Abstract:

Within the public founded project “NanoKompakt”, the powder of initial amorphous soft magnetic alloy Vitroperm (Fe73.6Si15.5B6.9Cu1.0Nb3.0) is compacted to nanocrystalline components by FAST/SPS. The aim is to manufacture industrially relevant components such as E-cores that cannot be produced from wounded ribbon. The increased mechanical stability allows for omitting a polymer case, which increases the possible application temperature. Firstly, small toroidal cores were compacted. A high permeability of 20 000 and a low coercivity of 3 A/m are achieved. Based on the thermal and electrical properties of the compacted toroidal cores, a larger pressing tool is also designed and optimized by simulation. The simulation is necessary because the temperature range for compaction is only a few Kelvin wide and the precipitation of hard magnetic phases must be prevented. In the second step, E-cores are cut from compacted slices and analyzed.
