Abstract:
The invention concerns a process for the preparation of soft magnetic composite products comprising the steps of providing particles of an iron based soft magnetic material with an electrically insulating layer; optionally mixing the dry powder with a lubricant; compacting the powder and heating the obtained component at an elevated temperature in the presence of water vapour. The invention also comprises the iron powder compact subjected to this treatment.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method of preparing PM products by high velocity compaction of iron or iron-based powers having irregular powder particles.
