Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing an iron (Fe) -nickel (Ni) alloy powder.
- the iron-nickel alloy known as permalloy is a soft magnetic material with high magnetic permeability and is used for the magnetic core of magnetic parts such as choke coils and inductors.
- iron-nickel alloy powder is used as a material for a compact core (compact magnetic core) for a magnetic core obtained by compression molding the iron-nickel alloy powder.
- permalloy such as 78 permalloy (Permalloy A) and 45 permalloy are known, and they are used properly according to their magnetic characteristics and applications.
- 78 Permalloy is an iron-nickel alloy having a nickel content of about 78.5% by mass, and is characterized by having a high magnetic permeability.
- 45 Permalloy is an iron-nickel alloy having a nickel content of 45% by mass, and is characterized by having a slightly low magnetic permeability but a high saturation magnetic flux density.
- Losses mainly include hysteresis loss and eddy current loss.
- hysteresis loss In order to suppress the hysteresis loss, it is effective to lower the coercive force of the alloy powder.
- eddy current loss a thin insulating coating is applied to the surface of the alloy powder particles to reduce the eddy current between the particles, to make the alloy powder finer, and to reduce the particle size distribution. Is valid. This is because the presence of coarse particles facilitates the flow of eddy currents and causes loss due to Joule heat.
- the atomizing method is a method in which water or gas is sprayed on a molten metal to quench and solidify the molten metal.
- the gas phase reduction method is a method for hydrogen reducing a metal halide in a gas phase state.
- the dry reduction method is a method of reducing a metal oxide using a reducing agent.
- Patent Document 1 describes that a Ni—Fe-based alloy powder used as a material for a noise filter, a choke coil, an inductor, etc. is manufactured by a vapor phase reduction method (Patent Document 1 [0001] and []. 0014]). Further, Patent Document 1 states that a mixture of NiCl 2 and FeCl 3 is heated and vaporized chloride and hydrogen gas are brought into contact with each other to cause a reduction reaction to produce a fine powder of a Ni—Fe alloy. It is disclosed (Patent Document 1 [0016]). Further, Patent Document 2 describes that Fe—Ni alloy powder used as a material for electronic parts such as choke coils and inductors is produced by reducing the oxides of Fe and Ni in a reducing gas.

Further, even if the agglomerated particles are formed, the agglomerated particles are easily crushed because the bonds between the particles are not strong.

- the blending amount of the nucleating agent may be set to more than 5.0 mol ppm.
- the complexing agent is at least one selected from the group consisting of hydroxycarboxylic acid, a salt of hydroxycarboxylic acid, and a derivative of hydroxycarboxylic acid.
- This complexing agent (hydroxycarboxylic acid or the like) has an effect of homogenizing the reaction in the subsequent crystallization step. That is, the magnetic metal component is dissolved as magnetic metal ions (Fe 2+ , Ni 2+ , etc.) in the reaction solution, but the reaction solution becomes strongly alkaline due to the pH adjuster (NaOH, etc.), so that it dissolves in the reaction solution. The amount of magnetic metal ions is extremely small.

(Characteristics, surface texture of particles) will be even better.
- the amount of the complexing agent used can be suppressed without causing a large difference in the degree of functional expression as the complexing agent, which leads to a reduction in manufacturing cost.

- water-holding hydrazine for example, commercially available industrial grade 60% by mass water-holding hydrazine can be used.
- the blending amount of the reducing agent largely depends on the composition of the iron (Fe) -nickel (Ni) alloy powder, and the larger the content ratio of iron that is difficult to reduce, the larger the amount is required. In addition to the composition of the alloy powder, it is also affected by the temperature of the reaction solution, the blending amount of the complexing agent and the pH adjuster, and the like.
- the blending amount of the reducing agent with respect to the total amount of magnetic metals is preferably 1.8 or more and 7.0 or less in terms of molar ratio. It is more preferably 0 or more and 6.0 or less, and further preferably 2.5 or more and 5.0 or less.
- the blending amount of the reducing agent with respect to the total amount of magnetic metals is 2.5 or more and 9.0 or less in terms of molar ratio. Is preferable, and 3.5 or more and 8.0 or less are more preferable.

Is preferable, and 4.5 or more and 9.0 or less are more preferable.
- the amount of the reducing agent compounded can be significantly reduced as compared with the iron-nickel alloy powder due to the action of the water-soluble cobalt salt described above.
- the action of the water-soluble cobalt salt is remarkable in the production of alloy powder having a large iron content.
- the blending amount of the reducing agent with respect to the above is preferably 1.0 or more and 4.0 or less in terms of molar ratio, and more preferably 1.2 or more and 2.0 or less.

