Industrial, Institute of Energy Research and Industrial Applications, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM), 13071 Ciudad Real, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Soft magnetic materials are characterized by achieving a high magnetic induction value in the presence of a small magnetic field. Common applications of these materials, such as transformers or sensors, are in constant evolution and new requirements are becoming more demanding. Nickel and its alloys are employed as smart materials taking advantage of their superior magnetoelastic properties. A metal injection molding (MIM) technique provides high-quality complex-shaped parts with a good density and controlled impurity levels, which are necessary for these applications, by carefully adjusting the sintering stage. Previous investigations have established a sintering ◦ cycle for pure nickel consisting of 1325 C for 12 h within an N2-5%H2 atmosphere. Nevertheless, microstructural, mechanical and magnetoelastic responses can still be greatly enhanced. In this context, the effects of hot isostatic pressing (HIP), and sintering atmosphere have been investigated. The application of an adequate HIP treatment leads to significant improvements in comparison to the reference sintering process. It achieves almost complete densification while increasing field- dependent elastic modulus from 8.1% up to 9.6%. Additionally, the sintering atmosphere has been Citation: Romero, A.; Morales, A.L.; proven to be a key factor in reducing impurities and hence facilitating magnetic domain motion. Herranz, G.

Introduction published maps and institutional affil- iations. Nickel-base materials are widely used for commercial purposes due to remarkable properties, reported extensively in the ASM Specialty Handbook [1], such as corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, thermal expansion, electrical conductivity, and magnetic properties. As a consequence, commercial products can be obtained in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Copyright: © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

Multiple purity grades of spherical or round carbonyl Ni powders with suitable particle size ranges for use in MIM are commercially available. Furthermore, MIM allows high production quantities of complex shapes, exceptional performance, and lower production costs than other manufacturing techniques. Banerjee and Joens [4] highlight that the main steps in MIM technology are the removal of the binder system followed by the sintering process to ensure the permanent bonding of the particles in a suitable protective atmosphere. Heckel [5] stated that sintering atmospheres must fulfill various functions such as preventing oxygen and other airborne contaminants from entering the furnace, reducing surface oxides on the powder particles, controlling carbon on the surface, removing carbon, controlling oxidation during cooling, and efficiently transferring or removing heat. All these features were also confirmed years later by German [6]. Typical MIM powders have a D90 particle size distribution of around 20 µm. The huge surface area of MIM powders guarantees surface energy that allows the obtention of intense diffusive forces for the sintering process and therefore high densification. This, however, results in an increased risk of oxidation during thermal processing, because nickel is a metal in which the oxides are easily reduced by carbon or hydrogen. For this reason, according to Blais [7], sintering of nickel parts is typically carried out in a sulfur-free reducing atmosphere, such as hydrogen, combinations of nitrogen-hydrogen, dissociated ammonia, or burnt natural gas. Sintering cycles of time–temperature are carefully aimed to obtain specific density requirements. Nevertheless, MIM does not ensure obtaining fully densified materials in some cases when the particle distribution is too narrow. This fact has been verified by Romero et al. [8] in a previous study in which the sintering process of nickel powders between 3 and 7 microns was done at high temperatures and for long periods of the plateau without achieving relative densifications higher than 97%. This obstacle may restrict the use of these materials for applications where high magnetic properties are required since Ma et al. [9] proved that the highest magnetic performance is achieved with the highest density values. Accordingly, some thermal treatments such as hot isostatic pressing (HIP) could be used to decrease porosity and hence improve the magnetic response. In this sense, Qiu et al. [10] achieved fully densities in a nickel-base superalloy after applying for 3 h a HIP process at ∼1190 °C and a pressure of 120 MPa. In a recent study carried out by Martínez et al. [11], higher densifications were obtained in pure nickel powders via HIP than those obtained via a conventional hot-pressing process. The interest in the wide possibilities of nickel and nickel alloys has grown over the years. In the recent review of Horke et al. [12] it is possible to find many studies related to these materials after being processed by MIM, but they are mainly based on their mechanical properties. On the other hand, the application of HIP in nickel [11] or nickel alloys [13] is also an issue of topical interest. However, these studies do not focus on magnetic properties but in the study of densification [14], microstructure [15], elongation [16] or strength and ductility [17] after HIP. There are few studies about the magnetic properties of nickel alloys, and none of the pure nickel, after the combined application of MIM and HIP. Thus, there is still room for exploring the application of these techniques for enhancing the magnetic properties of nickel. In the search for optimizing pure nickel microstructural, mechanical and magnetic performance (by means of facilitating magnetic domain motion), the objective of this paper is twofold: 1. Execution of a HIP treatment after sintering to minimize the residual porosity of the pieces. 2. Selection of an adequate sintering atmosphere (N2-5%H2,N2-10%H2-0.1%CH4 or low vacuum) which decreases impurities. Metals 2021, 11, 643 3 of 19 2. Experimental Procedure Commercially available pure carbonyl nickel powder (3–7 µm) was selected for the evaluations. The rounded morphology of the powder can be seen in Figure1, which shows a Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of the powder with a carbon content of 0.07 wt.% and an absolute density of 8.87 g/cm3 measured by means of an elemental analyzer LECO CS-230 and a helium pycnometer Micromeritics AccuPyc II 1340, respectively.

