- Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 6-267723 (patent literature 1), for example, discloses such a soft magnetic material.
- Patent Literature 1: Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 6-267723
- In the soft magnetic material disclosed in the aforementioned literature, however, there has been such a problem that electric resistivity is excessively high and magnetic flux density is small.
- Accordingly, the present invention has been proposed in order to solve the aforementioned problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a soft magnetic material having optimized electric resistivity and a method for producing the same.
- The soft magnetic material according to the present invention comprises a plurality of composite magnetic particles. Each of the plurality of composite magnetic particles has a metal magnetic particle and an insulating coating film, containing at least one substance selected from a group consisting of aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide and silicon oxide, surrounding the surface of the metal magnetic particle. Electric resistivity p of the soft magnetic material is at least 3000 µΩcm and not more than 50000 µΩcm.
- More preferably, magnetic permeability µ of the soft magnetic material is at least 2000 and not more than 4000. The method for producing a soft magnetic material according to the present invention is a method for producing the aforementioned soft magnetic material and comprises the steps of preparing a compaction by pressing a plurality of composite magnetic particles having metal magnetic particles and insulating coating films, containing at least one substance selected from a group consisting of aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide and silicon oxide, surrounding the surfaces of the metal magnetic particles and performing first heat treatment on the compaction at a temperature of at least 400°C and not more than 900°C.

- According to the present invention, a soft magnetic material having desired magnetic characteristics and a method for producing the same can be provided.

- Fig. 1 is a typical diagram showing a section of a soft magnetic material according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- 10 metal magnetic particle, 20 insulating coating film, 30 composite magnetic particle.
- A soft magnetic material according to the present invention has a plurality of composite magnetic particles, and each of the composite magnetic particles has a metal magnetic particle and an insulating coating film surrounding the surface of the metal magnetic particle.
- The metal magnetic particles are generally made of iron (Fe). However, the metal magnetic particles are not restricted to iron, but may alternatively be formed by other magnetic particles. For example, the metal magnetic particles may be made of an iron (Fe)-silicon (Si) alloy, an iron (Fe)-nitrogen (N) alloy, an iron (Fe)-nickel (Ni) alloy, an iron (Fe)-carbon (C) alloy, an iron (Fe)-boron (B) alloy, an iron (Fe)-cobalt (Co) alloy, an iron (Fe)-phosphorus (P) alloy, an iron (Fe)-nickel (Ni)-cobalt (Co) alloy or an iron (Fe)-aluminum (Al)-silicon (Si) alloy. The metal magnetic particles may be of a simple substance of metal or an alloy.
- The average particle diameter of the metal magnetic particles is preferably at least 5 µm and not more than 200 µm. If the average particle diameter of the metal magnetic particles is less than 5 µm, the metal is so easily oxidized that the magnetic characteristics of the soft magnetic material may be reduced. If the average particle diameter of the metal magnetic particles exceeds 20 µm, compressibility of mixed powder is reduced in a subsequent pressure-forming step. Thus, the density of a compaction obtained through the pressure-forming step may be so reduced that it is difficult to handle the compaction.
- It is to be noted that the average particle size described herein refers to a particle size obtained when the sum of masses of particles added in ascending order of particle size in a histogram of particle sizes measured by sieving reaches 50 % of the total mass, that is, 50 % particle size D.
- The insulating coating films can be made of an oxide insulator containing aluminum and/or zirconium and/or silicon. The electric resistivity p of the soft magnetic material can be increased by covering the surfaces of the metal magnetic particles with the insulating coating films. Thus, iron loss of the soft magnetic material resulting from eddy current can be reduced by inhibiting the eddy current from flowing between the metal magnetic particles.
- According to the present invention, the electric resistivity p of the soft magnetic material is at least 3000 µΩcm and not more than 50000 µΩcm. If the electric resistivity p is less than 3000 µΩcm, the electric resistivity is reduced to reduce the effect of suppressing the eddy current.
- If the electric resistivity p exceeds 50000 µΩcm contrarily thereto, the electric resistivity is unpreferably excessively increased. More specifically, increase of the electric resistivity p means increase of the quantity of the insulating coating films. If the quantity of the insulating coating films is excessively increased, magnetic characteristics such as magnetic permeability and magnetic flux density are deteriorated.
- In order to improve the aforementioned effect, the electric resistivity p of the soft magnetic material is preferably at least 6000 µΩcm and not more than 15000 µΩcm, more preferably at least 8000 µΩcm and not more than 10000 µΩcm.
- The thickness of the insulating coating films is preferably at least 0.005 µm and not more than 20 µm. Energy loss resulting from eddy current can be effectively suppressed by setting the thickness of the insulating coating films to at least 0.005 µm. When the thickness of the insulating coating films is set to not more than 20 µm, the volume ratio of the insulating coating films occupying the soft magnetic material is not excessively increased. Thus, a soft material having prescribed saturation magnetic flux density can be formed.
- More preferably, magnetic permeability µ of the soft magnetic material is at least 2000 and not more than 4000. Further preferably, the magnetic permeability µ of the soft magnetic material is at least 2500 and not more than 3500.
- A method for producing the aforementioned soft magnetic material is now described. First, a plurality of composite magnetic particles are prepared. These composite magnetic particles are introduced into a powder compaction, and mixed powder is pressure-formed under a condition of pressure of at least 390 MPa and not more than 1500 MPa, for example. Thus, the mixed powder is so compressed that a compaction can be obtained. The pressure forming is preferably performed under an inert gas atmosphere or a decompressed atmosphere. In this case, the mixed powder can be prevented from oxidation by oxygen in the atmosphere. In the step of preparing the compaction, well-known warm pressing or die wall lubrication is so employed as to densify the compaction, improve the space factor and improve the magnetic characteristics. The powder temperature in the warm pressing is preferably 100°C to 180°C.