Can be obtained. Further, when the blending amount is not more than the above-mentioned upper limit value, the amount of the reducing agent (hydrazine) used can be suppressed, which leads to a reduction in manufacturing cost.
- the pH adjuster is an alkali hydroxide.
- This pH adjuster (alkali hydroxide) has the effect of strengthening the reduction reaction of hydrazine, which is a reducing agent. That is, the higher the pH of the reaction solution, the stronger the reducing power of hydrazine. Therefore, the use of alkali hydroxide as the pH adjuster promotes the reduction reaction of magnetic metal ions and complex ions in the reaction solution and the accompanying precipitation of crystallization powder.
- the type of alkali hydroxide is not particularly limited. However, in terms of availability and price, it is preferred that the pH regulator comprises at least one selected from sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH).
- the blending amount of the pH adjuster may be adjusted so that the reducing power of the reducing agent (hydrazine) is sufficiently high.
- the pH of the reaction solution at the reaction temperature is preferably 9.5 or more, more preferably 10 or more, still more preferably 10.5 or more. Therefore, the blending amount of alkali hydroxide may be adjusted so that the pH is within this range.
- the starting material may further contain an amine compound.

There is. As a result of the presence of complex ions in the reaction solution, it is considered that the reduction reaction further proceeds.
- the amine compound has an effect of suppressing autolysis of hydrazine, which is a reducing agent. That is, when crystallization powder made of a magnetic metal is deposited in the reaction solution, nickel (Ni) in the magnetic metal acts as a catalyst, and as a result, hydrazine may be decomposed. This is called hydrazine autolysis.
- This decomposition reaction is a reaction in which hydrazine (N 2 H 4 ) is decomposed into nitrogen (N 2 ) and ammonia (NH 3 ) as shown in the following formula (1). When such autolysis occurs, the function of hydrazine as a reducing agent is impaired, which is not preferable.
- the amine compound By adding the amine compound to the compounding solution, it becomes possible to suppress the autolysis of hydrazine.
- the detailed mechanism is unknown, but it is speculated that it may be because the excessive contact between hydrazine and the crystallization powder in the reaction solution is hindered. That is, among the amino groups contained in the amine compound molecule, particularly the primary amino group (-NH 2 ) and the secondary amino group (-NH-) are strongly adsorbed on the surface of the crystallization powder in the reaction solution. It is believed that the amine compound molecule covering and protecting the crystallization powder prevents excessive contact between the hydrazine molecule and the crystallization powder, thereby suppressing the autolysis of hydrazine. Since the autolysis of hydrazine becomes remarkable when the content of nickel in the magnetic metal is large, the amine compound works effectively especially in such a case.

- the concentration and pH of the reducing agent are locally increased, and the nucleation caused by the nucleating agent and the reduction reaction for producing crystallization powder occur rapidly.
- the pH of the mixed solution reaction solution
- the reducing power of the reducing agent is not as strong as at the initial stage, and the nucleation and the reduction reaction proceed slowly.

Therefore, by adding one of them to the other and mixing them, a uniform mixed state can be basically realized, and a uniform reduction reaction can be promoted in the reaction solution.
- the metal salt raw material solution it is preferable to add the metal salt raw material solution to the reducing agent solution and mix them. This is because it is desired that the concentration of the metal salt raw material in the reaction solution be maintained at a predetermined level or higher (30 to 40 g / L for the metal component) from the viewpoint of ensuring the productivity of the crystallization step.

- the amount of the reducing agent used can be reduced as compared with the first aspect and the second aspect.
- Iron ion (or iron hydroxide) is less likely to be reduced than nickel ion (or nickel hydroxide) or cobalt ion (or cobalt hydroxide).

