  • Patent number: 11011305
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a powder magnetic core using a soft magnetic material powder, wherein the method has: a first step of mixing the soft magnetic material powder with a binder, a second step of subjecting a mixture obtained through the first step to pressure forming, and a third step of subjecting a formed body obtained through the second step to heat treatment. The soft magnetic material powder is an Fe—Cr—Al based alloy powder comprising Fe, Cr and Al. An oxide layer is formed on a surface of the soft magnetic material powder by the heat treatment. The oxide layer has a higher ratio by mass of Al to the sum of Fe, Cr and Al than an alloy phase inside the powder.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 24, 2018
    Date of Patent: May 18, 2021
