Preparation of Fe-Si-B-Nb amorphous powder cores with excellent high-frequency magnetic properties

Abstract

FeSiBNb amorphous powder cores were prepared with the amorphous powder by gas atomization and subsequent hot pressing of resulting powder after creating oxide layers on the amorphous powder. Fully amorphous FeSiBNb powders with good soft magnetic properties were successfully obtained in the particle size range below 100 mm. FeSiBNb amorphous powder cores exhibit stable permeability up to 10 MHz, showing excellent high-frequency characteristics. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