- both of the two solutions for example, the metal salt raw material solution and the reducing agent solution
- both of the two solutions for example, the metal salt raw material solution and the reducing agent solution
- non-uniform nucleation is likely to occur.
- reaction solution when two solutions are added and mixed, heat generation of mixing of the solutions occurs. Therefore, the added and mixed solution (reaction solution) becomes locally high temperature (for example, about 78 ° C.) at the start of mixing, and nuclear generation occurs instantaneously. While nucleation occurs, the two solutions are added and mixed, and this state tends to cause non-uniformity of nucleation.
- the above describes more preferable examples, and does not exclude the case where all of a plurality of solutions such as a metal salt raw material solution and a reducing agent solution are preheated.
- the solution may be heated and its temperature may be set so that the reaction start temperature and the reaction holding temperature fall within the above-mentioned ranges.
- reaction start temperature is excessively low, the nuclear generation becomes more uniform, but the progress of the reduction reaction is slow, and the heating time required for raising the temperature to the reaction holding temperature at which the reduction reaction can be promoted becomes long.
- reaction holding temperature is excessively low, the progress of the reduction reaction is slow and the heating time required for crystallization becomes long. In either case, the cycle time required in the crystallization step becomes long and the productivity decreases.
- the autolysis of hydrazine progresses, a large amount of hydrazine is required, resulting in an increase in manufacturing cost.
- the crystallization powder is recovered from the reaction solution obtained in the crystallization step.
- the crystallization powder may be recovered by a known method. For example, a method of solid-liquid separation of crystallized powder from a reaction solution using a separation device such as a Denver filter, a filter press, a centrifuge, or a decanter can be mentioned. Further, the crystallization powder may be washed at the time of solid-liquid separation or after solid-liquid separation. Cleaning may be performed using a cleaning liquid. High-purity pure water having a conductivity of 1 ⁇ S / cm or less may be used as the cleaning liquid. The crystallization powder after washing may be subjected to a drying treatment.
- the drying treatment is performed using a general-purpose drying device such as an air dryer, a hot air dryer, an inert gas atmosphere dryer, a reducing gas atmosphere dryer, or a vacuum dryer, and the temperature is 40 ° C or higher and 150 ° C or lower, preferably 50. It may be carried out at a temperature of ° C. or higher and 120 ° C. or lower.
- a general-purpose drying device such as an air dryer, a hot air dryer, an inert gas atmosphere dryer, a reducing gas atmosphere dryer, or a vacuum dryer, and the temperature is 40 ° C or higher and 150 ° C or lower, preferably 50. It may be carried out at a temperature of ° C. or higher and 120 ° C. or lower.
- an inert gas atmosphere dryer and a reducing gas atmosphere dryer are used rather than an air dryer or a hot air dryer using the air. It is preferable to use a machine or a vacuum dryer.
- the particle surface of the crystallization powder dried in the closed container of the inert gas atmosphere dryer, the reducing gas atmosphere dryer, or the vacuum dryer is not so much oxidized. Therefore, if the particles are taken out of the dryer into the atmosphere immediately after drying, the surface of the particles is rapidly oxidized, and the heat generated by the oxidation reaction may cause the crystallization powder to burn. This phenomenon is particularly likely to occur with fine crystallization powder (for example, a particle size of 0.1 ⁇ m or less). Therefore, it is desirable to perform a slow oxidation treatment to stabilize the particle surface of the crystallization powder by forming a thin oxide film in advance on the particle surface of the crystallization powder whose surface is not so oxidized after drying.
- the temperature of the crystallization powder heated and dried in the closed container of the inert gas atmosphere dryer, the reducing gas atmosphere dryer, or the vacuum dryer is set to about room temperature to 40 ° C.
- a gas with a low oxygen concentration for example, nitrogen gas or argon gas containing 0.1 to 2% by volume of oxygen
- a method of forming a thin oxide film can be considered. Since the crystallization powder that has been subjected to the slow oxidation treatment is not easily oxidized and is stable, there is no risk of heat generation or combustion even if it is left in the atmosphere.
- a high temperature heat treatment step of applying a high temperature heat treatment to the crystallization powder may be provided.
- the high temperature heat treatment may be performed after the drying treatment.

