Abstract: A method for manufacturing a powder for a magnetic core including at least a process of performing a siliconizing treatment on a surface of an iron powder containing elemental carbon. In the process of siliconizing treatment, a powder containing at least a silicon dioxide is brought into contact with the surface of the iron powder, elemental silicon is detached from the silicon dioxide by heating the powder of silicon dioxide, and the siliconizing treatment is performed by causing the detached elemental silicon to permeate and diffuse into a surface layer of the iron powder. The invention provides a method for manufacturing a powder for a magnetic core, by which loss reduction is achieved.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a dust core having excellent insulating properties, high strength, and high density (high magnetic flux density), a method for producing the same, and an electric motor or reactor having a core member composed of the dust core are provided. Therefore, a method for producing a dust core is provided, such method comprising the following steps: a 1st step of preparing a resin powder 2 and a magnetic powder 1 comprising soft magnetic metal powder (pure iron powder 11) particles each having an insulating film (silica film 12) preliminarily formed on the surface thereof; a 2nd step of obtaining a powder mixture by mixing the magnetic powder 1 and the resin powder 2; and a 3rd step of allowing the resin powder 2 to gel in an atmosphere at a certain temperature, press-molding the powder mixture so as to obtain a press molded body 10, and annealing the press molded body 10 so as to produce a dust core 20.

Abstract: A process for producing a magnetic powder which is sufficiently reduced in core losses such as iron loss and hysteresis loss and has sufficient strength; and a process for producing a dust core. The process for magnetic powder production comprises using a magnetic-material powder produced by water atomization as a raw powder and subjecting the powder to spheroidizing in which a mechanical impact is applied to the powder to spheroidize the powder particles. After the spheroidizing, the powder is subjected to a grain enlarging treatment in which the powder is annealed at a temperature not lower than the austenite transformation point. The process for dust core production comprises compacting the magnetic powder thus produced.

Abstract: A disk controller itself performs the serial inspection process in the following way. It divides a track into a current track group directly available for an external computer and a spare track group available for the disk controller independently of the external computer before registering the groups in it. It also automatically selects a track available in the spare track group as an alternative track. It further copies to the alternative track data recorded on a current track to be inspected. In turn, the disk controller writes a test pattern on the current track. With this, it detects a defect position on a surface of a recording medium of the current track. It also registers the defect position detected on the surface of the recording medium to the current track. It further copies the data having been copied on the alternative track to the current track.
