  • Publication number: 20230207179
    Abstract: In a magnetic core including a core assembly having a structure that multiple thin strip blocks are arranged, the thin strip blocks being formed of multiple laminates of nanocrystalline thin strips made of a nanocrystal-containing alloy material, the thin strip block includes a fixedly joined portion in which the nanocrystalline thin strips adjacent to each other in a lamination direction are fixedly joined together. The fixedly joined portion may include side surfaces of the nanocrystalline thin strips and may be a laser welded portion.

  • Publication number: 20230208213
    Abstract: In a magnetic core including a laminated core in which multiple core thin strips are laminated, the magnetic core includes a cutting mark region formed by cutting tie sticks 212, connected to the core thin strips 511, in a lamination direction of the core thin strips 511, and the cutting mark region 51C is positioned on an inner side than outer peripheries of the core thin strips 511. The core thin strip 511 may include a portion made of a nanocrystal-containing alloy material that is obtained by nano-crystallizing an amorphous alloy material with heat treatment.

  • Publication number: 20230208219
    Abstract: In a magnetic core including a core assembly formed of multiple arranged thin strip blocks, each of the thin strip blocks has a structure that multiple nanocrystalline thin strips having a bcc-Fe phase as a main phase are laminated one above another, and an iron loss in the nanocrystalline thin strip positioned at a center of the thin strip block in a thickness direction thereof is lower than an iron loss in the nanocrystalline thin strip positioned in a surface layer of the thin strip block. The nanocrystalline thin strip may be a heat-treated product of an amorphous thin strip made of an amorphous alloy material, and the thin strip block may include a fixedly joined portion in which the nanocrystalline thin strips adjacent to each other in a lamination direction are fixedly joined together.

  • Publication number: 20230081183
    Abstract: A dust core contains a powder of a crystalline magnetic material powder and a powder of an amorphous magnetic material. The sum of the content of the crystalline magnetic material powder and the content of the amorphous magnetic material powder is 83 mass percent or more. The mass ratio of the content of the crystalline magnetic material powder to the sum of the content of the crystalline magnetic material powder and the content of the amorphous magnetic material powder is 20 mass percent or less. The median diameter D50a of the amorphous magnetic material powder is greater than or equal to the median diameter D50c of the crystalline magnetic material powder. A 10% cumulative diameter D10a in a volume-based cumulative particle size distribution of the amorphous magnetic material powder is 9.5 ?m or less.