- High-temperature heat treatment promotes diffusion of dissimilar elements such as Fe and Ni in iron (Fe) -nickel (Ni) alloy particles to improve composition uniformity in the particles, or adjust magnetic properties such as magnetic force. It is possible to do it. If necessary, the above-mentioned slow oxidation treatment may be performed after the high temperature heat treatment.
- a crushing step may be provided in which the crystallization powder recovered in the recovery step or the crystallization powder before the drying treatment is crushed during the recovery process.
- the alloy particles constituting the crystallization powder are deposited in the crystallization step, the alloy particles may come into contact with each other and fuse to form aggregated particles. Therefore, the crystallization powder obtained through the crystallization step may contain coarse agglomerated particles. As described above, coarse agglomerated particles may have eddy currents flowing through them to increase the loss due to Joule heat or hinder the filling property of the powder. Aggregated particles can be crushed by providing a crushing step after the recovery step or during the recovery step.
- the crushing may be performed by using dry crushing such as spiral jet crushing treatment and counter jet mill crushing treatment, wet crushing such as high-pressure fluid collision crushing treatment, and other general-purpose crushing methods. Dry crushing can be applied as it is to the crystallization powder that is the dry powder recovered in the recovery step. Further, if the crystallization powder, which is the dry powder after the recovery step, is made into a slurry, wet crushing can be applied to the slurry. Further, if it is a slurry-like crystallized powder before drying obtained in the middle of the recovery step, wet crushing can be applied as it is. In these crushing methods, agglomerated particles are crushed into pieces by utilizing the collision energy of the particles. Since the surface smoothing progresses due to collision during the crushing process, this effect also helps to improve the filling property of the powder.
- an insulating coating step may be provided after the recovery step.
- the crystallization powder obtained through the recovery step is subjected to an insulating coating treatment to form an insulating coating layer made of a highly resistant metal oxide on the particle surface of the crystallization powder, thereby insulating the particles.
- Improve sex Similar to the increase in loss due to eddy current in coarse agglomerated particles, in a dust core obtained by compression molding iron-nickel alloy powder, the eddy current flowing between the particles may increase due to contact between the alloy particles.
- By forming the insulating coat layer it becomes possible to suppress the generation of eddy current due to the contact between the alloy particles.

That is, those having high compatibility with water and a relatively low boiling point (about 60 ° C to 90 ° C) are preferable. In addition, those that are highly safe, easy to handle, easy to obtain, and inexpensive are preferable. Considering these, a modified alcohol containing ethyl alcohol as a main component is preferable.
- the hydrolysis reaction and dehydration-condensation polymerization reaction of the metal alkoxide in the insulation coating treatment will be described using a reaction formula when a silicon alkoxide (Si (OR) 4 , R: alkyl group) is used as the metal alkoxide.
- the silicon atom (Si) is a pronuclear hydroxy ion (OH ⁇ ) as shown in the following equation (7).
- a base catalyst such as ammonia (NH 3 )
- the silicon atom (Si) is a pronuclear hydroxy ion (OH ⁇ ) as shown in the following equation (7).

- all four alkoxy groups (—OR) are hydrolyzed to silanol groups (Si—OH).
- the next hydrolysis does not occur immediately, and the alkoxy group ( ⁇ OR) of another unhydrolyzed silicon alkoxide molecule is more susceptible to hydrolysis.

However, it is preferable to use a drying device such as an inert gas atmosphere dryer, a reducing gas atmosphere dryer, or a vacuum dryer, and the temperature may be 40 ° C. or higher and 150 ° C. or lower. The higher the drying temperature, the more the dehydration polycondensation of the metal alkoxide hydrolyzed polymer constituting the insulating coat layer progresses, and the metal oxide becomes harder, denser and more insulating.

The composition tends to be non-uniform within the particles.
- the non-uniform composition in the particles affects the characteristics of the alloy powder, but it does not have a large effect on the magnetic characteristics (saturation magnetic flux density, coercive force, etc.).
- the saturated magnetic flux density shows a positive correlation with the iron content (the higher the iron content, the higher the saturated magnetic flux density), so the composition becomes non-uniform in the particles and iron.
- the holding power does not change significantly depending on the degree of non-uniformity of the composition that occurs in the particles.
- the non-uniform composition in the particles may affect the chemical and physical characteristics such as oxidation resistance and coefficient of thermal expansion.

