Claims priority, application Netherlands December 22, 1953 2 Claims. (Cl. 25262.5)
Magnet cores having an approximately rectangular hysteresis loop are of importance for various uses. This kind of cores is used inter alia for so-called magnetic memories (cf. for example W. N. Papian, Proceedings of the I.R.E., April 1952, pages 475 to 478, and D. R. Brown and E. Albers-Schoenberg, Electronics, April 1953, pages 146 to 149). Such magnetic memories are used inter alia in counting machines and automatic pilots. A further use is made of these cores in magnetic switches.
The invention will be explained in connection with the accompanying drawing in which Figs. 1 and 2 show portions of hysteresis loops of a ferromagnetic material.
The measure to which the shape of the hysteresis loop approaches that of a rectangle may be expressed quantitatively in various ways. A conventional measure may be the quotient a B cl In order to explain the meaning of the said quotient reference is made to Fig. 1, which shows diagrammatically part of a saturation magnetisation curve. In this figure B designates the remanent inductance and B the inductance at which the hysteresis loop just closes. In practice it is often not easy to measure B with great accuracy. However, an approximately correct value of B may be readily found by taking the average of the inductances subsequent to partial magnetisation and partial demagnetisation (with intermediate saturation), the two inductances being measured at the same field strength, which is chosen to be such that the said in ductances differ from one another more than 1% but less than 3%. This was carried out with the measurements in accordance with the present invention; for these measurements use was made of a ballastic galvanometer (cf. Bozorth: Ferromagnetism, page 843). If reference is made herein to the quotient this is assumed to be measured at an annular magnet core having a constant section of the ferromagnetic material along the entire periphery of the ring, having an outer diameter of not more than 1.6 times the inner diameter.
The extent to which the shape of the hysteresis loop approaches that of a rectangle may also be expressed by means of the so-called squareness ratio (R,),,,,,,,. For the meaning of this magitude reference is made to the aforesaid literature. For completeness sake a short explanation follows with reference to Fig. 2, which also shows diagrammatically part of a magnetisation curve, relating to a case in which the demagnetisation started before the magnetic saturation had been reached. The magnitude (R is defined as follows:
2,905,641 Patented Sept. 22, 1959 eam) max The quotient B (-1/2Hm) B m) is a function of the maximum field strength H applied, It is found that this quotient has a maximum for a given value of H which differs-mostly little from the coercivity H This maximum value of the quotient is desig nated by the symbol (Rp The measurements of B and B( 1/2Hm) required to determine (R may be performed with the aid of a ballistic galvanometer. The measuring objects are in this case also annular magnet cores having a constant section of the magnetic material throughout the periphery of the ring and an outer diameter of not more than 1.6 times the inner diameter. With the use of ferromagnetic materials having an approximately rectangular hysteresis loop we are mostly concerned with alternating currents of high frequency, so that it is necessary to restrict as far as possible the occurrence of eddy currents. With the use of ferromagnetic alloys this may be obtained to a certain extent by constructing the magnet core from relatively insulated, very thin layers of the ferromagnetic material. However, it is often extremely difiicult to compose cores having an approximately rectangular hysteresis loop from very thin layers. Consequently, with these high frequenoies it is advantageous and with higher frequencies it is even necessary to use magnetically weak, ferric oxide containing materials having spinel structure, since these substances have by nature a very low electrical conductivity.
For the serviceability of the magnet core concerned in magnetic memories and magnetic switches, it is furthermore an essential condition that the coercivity H should be low (preferably not higher than 10 oersteds and preferably even lower than 5 oersteds), since otherwise the electromagnetic losses would be too high.
In accordance with the invention it has now been found that magnet cores having an approximately rectangular hysteresis loop, in which the conditions and/or (R,),,,,,,, 0.6 and H 4 oersteds are fulfilled may be obtained by manufacturing them from a material consisting mainly of at least one compound of the formula:
Example A mixture of copper oxide, CuO, manganese carbonate, MnCO and iron oxide, Fe O is ground in alcohol for five hours and then preheated in air at 900 C. for one hour. Subsequent to cooling the reaction product is ground again in alcohol for two hours, after which the ground product is moulded to form a ring. This ring is heated at about 1350" C. in oxygen for two hours.
By varying the ratio of the quantities of copper oxide and manganese carbonate in the starting material, annular cores of different compositions are obtained. Of some of these magnet cores, the following table indicates the composition, the value of the quotient the value of (Rg and the value of H Composition i (Rog... H,
