  • Patent number: 10872716
    Abstract: In order to provide a soft magnetic flaky powder that is used primarily in a member for an RFID and that has the high real part ?? of a magnetic permeability and the low imaginary part ?? of the magnetic permeability even when having an average particle diameter of 30 ?m or more, and a method for producing the soft magnetic flaky powder, the present invention provides a soft magnetic flaky powder obtained by flattening-treatment of a soft magnetic powder, in which an average particle diameter is more than 30 ?m, a coercive force measured by applying a magnetic field in the longitudinal direction of the flaky powder is in a range of 240 to 640 A/m, a saturation magnetization is 1.0 T or more, and an aspect ratio is 30 or more, and a method for producing the soft magnetic flaky powder.

  • Patent number: 10804014
    Abstract: Provided is a flaky soft magnetic powder composed of an Fe—Si—Al alloy containing Si: 5.5 to 10.5 mass %, Al: 4.5 to 8.0 mass %, and Fe and incidental impurities: balance, wherein the flaky powder exhibits a ratio (D50/TD) of 35 to 92 where D50 represents the average particle size (?m) of the powder and TD represents the tap density (Mg/m3) of the powder, and the flaky powder exhibits a coercive force of 239 to 479 A/m as measured under application of a magnetic field in an in-plane direction of the flaky powder. The flaky soft magnetic powder exhibits superior sheet formability and has high magnetic permeability.

  • Patent number: 10586637
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there are provided: a soft magnetic flattened powder having an average particle diameter, excellent sheet moldability, and a high magnetic permeability; and a method for producing the soft magnetic flattened powder. The soft magnetic flattened powder according to the present invention includes an Fe—Si—Al-based alloy, an average particle diameter D50 being 30 to less than 50 ?m; a coercive force Hc measured by applying a magnetic field in the longitudinal direction of the flattened powder being 176 A/m or less; the ratio of a tap density to a true density being 0.18 or less; a specific surface area BET value being 0.6 m2/g or more; the amount of contained oxygen being 0.6 mass % or less; and the BET value and oxygen value of the soft magnetic powder satisfying expression (1): [oxygen value/BET value?0.50 mg·g/m2 (excluding zero)].

  • Patent number: 10576539
    Abstract: Provided is a flaky soft magnetic powder including an Fe—Si—Al alloy having an oxygen content of 0.6 mass % or less, a manganese content of 0.1 mass % to 1.0 mass %, and the balance incidental impurities. The flaky soft magnetic powder has an average particle size of 43 to 60 ?m and exhibits a coercive force Hc of 106 A/m or less as measured under application of a magnetic field in an in-plane direction of the flaky soft magnetic powder. The ratio of the tap density to the true density of the flaky soft magnetic powder is 0.17 or less. Also provided is a method of producing the flaky soft magnetic powder. The use of the flaky soft magnetic powder can produce a magnetic sheet having particularly high magnetic permeability.
