Definitions
- This invention relates to the manufacture of magnetic cores having a cubic ferrite as a magnetic material, which give rise to small losses at low inductance, even with high frequencies, more particularly cores for telegraphy and telephony purposes, for example for filter coils, pupin coils, etc.
- magnetic cubic ferrites ordinarily have a high specific electrical resistance, for example 1000 ohms cm. and higher, and since with a resistance of to 100 ohms cm. the eddycurrents are already extremely feeble, such ferrites practically do not exhibit eddy-current losses. It appears, however,'that in spite of the eddy-current losses being substantially nil, there may nevertheless occur considerable losses.
- the present invention is based on the recognition of the fact that these losses are connected with the oxygen contents of ferrite.
- the invention consists in that in the manuiacture of a magnetic material constituted by a magnetic cubic ferrite having a high specific re sistance, higher than 1000 ohms cm., so high a percentage of oxygen of the ferrite is provided for that the loss factor too in the frequency range of from 10 to 100 kllocycles/sec. is less than 0.06.

- the process fundamentally consists simply that by a suitable choice of the conditions care is taken that the heating temperature required for the preparation of the ferrite is maintained sumciently low.
- the temperature will depend on the intensity with which, and the fineness to which the mixture is ground.
- a very fine mixture ground for a long time will within a reasonable period be capable of yielding a homogeneous product thoroughly reacted at lower temperatures than a coarser mixture ground for a shorter time; as will be explained more fully hereinafter, such a complete reaction is of great importance in view of the initial permeability of the final product.
- the sintering temperature is somewhat decreased by decreasing the percentage of iron oxide of the ferrite.
- the conditions more particularly the temperature at which a ferrite is caused to absorb oxygen, depend on several factors, such as on the amount of oxygen which must be absorbed to obtain a sufiiciently low value for tga, on the degree to which all parts of the ferrite are accessible to oxygen, on its fineness of grain and hence on its porosity, and further on the kind and'the composition of the ferrite used.
- An important factor which must be considered in utilizing the invention is the initial permeability of the final product since the serviceability of a magnetic core is substantially determined by the value of the quotient of the above-defined loss factor tat and the initial permeability ,u. measured on an annular core. Cores having a high initial permeability and low losses are of great importance. Consequently, in the manufacture of such cores one will desire to combine the steps for obtaining a sufliciently high percentage of oxygen with steps which are required to obtain a high initial permeability, care having to be taken to see to it that the different steps do not come into conflict with one another.
- the initial permeability of the ferrite is at a maximum at a temperature in the neighborhood of, but less than the Curie point, the Curie point being the temperature at which the magnetic material for all practical purposes may be considered non-magnetic; in view thereof a ferrite having a Curie-point located between 40 C. and 250 C. is highly advantageous.
- a ferrite of this kind is obtained, for example, by combining zinc ferrite, which has a low Curiepoint, with one or more ferrites having a higher Curie-point, such as nickel ferrite, so that a mixed crystal is obtained.
- Curie-point has to be understood in this case to mean the temperature at which the ferrite, as regards its initial permeability, changes into a state to be considered as unmagnetic for practical purposes.

- Such a. magnetic material which has a loss factor higher than 0.06 with frequencies lower than 1000 kilocycles/sec. is not suited to radio purposes, it is true, but it is still well serviceable for telegraphy or telephony. Besides, it offers the advantage that in many cases, due to the higher permissible sintering temperature, a high er initial permeability is obtained.
- the initial permeabilities that can be obtained are different, amongst others because one ferrite during cooling separates a second phase less easily than another and may thus be brought more-easily into the state which approaches that of a single homogeneous phase, with the use of a ferrite of suitable composition it has in many cases been found possible to make a magnetic material of which the value of is smaller than 0.0001 from 10 to kilocycles/sec.

Section 1, Public Law 690, August 8, 1946 Patent expires May 31, 1963 19 Claims. (Cl. 252-625) This invention relates to the manufacture of magnetic cores having a cubic ferrite as a magnetic material, which give rise to small losses at low inductance, even with high frequencies, more particularly cores for telegraphy and telephony purposes, for example for filter coils, pupin coils, etc.
It is known that magnetic cubic ferrites ordinarily have a high specific electrical resistance, for example 1000 ohms cm. and higher, and since with a resistance of to 100 ohms cm. the eddycurrents are already extremely feeble, such ferrites practically do not exhibit eddy-current losses. It appears, however,'that in spite of the eddy-current losses being substantially nil, there may nevertheless occur considerable losses.
Reference is made to my copending U. S. applications Serial Nos. 616,928 filed September 17, 1945, and 617,392 filed September 19, 1945, of which the present application is a continuationin-part.
