Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a soft magnetic alloy and a magnetic component.
  • Patent Document 1 a Fe—B-M soft magnetic alloy is disclosed.
  • M denotes at least one element selected from Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Mo, and W.
  • Patent Document 1 describes that the soft magnetic properties and the saturation magnetic flux density of the soft magnetic alloy can be improved by performing a heat treatment on an amorphous metal produced by liquid phase cooling to deposit fine crystalline phase. However, it is necessary to reduce coercivity in order to improve the soft magnetic properties of the soft magnetic alloy, but reduction in the coercivity has not been sufficiently considered in Patent Document 1.
  • the coercivity is mainly derived from magnetocrystalline anisotropy and magnetoelastic effect.
  • the coercivity derived from the magnetoelastic effect appears when stress is applied to a magnetic material having a large magnetostriction.
  • the coercivity derived from the magnetocrystalline anisotropy can be reduced by isotropically depositing nanometer scale fine Fe-based crystal phase.
  • the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an objective thereof is to provide a soft magnetic alloy capable of achieving both low coercivity and high saturation magnetic flux density by reducing both the magnetostriction and the magnetocrystalline anisotropy.
  • a magnetic component comprising the soft magnetic alloy according to any one of [1] to [4].
  • the soft magnetic alloy of the present embodiment has Fe-based nanocrystals and amorphous.
  • the Fe-based nanocrystal is a crystal of which the crystal grain size is in the nanometer scale and which has a bcc (body-centered cubic lattice) structure.
  • many Fe-based nanocrystals are deposited and dispersed in the amorphous.
  • a soft magnetic alloy in which the Fe-based nanocrystals are dispersed in the amorphous is easy to exhibit high saturation magnetic flux density and low coercivity.
  • the average crystal grain size of the Fe-based nanocrystal is preferably 5 nm or more and 30 nm or less. With the average crystal grain size in the above range, it is easy to achieve low magnetostriction, high saturation magnetic flux density, and low coercivity.
  • composition of the soft magnetic alloy of the present embodiment is represented by a composition formula (Fe (1 ⁇ ( ⁇ + ⁇ )) X1 ⁇ X2 ⁇ ) (1 ⁇ (a+b+c+d+e+f)) M a B b P c Si d C e Zn f .
  • M denotes at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, and W.
  • a represents the content ratio of M.
  • “a” is determined by the relationship with “f” (described later) representing the content ratio of Zn.
  • “b” represents the content ratio of B (boron), and “b” satisfies 0.080 ⁇ b ⁇ 0.150.
  • the content ratio (b) of B is preferably 0.130 or less.
  • “c” represents the content ratio of P (phosphorus), and “c” satisfies 0 ⁇ c ⁇ 0.060. That is, P is an optional component.
  • the content ratio (c) of P is preferably 0.005 or more, and more preferably 0.010 or more. In addition, the content ratio (c) of P is preferably 0.040 or less.
  • the sum of the content ratios of B and P satisfies b+c ⁇ 0.100.
  • the soft magnetic alloy having the above composition region tends to have large positive magnetostriction.
  • the coercivity is affected by not only the magnetocrystalline anisotropy but also the magnetoelastic effect. If the magnetoelastic effect is great, that is, when the magnetostriction is large, the coercivity may not be sufficiently reduced.
  • a predetermined amount of Zn (zinc) is contained in the soft magnetic alloy.
  • Zn zinc
  • the soft magnetic alloy of the present embodiment exhibits small coercivity and high saturation magnetic flux density, because both the magnetocrystalline anisotropy and the magnetoelastic effect are reduced.
  • f represents the content ratio of Zn
  • f satisfies 0.003 ⁇ f ⁇ 0.080
  • a and “f” satisfy 0.003 ⁇ a+f ⁇ 0.080. That is, in the present embodiment, M is substituted with Zn (zinc). Zn may substitute all of M, or may substitute a part of M within the above range.