- In order to reinforce bonding between the composite magnetic particles, organic matter may intervene between the composite magnetic particles. In this case, the composite magnetic particles and the organic matter must be previously mixed with each other. The mixing method is not restricted but any of mechanical alloying, vibration ball milling, satellite ball milling, mechanofusion, coprecipitation, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), plating, sputtering, vapor deposition and a sol-gel process can be used.
- Thermoplastic resin such as thermoplastic polyimide, thermoplastic polyamide, thermoplastic polyamidimide, polyphenylene sulfide, polyamidimide, poly(ethersulfone), polyether imide or poly(etheretherketone) can be employed for the organic matter. This organic matter is so provided that the organic matter functions as a lubricant between the plurality of composite magnetic particles. Thus, breakage of the insulating coating films can be suppressed in the pressure-forming step.
- Then, the compaction obtained by the pressure forming is heat-treated at a temperature of at least 400°C and not more than 900°C. Large numbers of strains and dislocations are caused in the compaction obtained through the pressure-forming step, and the strains and the dislocations result in reduction of the magnetic permeability and increase of the coercive force. The heat treatment is performed on the compaction, in order to eliminate these strains and dislocations. Such heat treatment is required also when the organic matter intervenes between the composite magnetic particles.
- In order to improve the density of the soft magnetic material and eliminate the dislocations and the strains from the soft magnetic material, the soft magnetic material is compressed again to be improved in density, and thereafter heat-treated under the atmospheric pressure at a temperature of 400°C and not more than 900°C.
- Thus, the inventive soft magnetic material can be produced.
- In general, hysteresis loss is reduced if the coercive force of the soft magnetic material is small, the coercive force is also increased if the hysteresis loss is large, and the magnetic permeability is increased if the coercive force is small. Improvement of the magnetic permeability leads to reduction of the hysteresis loss. According to the present invention, the material is so constituted as to increase the magnetic permeability, leading to reduction of the hysteresis loss.
- In order to reduce eddy current loss, it is important to keep insulation between the composite magnetic particles. Increase of specific resistance of the soft magnetic material as a bulk body leads to reduction of the eddy current loss. In particular, the eddy current loss includes eddy current loss in the respective particles and eddy current loss caused between the particles. The eddy current loss between the particles must be reduced, and it is possible to reduce the eddy current loss according to the present invention since the specific resistance of the soft magnetic material is increased in the range not damaging the magnetic characteristics.
- The compositions of aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide and silicon oxide constituting the insulating coating films in the present invention are not particularly restricted. More specifically, the composition of aluminum oxide is not restricted to Al2O3, and the atomic ratio between aluminum and oxygen may be properly changed. Also as to the composition ratio of zirconium oxide, the ratio between zirconium and oxygen may be properly changed. Further, the ratio between silicon and oxygen may be properly changed also as to the composition ratio of silicon oxide.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a section of a soft magnetic material according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 1, the soft magnetic material comprises a plurality of composite
magnetic particles 30. Each of the plurality of compositemagnetic particles 30 has a metalmagnetic particle 10 and an insulatingcoating film 20, containing at least one substance selected from a group consisting of aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide and silicon oxide, surrounding the surface of the metalmagnetic particle 10. The electric resistivity p of the soft magnetic material is at least 3000 µΩcm and not more than 50000 µΩcm.Organic matter 40 intervenes between the compositemagnetic particles 30. - According to Example 1, a soft magnetic material according to the present invention was produced. First, iron particles having an average particle diameter of 70 µm were prepared as metal magnetic particles. These iron particles were coated with Al2O3 films serving as insulating coating films by a wet method. At this time, the thickness of the insulating coating films was set to about 100 nm. Composite magnetic particles were formed by surrounding the surfaces of the iron particles with the Al2O3 films through this coating.
- Mixed powder was prepared by mixing the composite magnetic particles and particles of polyphenylene sulfide resin having an average particle diameter of not more than 100 µm with each other. The mixed powder was introduced into a metal mold and subjected to pressure molding. At this time, the pressure molding was performed in a nitrogen gas atmosphere, the metal mold was set to the normal temperature, and the pressure was set to 882 MPa. Thus, a sample of a compaction was obtained. Then, the compaction was heat-treated. The heat treatment was performed in a nitrogen gas atmosphere at a temperature of 800°C for 3 hours. Electric resistivity, density and magnetic permeability µ of the sample thereafter measured were 5670 µΩcm, 7.5 g/cm3 and 2050 respectively.
- In comparative example 1, Somalloy 500 (trade name) was prepared as composite magnetic particles. Somalloy 500 is composite magnetic particles prepared by molding phosphate coating films on the surfaces of iron particles. Mixed powder was prepared by mixing particles of polyphenylene sulfide into the composite magnetic particles. The mixed powder was introduced into a compaction and subjected to pressure forming. At this time, the pressure forming was performed in a nitrogen gas atmosphere, the metal mold was set to the normal temperature, and the pressure was set to 882 MPa. Thus, a compaction was obtained.
- Then, the compaction was heat-treated. The heat treatment was performed in a nitrogen gas atmosphere at a temperature of 300°C for 0.5 hours. Thereafter electric resistivity and magnetic permeability of the compaction were measured. The electric resistivity was 350 µΩcm, and the magnetic permeability µ was 600.
- From the aforementioned results, it has been confirmed that the inventive soft magnetic material can satisfy the magnetic characteristics required to the soft magnetic material.
- The embodiment and Example disclosed this time must be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is shown not by the above description but by the scope of claim for patent, and it is intended that all modifications within the meaning and range equivalent to the scope of claim for patent are included.
