  • Patent number: 11352677
    Abstract: A method for producing a soft magnetic material having both high saturation magnetization and low coercive force, including: preparing an alloy having a composition represented by Compositional Formula 1 or 2 and having an amorphous phase, and heating the alloy at a rate of temperature rise of 10° C./sec or more and holding for 0 to 80 seconds at a temperature equal to or higher than the crystallization starting temperature and lower than the temperature at which Fe—B compounds start to form wherein, Compositional Formula 1 is Fe100-x-yBxMy, M represents at least one element selected from Nb, Mo, Ta, W, Ni, Co and Sn, and x and y are in atomic percent (at %) and satisfy the relational expressions of 10?x?16 and 0?y?8, and Compositional Formula 2 is Fe100-a-b-cBaCubM?c, M? represents at least one element selected from Nb, Mo, Ta, W, Ni and Co, and a, b and c are in atomic percent (at %) and satisfy the relational expressions 10?a?16, 0<b?2 and 0?c?8.

  • Patent number: 11078561
    Abstract: There are provided a soft magnetic material having a high saturation magnetization and a low coercive force and excellent in thermal endurance, and a method for producing the same. The present disclosure relates to a soft magnetic material represented by the following composition formula: Fe100-x-yBxNiy, wherein x satisfies 10?x?16 in at %, and y satisfies 0<y?4 in at %, having a coercive force of 20 A/m or less, and having a coercive force characteristic decrease rate after a thermal endurance test {[(coercive force after thermal endurance test?coercive force before thermal endurance test)/coercive force before thermal endurance test]×100 (%)} of 20% or less, wherein the thermal endurance test is carried out by allowing the soft magnetic material to stand in a constant temperature oven at 170° C. in the air for 100 h, and a method for producing the same.

  • Patent number: 10825592
    Abstract: It is an object of the present disclosure to produce a soft magnetic material having high saturation magnetization by heat-treating a Fe-based amorphous alloy, without needing the control of the atmosphere. The present disclosure provides a method for producing a soft magnetic material, including heat treating a Fe-based amorphous alloy in a state in which the alloy is wrapped with a sheet comprising one or more substances having a standard Gibbs energy of formation of an oxide thereof that is larger in a negative direction than Fe, to form a crystal phase.

  • Publication number: 20190181731
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to provide a production method for a stator in which a breakage of the stator core can be prevented when coils are mounted thereon. The present embodiment is a production method for a stator that includes a stator core having a tooth and includes a coil wound around the tooth. The method includes: a step of preparing a stacked body which has the tooth and in which a plurality of plate-like soft magnetic materials each including an amorphous structure are stacked; a step of mounting the coil on the tooth; and a step of, after the coil is mounted, heating the stacked body to a temperature equal to or higher than a crystallization temperature of the soft magnetic materials.