The present invention is based on the recognition of the fact that these losses are connected with the oxygen contents of ferrite.
With regard to the percentage of oxygen it may be mentioned that it is known that a ferrite when heated to high temperatures such, for example, as are utilized in its preparatiom'may split off oxygen. In order to avoid such a deficiency of oxygen, the heating in question was carried out in pure oxygen.
Now, it has been found that, even if a heating required for the preparation or any other purpose is carried out in pure oxygen; a small deficiency of oxygen frequently occurs and that to our surprise such a small deficiency of oxygen, which may be only a few hundredths of percent by weight of the total weight of the ferrite, is highly disadvantageous for the losses.
Now, the invention consists in that in the manuiacture of a magnetic material constituted by a magnetic cubic ferrite having a high specific re sistance, higher than 1000 ohms cm., so high a percentage of oxygen of the ferrite is provided for that the loss factor too in the frequency range of from 10 to 100 kllocycles/sec. is less than 0.06. The value tgt is equal to R being the loss resistance measured whilst avoiding the occurrence of dielectric losses and deduction being made of the direct-current resistance, L representing the inductance of a coil 2 wound on an annular core of the ferrite, and (0 being the annular frequency.
A percentage of oxygen according to the invention may be obtained in difierent manners,
according to the kind and the composition of the ferrite.
The process, fundamentally consists simply that by a suitable choice of the conditions care is taken that the heating temperature required for the preparation of the ferrite is maintained sumciently low.
With regard to the heating temperature it is observed that, for example, with a ferrite which is prepared by heating an intimate mixture of the solid oxides constituting the ferrite the temperature will depend on the intensity with which, and the fineness to which the mixture is ground. A very fine mixture ground for a long time will within a reasonable period be capable of yielding a homogeneous product thoroughly reacted at lower temperatures than a coarser mixture ground for a shorter time; as will be explained more fully hereinafter, such a complete reaction is of great importance in view of the initial permeability of the final product.
Further, it has been found that in definite cases,
' the sintering temperature is somewhat decreased by decreasing the percentage of iron oxide of the ferrite.
Although the variation of the conditions under which a ferrite is prepared permits a certain amount of latitude in the heating temperature required, it is frequently not possible in practice to provide for a sufficiently high percentage of oxygen already during the preparation of the ferrite. According to the invention, such a ferrite having a too low percentage of oxygen, which consequently is unsaturated with respect to oxygen, may be caused to absorb oxygen, for example at lower temperature.
The conditions, more particularly the temperature at which a ferrite is caused to absorb oxygen, depend on several factors, such as on the amount of oxygen which must be absorbed to obtain a sufiiciently low value for tga, on the degree to which all parts of the ferrite are accessible to oxygen, on its fineness of grain and hence on its porosity, and further on the kind and'the composition of the ferrite used.
It has been found that with unvaried oxygen pressure the amount of oxygen absorbed increases with a decrease of temperature. 0n the other hand it is necessary to consider the circumstance that the speed of absorption of oxygen decreases with a decrease in temperature. This speed further strongly depends on the fineness of grain and the porosity of the ferrite so that in view of the time which would otherwise be taken up by the absorption of oxygen, it is desirable that the ferrite should be utilized in the fine-grained porous state.
It is observed that to our surprise it was found possible to manufacture a ferrite in a sintered state which is sufficiently compact to serve as a magnetic core whilst maintaining at the same time suificient porosity.
An important factor which must be considered in utilizing the invention is the initial permeability of the final product since the serviceability of a magnetic core is substantially determined by the value of the quotient of the above-defined loss factor tat and the initial permeability ,u. measured on an annular core. Cores having a high initial permeability and low losses are of great importance. Consequently, in the manufacture of such cores one will desire to combine the steps for obtaining a sufliciently high percentage of oxygen with steps which are required to obtain a high initial permeability, care having to be taken to see to it that the different steps do not come into conflict with one another.
It has now been found that for obtaining a high value for the initial permeability it is desirable to ensure that the ultimate ferrite approaches as far as possible the state of a single homogeneous phase, i. e. it must be ensured that the ferrite forming initial mixture reacts thoroughly while during cooling the ferrite once produced must be prevented as far as possible from splitting off a second phase. The latter case may occur when during cooling the ferrite splits off one of its constitutive oxides which at high temperature is so-to-say maintained in an oversaturated solid solution, or when during cooling the ferrite will fall into its constitutive oxides. If there is a danger of a second phase being separated, this may be avoided by rapid cooling, although a rapid cooling, more rapid than, for example, at the rate of C. per minute is as a rule to be avoided, since thus chilling tensions may result which are detrimental to the permeability. The most advantageous speed of cooling may be easily ascertained experimentally in each individual case. From the foregoing it further follows that during the absorption of oxygen the temperature must preferably remain above the temperature at which a second phase may be produced.