  • f is preferably 0.010 or more. On the other hand, “f” is preferably 0.050 or less. In addition, a+f is preferably 0.010 or more. On the other hand, a+f is preferably 0.050 or less.
  • One of the factors for the increase in magnetostriction is the expansion in the lattice spacing of bcc caused by solid-solution of M in the Fe-based nanocrystals having a bcc structure. Because Zn has an atomic radius smaller than that of the M element, the expansion of the lattice spacing of bcc can be suppressed when Zn, instead of M, is solid-soluted in the Fe-based nanocrystals. As a result, the positive magnetostriction of the Fe-based nanocrystals is considered to decrease. In addition, the lattice spacing tends to expand when Zn is added excessively, and as a result, the magnetostriction reduction effect is considered to decreases.
  • Zn also has the effect of refinement of the Fe-based nanocrystals, and thus it is possible to obtain a soft magnetic alloy of which the magnetostriction is reduced while the structure having fine nanocrystals is maintained.
  • the lattice spacing of bcc expands when M is solid-soluted in bcc, and thus the expansion in the lattice spacing of bcc is preferably equal to or less than a predetermined value.
  • a (110) plane spacing of bcc is employed as the lattice spacing of bcc. Because pure iron does not contain M, M is not solid-soluted in bcc of pure iron. That is, the expansion in the plane spacing caused by the solid-solution of M in bcc does not occur. Accordingly, it means that the closer the (110) plane spacing of the soft magnetic alloy is to the (110) plane spacing of the pure iron, the lower the solid-solution ratio of M in bcc is.
  • a value obtained by subtracting the (110) plane spacing of pure iron from the (110) plane spacing of the soft magnetic alloy is defined as an expansion value of the (110) plane spacing.
  • the expansion value of the (110) plane spacing is preferably 0.002 angstroms or less.
  • the (110) plane spacing of the soft magnetic alloy and the (110) plane spacing of pure iron can be calculated by XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) measurement. That is, the (110) plane spacing can be calculated from the angle at which a diffraction peak of the (110) plane is observed and the wavelength of X-ray. Then, the expansion value of the (110) plane spacing may be calculated based on the calculated spacing.
  • XRD X-Ray Diffraction
  • the (110) plane spacing of the soft magnetic alloy and the (110) plane spacing of pure iron are preferably measured with the same device and under the same measurement conditions.
  • “d” represents the content ratio of Si (silicon), and “d” satisfies 0 ⁇ d ⁇ 0.060. That is, Si is an optional component.
  • the content ratio (d) of Si is preferably 0.001 or more, and more preferably 0.005 or more.
  • the content ratio (d) of Si is preferably 0.030 or less.
  • e represents the content ratio of C (carbon), and “e” satisfies 0 ⁇ e ⁇ 0.030. That is, C is an optional component.
  • the content ratio (e) of C is preferably 0.001 or more.
  • the content ratio (e) of C is preferably 0.015 or less.
  • 1 ⁇ (a+b+c+d+e+f) represents the total content ratio of Fe (iron), X1 and X2.
  • the total content ratio of Fe, X1 and X2 is not particularly limited as long as “a”, “b”, “c”, “d”, “e” and “f” are within the above ranges.
  • the total content ratio (1 ⁇ (a+b+c+d+e+f)) is preferably 0.73 or more and 0.95 or less. With the total content ratio set to 0.73 or more, high saturation magnetic flux density is obtained easily. In addition, with the total content ratio set to 0.95 or less, crystal phase configured by crystals having a grain size larger than 30 nm is hardly generated. As a result, a soft magnetic alloy in which the Fe-based nanocrystals are deposited by heat treatment tends to be obtained easily.
  • X1 denotes at least one element selected from the group consisting of Co and Ni.
  • “a” represents the content ratio of X1
  • “ ⁇ ” is 0 or more in the present embodiment. That is, X1 is an optional component.
