Abstract: Provided is a compressed powder core that can suppress a decrease in the inductance even when a high magnetic field (of greater than or equal to 40 kA/m) is applied to the compressed powder core while suppressing an iron loss and a decrease in the strength of the compressed powder core. The compressed powder core 1A has soft magnetic particles 11A and aluminum nitride layers 12A formed on the surface layers of the respective soft magnetic particles 11A. The compressed powder core 1A has a ratio of the first differential relative permeability ??L to the second differential relative permeability ??H satisfying a relationship of ??L/??H?6, and has a magnetic flux density of greater than or equal to 1.4 T when a magnetic field of 60 kA/m is applied. The soft magnetic particles of the compressed powder core 1A contain Si in the range of 1.0 to 3.

Abstract: A powder magnetic core having excellent specific resistance or strength. The powder magnetic core has soft magnetic particles, first coating layers that coat the surfaces of the soft magnetic particles and include aluminum nitride, and second coating layers that coat at least a part of the surfaces of the first coating layers and include a low-melting-point glass having a softening point lower than an annealing temperature for the soft magnetic particles. The first coating layers including aluminum nitride are excellent in the wettability to the low-melting-point glass which constitutes the second coating layers and suppress diffusion of constitutional elements between the soft magnetic particles and the low-melting-point glass of the second coating layers. The powder magnetic core can stably exhibit a higher specific resistance and higher strength than the prior art owing to such a synergistic action of the first coating layers and second coating layers.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a pressed powder magnetic core disclosed herein may include: mixing soft magnetic metal particles, low-melting-point glass particles and lubricant and heating a mixture of the soft magnetic metal particles, the low-melting-point glass particles and the lubricant at a temperature that is higher than a melting point of the lubricant and is lower than a softening point of the low-melting-point glass particles so as to obtain powder of coated metal particles in which surfaces of the soft magnetic metal particles are coated by the lubricant and the low-melting-point glass particles are distributed in coating layers of the lubricant; filling a mold with the powder; press-molding the powder in the mold; and annealing the press-molded powder. In the pressed powder magnetic core, an amount of the low-melting-point glass particles may be 0.1 wt % to 5.0 wt % relative to an amount of the soft magnetic metal particles.

The first coating layer is made of aluminum oxide with which at least a part of surfaces of the soft magnetic particles are coated. The second coating layer is made of aluminum nitride with which at least a part of a surface of the first coating layer is coated. The third coating layer is made of low-melting-point glass with which at least a part of a surface of the second coating layer is coated. The low-melting-point glass has a softening point lower than an annealing temperature of the soft magnetic particles.
