Magnetic Properties Evaluation and Loss Simulation of FeNiMo/Ni₀.₆Zn₀.₄Fe₂O₄ Soft Magnetic Composites
摘要
As key materials in electronic devices, soft magnetic composites(SMCs)are required to exhibit both high permeability and low core loss under high-frequency conditions in order to meet the demands of modern electronics toward high frequency and miniaturization. In this work, SMCs featuring FeNiMo cores encapsulated by a magnetic Ni₀.₆Zn₀.₄Fe₂O₄ layer were designed and fabricated to enhance magnetic performance, and the dependence of magnetic properties on Ni₀.₆Zn₀.₄Fe₂O₄ content was systematically investigated. The composite with 4 wt% Ni₀.₆Zn₀.₄Fe₂O₄ demonstrates the optimal comprehensive electromagnetic performance. It delivers a minimum core loss of 63.34 W/kg at 0.05 T and 10 kHz, accompanied by the highest equivalent permeability (23.69) and electrical resistivity among all samples. Furthermore, a finite element-based microstructural model was developed in Ansys Maxwell to evaluate current density distribution and magnetic loss under an applied magnetic field. The simulations demonstrate a more uniform magnetic flux distribution and suppressed eddy current effects at the optimal composition. The good agreement with experimental results provides simulation-assisted interpretation and further clarifies the magnetic loss mechanisms, confirming the excellent low-loss performance under alternating magnetic field conditions.