本実施形態の鉄(Fe)-ニッケル(Ni)系合金粉の製造方法は、以下の工程;磁性金属源、核剤、錯化剤、還元剤、及びpH調整剤を含む出発原料を準備する準備工程、この出発原料と水とを含む反応液を調製し、この反応液中で、前記磁性金属を含む晶析粉を還元反応により晶析させる晶析工程、及び得られた反応液から晶析粉を回収する回収工程、を備える。ここで鉄(Fe)-ニッケル(Ni)系合金粉は少なくとも鉄(Fe)及びニッケル(Ni)を磁性金属として含む。また磁性金属源は水溶性鉄塩及び水溶性ニッケル塩を含む。核剤はニッケルよりも貴な金属の水溶性塩である。錯化剤はヒドロキシカルボン酸、ヒドロキシカルボン酸の塩、及びヒドロキシカルボン酸の誘導体からなる群から選択される少なくとも一種である。還元剤はヒドラジン(N2H4)である。
準備工程では、磁性金属源、核剤、錯化剤、還元剤、及びpH調整剤を出発原料として準備する。磁性金属源は鉄とニッケルの原料であるが、必要に応じてコバルト原料を含んでもよい。また出発原料にアミン化合物が含まれてもよい。各原料について、以下に説明する。
磁性金属源は磁性金属の原料であり、少なくとも水溶性鉄塩及び水溶性ニッケル塩を含む。鉄塩は、合金粉に含まれる鉄成分の原料(鉄源)であり、易水溶性の鉄塩である限り、特に限定されない。鉄塩として、2価及び/又は3価の鉄イオンを含む塩化鉄、硫酸鉄、硝酸鉄、又はこれらの混合物が挙げられる。水溶性鉄塩は、好適には塩化第一鉄(FeCl2)、硫酸第一鉄(FeSO4)、及び硝酸第一鉄(Fe(NO3)2)からなる群から選ばれる少なくとも一種である。ニッケル塩は、合金粉に含まれるニッケル成分の原料(ニッケル源)であり、易水溶性のニッケル塩である限り、特に限定されない。水溶性ニッケル塩は、好適には塩化ニッケル(NiCl2)、硫酸ニッケル(NiSO4)、及び硝酸ニッケル(Ni(NO3)2)からなる群から選ばれる少なくとも一種である、特に好適には塩化ニッケル(NiCl2)、及び硫酸ニッケル(NiSO4)からなる群から選ばれる少なくとも一種である。
核剤はニッケルよりも貴な金属の水溶性塩である。この核剤(ニッケルよりも貴な金属の水溶性塩)は、後続する晶析工程で反応液中において優先的に還元されて初期核を生成し、その初期核が晶析粉の析出を促す作用がある。ここでニッケルよりも貴な金属とは、水溶液中で、標準電位系列における電位がニッケルよりも高い金属のことである。またニッケルよりも貴な金属は、ニッケルよりもイオン化傾向が小さい金属ということもできる。このような金属として、スズ(Sn)、鉛(Pb)、アンチモン(Sb)、ビスマス(Bi)、銅(Cu)、銀(Ag)、パラジウム(Pd)、イリジウム(Ir)、白金(Pt)、及び金(Au)が挙げられる。
錯化剤は、ヒドロキシカルボン酸、ヒドロキシカルボン酸の塩、及びヒドロキシカルボン酸の誘導体からなる群から選択される少なくとも一種である。この錯化剤(ヒドロキシカルボン酸等)は、後続する晶析工程で反応の均一化を図る作用がある。すなわち磁性金属成分は反応液中では磁性金属イオン(Fe2+、Ni2+等)として溶解しているが、pH調整剤(NaOH等)により反応液が強アルカリ性となるため、反応液中で溶解する磁性金属イオン量は極めて微量である。ところが錯化剤が存在すると、磁性金属成分は、錯イオン(Fe錯イオン、Ni錯イオン等)として多く溶解できるようになる。このような錯イオンの存在により、還元反応速度が大きくなるとともに、磁性金属成分の局所的偏在が抑制され、反応系の均一化が可能になる。また錯化剤は、反応液中での複数の磁性金属イオンの錯安定性バランスを変化させる作用がある。そのため、錯化剤が存在すると、磁性金属の還元反応が変化し、核生成速度と粒成長速度のバランスが変化する。本実施形態で特定される錯化剤(ヒドロキシカルボン酸等)を用いることで、上述した作用が複合的に働くとともに、反応が好ましい方向に進み、その結果、得られる合金粉の粉体特性(粒子径、粒度分布、球状性、粒子の表面性状)が向上する。また粉体特性が向上した合金粉は、充填性に優れており、圧粉コア用原料として好適である。この点、本実施形態の錯化剤(ヒドロキシカルボン酸等)は、還元反応促進剤、球状化促進剤、及び表面平滑剤としての機能を有するということができる。好適な錯化剤は、酒石酸((CH(OH)COOH)2)及びクエン酸(C(OH)(CH2COOH)2COOH)から選ばれる少なくとも一種のヒドロキシカルボン酸を含む。
還元剤は、ヒドラジン(N2H4、分子量:32.05)である。この還元剤(ヒドラジン)は、後続する晶析工程で、反応液中の磁性金属のイオン及び錯イオンを還元する作用がある。ヒドラジンは、還元力が強いとともに、還元反応に伴う副生成物が反応液中に生成しないという利点がある。また不純物の少ない高純度のヒドラジンを入手することは容易である。
pH調整剤は、水酸化アルカリである。このpH調整剤(水酸化アルカリ)は、還元剤たるヒドラジンの還元反応を強くする作用がある。すなわちヒドラジンは反応液のpHが高いほど、還元力が強くなる。したがってpH調整剤として水酸化アルカリを用いることで、反応液中磁性金属イオン及び錯イオンの還元反応、及びそれに伴う晶析粉の析出が促される。水酸化アルカリの種類は特に限定されない。しかしながら、入手の容易さ及び価格の点で、pH調整剤が、水酸化ナトリウム(NaOH)及び水酸化カリウム(KOH)から選ばれる少なくとも一種を含むことが好適である。
必要に応じて、出発原料は、アミン化合物をさらに含んでもよい。このアミン化合物は、2個以上の第1級アミノ基(-NH2)、1個の第1級アミノ基(-NH2)及び1個以上の第2級アミノ基(-NH-)、又は2個以上の第2級アミノ基(-NH-)を分子内に含有する。
