Effect of annealing temperature on magnetic properties of Fe-Si/BN soft magnetic composites with layered structure
摘要
Fe-Si/BN soft magnetic composites (SMCs) with layered structure were prepared with flaky Fe-Si/BN powders through low-speed ball milling, molding, and annealing. Effect of annealing temperature on the microstructure and magnetic properties of the layered Fe-Si/BN SMCs was studied. The results showed that structure of the Fe-Si/BN SMCs exhibited good thermal stability. When the annealing temperature increased from 500 to 800 °C, the density of the Fe-Si/BN SMCs gradually increased, leading to gradually decreased resistivity and increased dynamic loss. In addition, the increase in annealing temperature is beneficial for eliminating residual stresses within the Fe-Si/BN SMCs, resulting in decreased hysteresis loss and significantly improved effective permeability. Nevertheless, excessively high annealing temperature at 900 °C caused sintering and bonding between the flaky Fe-Si powders, which deteriorated the magnetic properties. The layered Fe-Si/BN SMCs annealed at 800 °C exhibited good magnetic properties, such as low magnetic loss (82.7 W/kg at 50 kHz and 0.05 T) and remarkably high effective permeability (143 at 100 kHz).
