Patent number: 8241518Abstract: A soft magnetic material includes a plurality of composite magnetic particles including a metal magnetic particle and an insulating film surrounding a surface of the metal magnetic particle. The insulating film also contains a phosphate. The soft magnetic material further includes an aromatic polyetherketone resin and a metallic soap and/or an inorganic lubricant having a hexagonal crystal structure. The metallic soap and the inorganic lubricant are particles with an average particle size of not more than 2.0 ?m.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2007Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignees: Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., Denso Corporation, Sumitomo Electric Sintered Alloy, Ltd.Inventors: Naoto Igarashi, Takao Nishioka, Yoshiyuki Shimada, Tsuyoshi Akao

Patent number: 7541906Abstract: A sintered plunger is used for electromagnetic actuators. The sintered member includes: an outer member composed of a soft magnetic material and having an inner hole formed therein, and a shaft having an end portion which is fitted into the outer member. The shaft is composed of a ferromagnetic steel, the outer member peripheral is composed of a sintered member, and the shaft and the outer member are integrally bonded by sintering. As a result, the overall sintered plunger can have good magnetic properties, a good magnetic attraction, a good wear resistance, and a good fatigue strength. Electromagnetic actuators having high responsiveness required in recent years can be produced.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2004Date of Patent: June 2, 2009Assignees: Hitachi Powdered Metals Co., Ltd., Denso CorporationInventors: Kazuo Asaka, Tsuyoshi Akao, Aya Hamano