晶析工程では、準備した出発原料と水とを含む反応液を調製し、この反応液中で、前記磁性金属を含む晶析粉を還元反応により晶析させる。反応液の調製と晶析粉の晶析について、以下にそれぞれ説明する。なお実際の製造では、ほとんどの場合には、反応液を調製すると同時に晶析反応が始まるものの、反応液を調製する途中にわずかではあっても晶析反応が始まる可能性がある。なお、ここで言う晶析反応は、晶析過程で起きる反応のことである。すなわち、ヒドラジンによる還元反応(後述の(6)式など)を主とするものの、それ以外にもヒドラジンの自己分解反応(前述の(1)式)などを含む。したがって、還元反応よりも広い意味合いで晶析反応なる用語を用いている。
まず出発原料である磁性金属源、核剤、錯化剤、還元剤、pH調整剤、及び必要に応じてアミン化合物を、必要に応じて水に溶解させた後に混合して、反応液を調製することができる。この反応液を調製する際に用いられる水として、最終的に得られる合金粉の不純物量低減を図るために、高純度なものを用いることが好ましい。高純度な水として、導電率が1μS/cm以下の純水や、導電率が0.06μS/cm以下の超純水を用いることが可能であり、なかでも、安価で入手が容易な純水を用いることが好ましい。
反応液を調製すると、この反応液中で還元反応が起こる。すなわちpH調整剤(水酸化アルカリ)及び核剤(ニッケルよりも貴な金属の塩)の共存下で磁性金属源のイオンや錯イオンが還元剤(ヒドラジン)により還元され、それにより磁性金属を含む晶析粉が形成される。
回収工程では、晶析工程で得られた反応液から晶析粉を回収する。晶析粉の回収は公知の手法で行えばよい。例えば、デンバーろ過器、フィルタープレス、遠心分離機、又はデカンターなどの分離装置を用いて反応液から晶析粉を固液分離する手法が挙げられる。また固液分離の際、または固液分離後に晶析粉を洗浄してもよい。洗浄は、洗浄液を用いて行えばよい。洗浄液として導電率1μS/cm以下の高純度純水などを用いればよい。洗浄後の晶析粉に乾燥処理を施してもよい。乾燥処理は、大気乾燥機、熱風乾燥機、不活性ガス雰囲気乾燥機、還元性ガス雰囲気乾燥機、または真空乾燥機などの汎用の乾燥装置を用いて、40℃以上150℃以下、好ましくは50℃以上120℃以下の温度で行えばよい。ただし、乾燥処理中の晶析粉の過剰な酸化による磁気特性悪化を防止する観点からすると、大気乾燥機や大気を用いた熱風乾燥機よりも、不活性ガス雰囲気乾燥機、還元性ガス雰囲気乾燥機、または真空乾燥機を用いる方が好ましい。
回収工程後、あるいは回収工程の途中で、晶析粉に高温熱処理を施す高温熱処理工程を設けてもよい。回収工程後に高温熱処理を施す場合には、乾燥処理後に高温熱処理を行えばよい。また回収工程の途中で高温熱処理を施す場合には、乾燥処理に代えて高温熱処理を行えばよい。高温熱処理は、不活性雰囲気、還元性雰囲気、または真空雰囲気中で150℃超400℃以下、好ましくは200℃以上350℃以下の温度で行えばよい。高温熱処理により、鉄(Fe)-ニッケル(Ni)系合金粒子内でFeとNiなどの異種元素の拡散が促進されて粒子内の組成均一性を向上させたり、あるいは磁力などの磁気特性を調製したりすることが可能である。なお、必要に応じて、高温熱処理後に前述した徐酸化処理を行ってもよい。
必要に応じて、回収工程で回収した晶析粉、または回収途中で乾燥処理前の晶析粉に解砕処理を施す解砕工程を設けてもよい。晶析工程で晶析粉を構成する合金粒子が析出する際に、合金粒子同士が接触して融着し、凝集粒子を形成することがある。したがって晶析工程を経て得られた晶析粉には粗大な凝集粒子が含まれることがある。先述したとおり、粗大な凝集粒子は、その中を渦電流が流れてジュール熱による損失を増大させたり、あるいは粉の充填性を阻害したりすることがある。回収工程後や回収工程途中に解砕工程を設けることで、凝集粒子を解砕することできる。解砕は、スパイラルジェット解砕処理、カウンタージェットミル解砕処理などの乾式解砕や、高圧流体衝突解砕処理などの湿式解砕、その他の汎用の解砕方法を用いて行えばよい。回収工程で回収した乾粉たる晶析粉には、乾式解砕をそのまま適用できる。また回収工程後の乾粉たる晶析粉をスラリー状にすれば、これに湿式解砕を適用できる。さらに回収工程途中で得られた乾燥前のスラリー状晶析粉であれば、湿式解砕をそのまま適用できる。これらの解砕方法では、粒子の衝突エネルギーを活用して凝集粒子をバラバラに解砕する。解砕過程で衝突により表面平滑化も進むため、この効果も粉の充填性向上に役立つ。
必要に応じて、回収工程後に絶縁コート工程を設けてもよい。絶縁コート工程では、回収工程を経て得られた晶析粉に絶縁コート処理を施して晶析粉の粒子表面に高抵抗な金属酸化物からなる絶縁コート層を形成し、それにより粒子間の絶縁性を向上させる。粗大凝集粒子における渦電流による損失増大と同様に、鉄-ニッケル系合金粉を圧縮成形して得られる圧粉コアでは、合金粒子同士の接触により粒子間を流れる渦電流が大きくなる恐れがある。絶縁コート層を形成することで、合金粒子同士の接触による渦電流発生を抑えることが可能になる。
本実施形態の鉄(Fe)-ニッケル(Ni)系合金粉は、粒度分布が小さい。またこの合金粉の平均粒径を自在に制御することができる。そのため微細化が容易であるとともに、粒度分布を小さくすることが可能である。その上、球状であり表面平滑性が高く、充填性に優れている。このような利点を有する本実施形態の合金粉は、ノイズフィルタ、チョークコイル、インダクタ、及び電波吸収体などの様々な電子部品の用途に用いることができ、特にチョークコイルやインダクタのための圧粉コアの材料として好適である。

