  • Patent number: 6660179
    Abstract: There is provided a sintered body at least 80% of which is constituted of a Y-type hexagonal ferrite. The sintered body contains, as main components, a cobalt oxide, a copper oxide, an iron oxide and AO (AO is at least one of BaO or SrO) in predetermined amounts in mol %, more preferably contains MO (MO is at least one of NiO, ZnO or MgO) in a predetermined amount in mol % in addition to the above components, and also contains, as additional components, bismuth oxide (Bi2O3), borosilicate glass, borosilicate zinc glass or bismuth glass in predetermined amounts in wt %. Thus, a sintered body which exhibits good magnetic properties and is usable up to a high frequency band ranging from several hundred megahertz to gigahertz, contains as few hetero phases other than a Y-type hexagonal ferrite as possible and can be calcined at a temperature of not higher than 1,000° C., particularly about 900° C., and a high-frequency circuit component using the sintered body can be provided.

  • Patent number: 6259394
    Abstract: An electrically conductive member constituted by at least one member of the group consisting of carbon black, graphite and carbon fiber, a powdered or granulated material of an inorganic hollow body and inorganic reinforcing fiber are bonded to one another by an inorganic adhesive agent to thereby form an electric wave absorber. The electric wave absorber exhibits excellent electric wave absorbing power because of both the electrically conductive member and the powdered or granulated material of the inorganic hollow body which are contained in the electric wave absorber. The electric wave absorber has excellent mechanical strength because of the inorganic reinforcing fiber which is contained in the electric wave absorber. The electric wave absorber exhibits excellent nonflammable characteristic because of both the powdered or granulated material of the inorganic hollow body and the inorganic reinforcing fiber which are contained in the electric wave absorber.

  • Patent number: 6210597
    Abstract: Since the radio wave absorbent of the present invention has the main component of a magnesium-zinc system ferrite material containing 45 to 50 mol % of iron oxide, 7 to 19.7 mol % of magnesium oxide, 24 to 28.5 mol % of zinc oxide, 4 to 16 mol % of copper oxide, and 0.1 to 6 mol % of manganese oxide, a matching thickness is less than 8 mm, and the total weight of the radio wave absorbent for use in the inner wall of a radio wave dark room or the outer wall of a building or the like is remarkably reduced as compared with the radio wave absorbent obtained by sintering the conventional magnesium-zinc system ferrite material. Moreover, since the radio wave absorbent can be obtained by sintering the material at a relatively low sintering temperature of about 950 to 1150° C., the manufacture cost can be reduced relative to the radio wave absorbent obtained by sintering the conventional nickel-zinc system ferrite material.

  • Patent number: 6200493
    Abstract: There is disclosed an MnMgCuZn ferrite material which contains ranges of 46.5 to 50.4 mol % of iron oxide, 10.5 to 22.0 mol % of magnesium oxide, 22.5 to 25.0 mol % of zinc oxide, 6.0 to 16.0 mol % of copper oxide, and 0.1 to 3.5 mol % of manganese oxide. Advantages of an MnMgCuZn ferrite material that resistivity is relatively high and material cost is low are utilized to realize a superior MnMgCuZn ferrite material which is much smaller in magnetic loss than conventional materials of the same series and which has a sufficient saturated magnetic flux density.

  • Patent number: 6146545
    Abstract: A radio wave absorbent which comprises, as a main component, a manganese-nickel-copper-zinc system ferrite comprising 2.0 to 14.5 mol % of nickel oxide, 3.5 to 17.0 mol % of copper oxide, 30.0 to 33.0 mol % of zinc oxide, 0.5 to 10.0 mol % of manganese oxide, and 40.0 to 50.5 mol % of iron oxide. By virtue of the above-mentioned composition, the radio wave absorbent of the present invention is advantageous not only in that the reflectivity in a wide frequency band of from a low frequency is -20 dB or less, but also in that the matching thickness is small, thus enabling lowering of the production cost.
