Abstract:

FeSiBNbCu amorphous powder has been fabricated via gas atomization. Two size fractions with 7:1 average particle size ratio have been mixed in a proportion of 73:27 vol.% respectively to improve particle packing. As a result, compact density has been increased up to ~10%, thus increasing magnetic saturation in the same proportion. The magnetic permeability of the compacts pressed from the mix increased a 70% compared with the compacts from one-size fraction powders. The power losses of mixed particle compacts consolidated at 800 MPa without heat treatment were 692 mW/cm3 (at 100 kHz and B=50 mT), whereas they were 548 mW/cm3 (at 100 kHz and B=50 mT) in the case of the same powder annealed at 535 ºC for 30 min.