Further it has been found that, like with other 7 magnetic materials, the initial permeability of the ferrite is at a maximum at a temperature in the neighborhood of, but less than the Curie point, the Curie point being the temperature at which the magnetic material for all practical purposes may be considered non-magnetic; in view thereof a ferrite having a Curie-point located between 40 C. and 250 C. is highly advantageous. A ferrite of this kind is obtained, for example, by combining zinc ferrite, which has a low Curiepoint, with one or more ferrites having a higher Curie-point, such as nickel ferrite, so that a mixed crystal is obtained.
It is also possible to influence the Curie-point of the ferrite by regulating its percentage of iron oxide while, in addition, the percentage of oxygen may be of influence. The term Curie-point has to be understood in this case to mean the temperature at which the ferrite, as regards its initial permeability, changes into a state to be considered as unmagnetic for practical purposes.
For obtaining a high initial permeability the use of pure raw materials also is of much importance.
As previously mentioned, there is a danger of the steps required for the obtainment of a high initial permeability coming into conflict with steps required for a sufficiently high percentage of oxygen which is desirable in view of the losses. Thus, for obtaining a high initial permeability, heating to a high temperature is generally desirable in order to facilitate the thorough reaction and the formation of a homogeneous phase. The heating temperature necessary to obtain the highest possible initial permeability is in most cases, however, such that the percentage of oxygen and the possibility of absorption of oxygen are detrimentally affected by such a heating, the obtainment of low losses thus being rendered difficult. Consequently, in this case one has to arrive at a compromise solution.
In my copending U. S. application Serial No. 616,928, filed September 17, 1945, I have described a method of manufacturing a homogeneous mixed crystal ferrite having an oxygen contentat which the coefficient of losses tgc in a frequency range between 10 kc./sec. and 1000 kc./ sec. is less than 0.06 which is particularly suited for radio purposes. In order to provide for such a percentage of oxygen, it is necessary in the preparation of ferrite, or with a heating for other purposes not to utilize an excessive temperature; due ta the avoidance of a high temperautre an optimum value for the permeability is frequently not obtained. In this case one has to do with a. compromise, as above referred to.
Now, it has been found that, when using higher sintering temperature, it is still possible to obtain such a percentage of oxygen that the loss factor tg6 through a region extending to less high frequencies is lower than 0.06. With higher frequencies the loss factor exceeds this limit.
This material sintered at a higher temperature differentiates from the material sintered at a lower temperature amongst others by a coarser granular structure.
Such a. magnetic material which has a loss factor higher than 0.06 with frequencies lower than 1000 kilocycles/sec. is not suited to radio purposes, it is true, but it is still well serviceable for telegraphy or telephony. Besides, it offers the advantage that in many cases, due to the higher permissible sintering temperature, a high er initial permeability is obtained.
Although, as a matter of fact, the initial permeabilities that can be obtained are different, amongst others because one ferrite during cooling separates a second phase less easily than another and may thus be brought more-easily into the state which approaches that of a single homogeneous phase, with the use of a ferrite of suitable composition it has in many cases been found possible to make a magnetic material of which the value of is smaller than 0.0001 from 10 to kilocycles/sec. Such a material is excellently suited to telegraphy and telephony purposes, for example to the manufacture of filter coils, with which it is desired to utilize frequencies of about 10 to 100 kilocycles/sec. Also for pupin coils which as a rule are used with frequencies of from 300 to 2000 cycles/sec, such a magnetic material is excellently suited. According to the invention, very good results may be obtained with ferrites of which the percentage of iron oxide is less than 50 mol. per cent.
As previously mentioned, the serviceability of a magnetic material is substantially determined by the value of the quotient To explain this, it is observed that the reason why this material constant has such a suitable value for'the judgment of a magnetic material is that in a magnetic circuit having one or more so-called air-gaps the quotient tgs all I III of the effective loss factor time and of the effecin which tgt and pare measured on an annular core.
When-the constant value of the quotient for a ferrite has once been fixed, for example by measurements on an annular core of the ferrite. the loss factor of another core built up from this material may consequently be found by multiphcation of the Constant with the effective permeability of this core.
A ferrite according to the invention is preferably prepared by compressing and subsequently sinteringa mixture of the oxides constituting the ferrite, or a corresponding mixture of compounds which upon heating change into oxide.
