Binder Jet Printed Iron Silicon with Low Hysteresis Loss

Abstract

In this paper, the iron loss characteristics of 3D printed iron silicon samples are compared with prototype soft magnetic composite material. Binder jet printing technology is used to prepare the iron silicon samples and its magnetic properties are experimentally extracted using the Epstein frame and the permeameter. It is shown that 3D printed samples can have lower hysteresis loss while achieving higher magnetic induction compared to prototype soft magnetic composites.
