Abstract
To mitigate power loss of soft magnetic composites (SMCs), it is essential to form a homogeneous insulating layer and eliminate electrical conducting path between the magnetic powders. In this paper, low melting point Na2WO4 is evenly insulated onto FeSiAl surface, forming a core-shell FeSiAl@Na2WO4 structure after annealing at 730 °C. The liquid phase of Na2WO4 plays a pivotal role in lubrication and reduces stress concentration at the interface, resulting in low hysteresis loss. Meanwhile, the optimal Na2WO4 layer significantly reduces eddy current loss. Additionally, the FeSiAl@Na2WO4–0.08 wt. % SMC exhibits high effective permeability of 78 and low power loss of 128 mW/cm3 at 50 mT/100 kHz. This paper offers a simple and cost-effective approach for SMC preparation using low melting point salt, which contributes to the development of high-performance SMCs.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
