High Performance Ferrite Magnets -From the Perspective of Powder Technologyt Review High Performance Ferrite Magnets -From the Perspective of Powder Technologyt- Hitoshi Taguchi TDK Materials Research Center* Abstract Coercivity in hexa-ferrite magnets originates in the magnetic behavior of so-called "single domain particles" with uniaxial magneto-crystalline anisotropy. The critical diameter, below which a single domain is stable, is estimated at around 1 micrometer (l(r6 m) forM-type Sr-ferrite, which means that control of grain size to under a micron is significant for achieving high coercivity. For this reason studies were performed on a process for obtaining sub micron powder and sintered grains, as well as on techniques for obtaining high orientation under magnetic fields when using submicron powder. For analytical purposes, particle size distribution, magnetic properties, and lattice defects of Sr-ferrite particles were investigated to explain the observed behavior. 1.

Magnetization of W-type ferrites is lO'lf; greater than M-type ferrite, but its K1 is relatively small in general. Despite a great number of studies concerning cation substitution in the M-type struc­ ture, very few attempts to increase magnetization have succeeded.

  • Switch Mode Power Supplies and Their Magnetics Tutorial
    Datatronic Switch Mode Power Supplies and their Magnetics Many factors must be considered by designers when choosing the magnetic components required in today’s electronic power supplies DATATRONIC DISTRIBUTION, INC. Datatronic In today’s day and age the most often used topology for electronic power supplies is that of the Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS), which is a major user of magnetics. In some applications the “older type” linear supplies are still used, but in the early 70’s SMPS came into being spurred by the development of faster switching transistors. This facilitated the use of much smaller magnetic components and greater efficiencies. DATATRONIC DISTRIBUTION, INC. Datatronic SMPS and their General Magnetic Usage In general, there are four different types of magnetic components that are needed for the typical SMPS. They include the Output Transformer, usually the most noticeable because of its size compared to the others, the Output Inductors, the Input Inductors and the Current Sense Transformer, each with its own important function. DATATRONIC DISTRIBUTION, INC. Datatronic SMPS and their General Magnetic Usage 1.The Output Transformer or “Main” Transformer takes the input voltage that is supplied to its primary winding and then transforms the input voltage to one or more voltages that are the output of the secondary winding or windings. 2. The Output Inductors are used to filter the output voltage so that the load “sees” a filtered DC voltage. DATATRONIC DISTRIBUTION, INC. Datatronic SMPS and their General Magnetic Usage 3. The Input Inductors filter out the noise generated by the switching transistors so that this noise isn’t emitted back to the source.

  • INTRODUCTION:- Ferrites Are Ferromagnetic Material Containing Predominantly Oxides Iron Along with Other Oxides of Barium, Stron
    INTRODUCTION:- Ferrites are ferromagnetic material containing predominantly oxides iron along with other oxides of barium, strontium, manganese, nickel, zinc, lithium and cadmium .Ferrites are ideally suited for making device like inductor core, circulators, memory devices and also for various microwave application. Although the saturation magnetisation of ferrites less than that of ferromagnetic alloys, they have advantages such as applicability at higher frequency, lower price and greater electrical resistance. Since 1950, soft ferrites have been widely studied and have become a field of interest of many researches because of their application potential in the modern electronics industry. The electrical and magnetic properties of these materials are structure sensitive and can be altered by doping or substitution. The substitution of aluminium in the inverse ferrites like Nickel, copper and cobalt ferrites have proved to be useful by increasing their saturation, magnetization, resistivity, however, at the cost of decrease of Curie temperature. Cadmium ferrite is a normal spinel ; its magnetic moment per unit cell is zero. Low magnetic high resistive ferrite are so applicable in the high frequency transformer cores. The addition of aluminium which has strong preference for the octahedral sites should exhibit the decrease of the magnetisation because aluminium is nonmagnetic. As aluminium content increases, the magnetic moment of unit cell decreases that means show triangular spin moment, their occurs a reduction in the sub lattice interaction. The removal of iron ions from magnetic sublattice and substitution of the nonmagnetic aluminium ion in its place weakens the magnetism. Due to this substitution improves catalytic, dielectric and magnetic properties, as they possess high resistivity and negligible eddy current losses.

It is easy to understand if the magnetic material is material) and hard ferrite (magnet material). TDK was imagined as an electrical conductive material, the magnetic field established for producing soft ferrite in 1935. as an electric field, and the flux density as an electric current. When a voltage is applied to the common electrical conductive Figure 1 The First Ferrite Core in the World material, a current flows in proportion to the voltage; then, if the voltage is decreased, the current decreases in proportion to the voltage (Ohm’s Law). In the case of the magnetic material, the flux density non-linearly increases against the magnetic field. If the magnetic field is decreased after being increased, the flux density decreases while drawing a different curve from that obtained when the magnetic field is increasing. Therefore, the curve is called a history curve (hysteresis curve). In the case of hard ferrite, when the magnetic field first increases the flux density does not change so much, however, when the magnetic field becomes extremely strong, a sudden flux density flows to create a magnet.

  • Magnetic Cores for Switching Power Supplies INTRODUCTION the Advantages of Switching Power Supplies (SPS) Are Well Documented
    ® Division of Spang & Company Magnetic Cores For Switching Power Supplies INTRODUCTION The advantages of switching power supplies (SPS) are well documented. Various circuits used in these units have also been sufficiently noted in literature. Magnetic cores play an important role in SPS circuitry. They are made from a variety of raw materials, a range of manufacturing processes, and are available in a variety of geometries and sizes as shown in Figure 1. Each material has its own unique properties. Therefore, the requirements for each applica- tion of a core in the power supply must be examined in light of the properties of available magnetic materials so that a proper core choice can be made. This article describes the various magnetic materials used for cores in switching power supplies, their method of manufacture, and useful magnetic characteristics as related to major sections of the power supply. Cores can be classified into three basic Figure 1: A Multitude of Magnetic Cores. types: (1) tape wound cores, (2) powder cores, and (3) ferrites.

Depending on the post-synthesis processing the nanopowders exhibited dierences in the mean sizes, presence of amorphous layer and/or secondary phases. Extended magnetic study performed for fresh, annealed and hot-pressed nanopowders revealed substantial improvement of the magnetic properties in the as-prepared powder.

Drawing on feminist tradi- tions of situated knowing, we designed an electronic quilt and a series of participatory workshops that materialize the work of the core memory weavers. With this case we not only broaden dominant stories of design, but we also reflect on the entanglement of predominantly male, high status labor with the ostensibly low-status work of women’s hands. By integrating design and archival research as a means of cultural analysis, we further expand conversations on design research methods within human-computer inter- action (HCI), using design to reveal legacies of practice Figure 1: Close up view of the Core Memory Quilt. elided by contemporary technology cultures.
