Patent number: 6210598Abstract: A Mn—Zn ferrite having large electrical resistance, which can withstand use in high frequency region exceeding 1 MHz, is provided. The Mn—Zn ferrite comprises the following basic components: 44.0 to 50.0 mol % Fe2O3, 4.0 to 26.5 mol % ZnO, 0.1 to 8.0 mol % at least one member selected from the group consisting of TiO2 and SnO2, and the remainder being MnO.

Patent number: 6210597Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1999Date of Patent: April 3, 2001Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Taku Murase, Masatsugu Morita, Naoyoshi Sato

Patent number: 6210596Abstract: A magnetic ceramic composition containing ferrite serving as a primary component and a sintering aid. The composition can be sintered at low temperature. The sintering aid contains about 2-45 mol % Li2O; about 5-40 mol % RO, with R being at least one of Ba, Sr, Ca, and Mg; and about 30-70 mol % (Ti, Si)O2 with SiO2 accounting for at least about 15 mol %. The resultant composition provides inductor elements in which migration of inner conductors is suppressed, and insulation deterioration and increase of direct-current resistance is restrained.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1998Date of Patent: April 3, 2001Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuhiko Takenaka, Tatsuru Takaoka

Patent number: 6200493Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 1999Date of Patent: March 13, 2001Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Taku Murase, Takuya Aoki, Naoyoshi Sato, Isao Kanada

Patent number: 6193904Abstract: Methods of preparing ferrite powders for use in microwave elements such as isolators, circulators, phase shifters and transmission line elements. In one method separate precipitations of metal dicarboxylate salts such as oxalates or malonates are mixed with a ferrous dicarboxylate. This is followed by mixing and calcining of the precipitated dicarboxylates to form the ferrite powder. In another method metal acetates in a solution of concentrated acetic acidare mixed with iron powder to form a solution which is mixed with malonic acid. The resulting mixed metal malonates are processed into a powder which is calcined to obtain the ferrite. To form a lithium ferrite, lithium carbonate is added to prepared powders prior to the calcining step.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 1998Date of Patent: February 27, 2001Assignee: Northrop Grumman CorporationInventors: Karl F. Schoch, Jr., Daryl R. Stough, Theodore R. Vasilow, James D. B. Smith