To obtain a product reacted as thoroughly as possible, it is desirable, as previously mentioned, to start from a ferrite-forming initial mixture of great fineness and reactivity. In order to obtain a great reactivity, the initial mixture may be ground for a long time and with great intensity, this grinding being preferably effected to such extent that an average size of particles smaller than 1 ,u is obtained.
It is alternatively possible to precipitate a solution containing all the metals constituting the ferrite with the aid of a base and to dry the deposit, obtained, which may in part already exhibit ferrite structure. Subsequently, in order to improve the mouldability, the deposit is preferably heated to 500 to 700C.
Further, in the preparation of a ferrite it is possible to utilize sintering several times, that is to say that the mixture at first sintered is pulverized and sintered again. In this case the first sinterings are effected at lower temperature, during which the mixture does not yet show a complete reaction. The product obtained can then be easily reground to great fineness. A compression of the mixture to be preliminarily sintered is preferably omitted, also to facilitate grinding. This method of preparation offers the advantage that at least a well reacted product is obtained, which increases the value of the initial permeability.
In my copending U. S. application Serial No. 616,928, filed September 17, 1945, of which the present application is a continuation-in-part, I have described and claimed homogeneous mixed crystal ferrites having an oxygen content at which the coemcient of losses too in the frequency range between 10 kc./sec. and 1000 kcJsec. is less than 0.06. Cores having such magnetic materials are excluded from the exclusive rights now claimed. It is still mentioned that the expression magnetic core in the present invention covers not only a core arranged inside a coil but as a rule parts of electro-magnetic constructions which are utilized in view of their magnetic properties, for example also parts for magnetic screening.
In order that the invention may be more readily understood it will now be described with reference to the following examples and the accompanyinz drawing in which:
Fig. 1 shows the relationship between the quotient of the coeflicient of losses and permeability p with frequency for Example I,
Fig. 2 shows the relationship between the quotient of the coeflicient of losses and P rmeability with frequency for Example II; and
Fig. 3 shows a core composed essentially of magnetic ferrite material according to the invention.
Referring to the drawing, I have shown a sample ring core ill of a homogeneous mixed crystal ferrite which is provided with an oxygen content at which the coefficient of losses tat is less than 0.06 in a frequency range between 10 and kc./sec. and greater than 0.06 at a frequency between 100 and 1000 kcjsec.
Example I An intimate mixture of pure magnesium oxide, zinc oxide and iron oxide in a molecular ratio of 26.5:26.5:47 is ground during 3 hours in an iron hurling mill. A ring of 3 cm. in diameter and 4 x 4 mm. in section is moulded from the mixture under a. pressure of 4 tons/cm. with the use of water as a plastifying and binding agent. This ring is heated in oxygen to 1300 C. during 1 hour, followed by cooling in oxygen at a. rate of about 3 C. per minute. The initial permeability amounts to 350. The values of are plotted in Figure 1 in dependence on frequency, curve a. From this curve it follows that with frequencies higher than 800 kilocycles/sec. the value for tga becomes higher than 0.06.
If the heating is effected at 1400 C. instead of 1300" 0., one obtains the values of curve b shown in Figure 1. In this case the initial permeability amounts to 525. With frequencies higher than 350 kilocycles/sec. i578 becomes higher than 0.06.
Example If A mixture of technical copper oxide, zinc oxide and iron oxide, in a. molecular ratio of calculated on the pure oxides, which is additioned by 1% by weight of brownstone, is ground during 3 hours and subsequently moulded to form a ring in the manner described in Example I.
This ring is sintered in oxygen at 1050 C. during 1 hour and subsequently slowly cooled down to 600 0., which temperature is maintained during 14 hours, all this in oxygen, whereafter further cooling takes place. The copper-zincferrite core has an initial permeability of 385. The values of are plotted in Figure 2 in dependence of frequency. From this figure it follows that with frequencies higher than 900 kilocycles/sec. the value for tat becomes higher than 0.06.
For the purpose of defining the terms "ferrite," "mixed crystal," and "soft magnetic materials, the following definitions will be employed in connection with the above-noted terms as used throughout the specification and in the appended c aims.
A "ferrite is a crystalline material which is a compound of the reaction product of a metal oxide and iron oxide having the empirical formula MFezOl wherein M represents a bivalent metal. This material may also be defined as a metallic salt of the hypothetical acid HzFeaOa.
A mixed crystal" ferrite is a ferrite material comprising two or more ferrites as hereinbefore defined which are chemically combined together to form a single homogeneous crystalline compound.
The term "soft" magnetic material means magnetic material having a low remanence and a low coercivity when the applied inductive field is removed from the material.
Within the scope of the definitions noted above, I have described my invention with specific examples and methods of execution, which, however, will suggest other obvious modifications to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention.
