
A manufacturing method for an oxide-dispersed alloy wherein dispersed particles consisting of oxides of one or two or more additive metals are dispersed in a matrix metal, comprising the steps of (a) manufacturing alloy powder or an alloy wire rod consisting of the matrix metal and the additive metal; (b) oxidizing the additive metal in the alloy powder by water to form dispersed particles by introducing the alloy powder or alloy wire rod into a high-energy ball mill with water and by making agitation; and (c) moldedly solidifying the alloy powder or alloy wire rod after oxidation. The present invention is especially useful in manufacturing oxide-dispersed alloys in which the free energy of oxide formation of the matrix metal is higher than water standard free energy of formation, and the free energy of oxide formation of the additive metal is lower than water standard free energy of formation.