(a)金属塩原料溶液の調製
塩化第一鉄4水和物(水溶性鉄塩)、塩化ニッケル6水和物(水溶性ニッケル塩)、塩化パラジウム(II)アンモニウム(核剤)、クエン酸三ナトリウム2水和物(錯化剤)及び水を含む金属塩原料溶液を調製した。この際、得られた金属塩原料溶液において、磁性金属(Fe及びNi)合計量に対するパラジウム(Pd)量が0.037質量ppm(0.02モルppm)になるように秤量を行った。また磁性金属(Fe及びNi)合計量に対するクエン酸三ナトリウム量がモル比で0.362(36.2モル%)になるように秤量を行った。具体的には、塩化第一鉄4水和物:173.60g、塩化ニッケル6水和物:207.55g、塩化パラジウム(II)アンモニウム:9.93μg、及びクエン酸三ナトリウム2水和物:185.9gを純水:1200mLに溶解して金属塩原料溶液を調製した。
水酸化ナトリウム(pH調整剤)、ヒドラジン(還元剤)及び水を含む還元剤溶液を調製した。この際、後続する晶析工程で調製する反応液において、磁性金属(Fe及びNi)合計量に対するヒドラジン量がモル比で4.85になるように秤量を行った。また磁性金属(Fe及びNi)合計量に対する水酸化ナトリウム量がモル比で4.96になるように秤量を行った。具体的には、水酸化ナトリウム:346gを純水:850mLに溶解して水酸化ナトリウム溶液を調製し、この水酸化ナトリウム溶液に60質量%抱水ヒドラジン:707gを添加及び混合して還元剤溶液を調製した。

