  • Patent number: 9754710
    Abstract: The compact for a magnetic core is manufactured by filling a soft magnetic powder in the die hole, pressing it to form a compact at a density ratio of the soft magnetic powder being 91% or more, and extruding it from the die hole. Before filling the soft magnetic powder to the die hole, a lubricating coating containing lubricating oil and molybdenum disulfide particles is formed on the inner surface of the die hole. It is more effective when further containing insulating ceramic particles. On the extrusion-sliding surface, the compact has a surface layer of the structure that molybdenum disulfide particles and the insulating ceramic particles are interposed between the soft magnetic powder particles, and insulation of soft magnetic powder particles in the surface layer is not destroyed by extrusion. This provides a powder magnetic core suitable for high frequency application.

  • Patent number: 8445105
    Abstract: An iron-based magnetic powder for dust cores has layers of phosphoric acid-based film and silicone resin film sequentially formed on the surface thereof. The phosphoric acid-based film contains at least one element selected from the group consisting of Co, Na, S, Si, and W. The iron-based powder effectively keeps insulation among iron powder particles, excels in mechanical strength even though the amount of insulating material is reduced due to achieve high-density forming, and exhibits good thermal stability necessary for electrical insulating properties even after high-temperature heat treatment.