晶析工程で得られたスラリー状の反応液に、ろ過洗浄及び固液分離処理を施して、ケーキ状の鉄-ニッケル晶析粉を回収した。ろ過洗浄は、導電率が1μS/cmの純水を用いて、スラリーからろ過したろ液の導電率が10μS/cm以下になるまで行った。回収したケーキ状の晶析粉を50℃に設定した真空乾燥機中で乾燥した。そして、乾燥した晶析粉を真空中で35℃まで冷却した後、酸素1.0体積%を含む窒素ガスを供給して、晶析粉に徐酸化処理を施した。このようにして鉄-ニッケル合金粉を得た。得られた合金粉は、表面平滑な球状粒子で構成されていた。粒度分布はシャープであり、平均粒径は0.41μmであった。

樹脂中に包埋された合金粉を集束イオンビーム(FIB:Focused Ion Beam)装置を用いて厚さ約100nmに薄膜化加工し、その加工試料において合金粒子断面を走査型透過電子顕微鏡(STEM;日立ハイテクノロジーズ社製、HD-2300A)で観察した。観察は、倍率:100000~200000倍の条件で行った。そして、合金粒子内の組成分布を、エネルギー分散型X線分析(EDS:Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy)装置による線分析により求めた。この際、組成は、測定元素の特性X線(K線)の検出カウント数から算出した。
X線回折(XRD)法で合金粉を分析し、(111)面のX線回折ピークの半価幅からScherrerの式に基づき結晶子径を評価した。XRD測定条件は、組成分析と同様に行った。結晶子径は結晶化の程度を表し、結晶子径が大きいほど結晶性が高いことを意味する。
合金粉の圧粉体密度を評価した。具体的には、約0.3gの合金粉を金型の円柱状穴部(内径5mm)に充填した。次いで、プレス機を用いて100MPaの圧力で、直径5mm、高さ3~4mmのペレット形状に成形した。得られたペレットの質量と高さを室温で測定して、圧粉体密度を算出した。
合金粉の圧粉体抵抗率を粉体抵抗測定システム(三菱ケミカルアナリテック製、MCP-PD51)を用いて測定し、導電性(絶縁性)を評価した。具体的には、約4gの合金粉を装置の円柱状試料室内に充填し、装置に付帯しているプレス機を用いて64MPaの圧力を印可して、圧粉体抵抗率(単位:Ω・cm)を求めた。
振動試料型磁力計(VSM)を用いた測定を行い、合金粉の磁気特性(飽和磁束密度(T:テスラ)、保磁力(A/m))を評価した。測定で得られたB-H曲線(磁気ヒステリシス曲線)から飽和磁束密度及び保磁力の値を算出した。なお比較例2で得られた合金粉は、その形状がいびつでインダクタ等の素子に適用できないため、磁気特性の測定を行わなかった。
実施例1~15及び比較例1~3について得られた評価結果を表2にまとめて示す。また実施例1、2、10、13及び14で得られた合金粉のそれぞれのSEM像を図8、図9、図13、図15及び図16に示し、実施例6で得られた合金粉のSEM像を図10(a)及び(b)に示す。ここで図10(a)はスパイラルジェット解砕処理前の合金粉のSEM像であり、図10(b)はスパイラルジェット解砕処理後の合金粉のSEM像である。また、実施例8及び実施例9で得られた合金粉の粒子断面のSTEM像及びEDS線分析結果をそれぞれ図11(a)、(b)及び図12に示す。ここで図11(a)は高温熱処理前の合金粉の粒子断面のSTEM像及びEDS線分析結果であり、図11(b)は高温熱処理後の合金粉の粒子断面のSTEM像及びEDS線分析結果である。実施例12で得られた合金粉のSEM像を図14(a)及び(b)に示す。ここで図14(a)は絶縁コート処理前の合金粉のSEM像であり、図14(b)は絶縁コート処理後の合金粉のSEM像である。さらに比較例1~3で得られたそれぞれの合金粉のSEM像を図17~図19に示す。