The feedstock was prepared by mixing the nickel powder with a previously devel- oped multi-component binder system consisting of paraffin wax (PW) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in equal proportions.

Their microstructure, thermal behavior and magnetic response were checked by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). After 80 h of MA, the alloys were nanostructured (bcc-Fe(Co)-rich phase). As the Co content increases, the density of the dislocations decreases. Besides, a higher concentration of Co causes an increase in the activation energy of the crystallization process. The calculated energies, 267 and 332 kJ/mol, are associated to the crystalline growth of the bcc-Fe-rich phase. The Co content of the samples has no effect on the value of the saturation magnetization, whereas the coercivity is lower in the alloy containing less Co. Samples were compacted and heat-treated. Optimal annealing reduces the coercivity by a factor of two. Results were compared with the data of Fe-Nb-B and Fe-Ni-Nb-B alloys.

Bull., Series B, Vol. 69, No. 2, 2007 ISSN 1454-2331 INFLUENCE OF PURITY AND FABRICATION TECHNOLOGY ON THE PROPERTIES OF SOFT MAGNETIC Fe- 50Ni ALLOY Violeta TSAKIRIS1, Maria PETRESCU2 Aliajul Fe-50Ni apaţinând grupului de aliaje Permalloy cu aplicaţii în electronică, automatică, telefonie, instrumente electrice fine, a fost elaborat din fier extramoale şi nichel de înaltă puritate (99,95Ni). La elaborare s-a folosit topirea prin inducţie în aer sub protecţie cu insuflare de argon, în locul topirii în vid. Aliajul a fost forjat şi apoi recopt în atmosferă de H2 pentru a obţine o microstructură favorabilă şi o creştere a purităţii chimice şi fizice. Când aliajului forjat i s-a aplicat tratamentul termic de recoacere în H2, s-a obţinut o scădere a durităţii Brinell de la 182 la 130 daN/mm2 şi a câmpului coecitiv de la 0,5 la 0,4 Oe, împreună cu o creştere a permeabiltaţii magnetice de la 16000 la 23000 Gs/Oe şi a inducţiei la saturaţie de la 12300 la 14940 Gs. Luând în considerare creşterea grăunţilor produsă de tratamentul termic de recoacere se poate stabili un paralelism între scăderea de duritate prezisă de teoria dislocaţiilor şi modificarea proprietăţilor magnetice prezisă de teoria câmpului coercitiv. The soft magnetic alloy Fe-50Ni belonging to the Permalloy group that finds application in electronics, automatics, telephony and fine electrical devices has been obtained from extra-mild iron and high purity nickel (99.95). Induction melting was carried out in air under a protective argon blanket instead of vacuum melting. Forging and annealing in H2 atmosphere have been applied for obtaining a favourable microstructure and an increase in chemical and physical purity.

Postal: 68503, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, 21941-972, Brazil [email protected] Abstract. Developing a new material or even improving properties of an existing material is a complex and time- consuming task. In recent years, materials scientists around the globe proposed a number of ways to speed up the alloy development process by using various computational tools. In this work, we made an attempt to demonstrate the efficacy of using computational tools in design optimization of materials, especially for high-temperature applications. We addressed two different material systems: Alnico alloys (magnetic) and Nickel-based superalloys. Alnico type alloys are hard magnetic alloys and well known for high-temperature applications. In this work, we defined the variable range of various elements and generated an initial set of alloys by a quasi-random sequence generation algorithm. These alloys were synthesized and tested for determining various material properties. We used a response surface methodology approach to develop surrogate models (meta-models) that approximately linked alloy chemistry with desired properties for these multi-component systems while being computationally affordable. These models were further used for multi-objective optimization of desired (conflicting) properties by using a number of algorithms based on evolutionary approaches, as well as our hybrid optimizer.

Shaw Lane, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA. Abstract: Additive manufacturing has many advantages over traditional manufacturing methods and has been increasingly used in medical, aerospace, and automotive applications. The flexibility of additive manufacturing technologies to fabricate complex geometries from copper, polymer, and ferrous materials presents unique opportunities for new design concepts and improved machine power density without significantly increasing production and prototyping cost. Topology optimiza- tion investigates the optimal distribution of single or multiple materials within a defined design space, and can lead to unique geometries not realizable with conventional optimization techniques. As an enabling technology, additive manufacturing provides an opportunity for machine designers to overcome the current manufacturing limitation that inhibit adoption of topology optimization. Successful integration of additive manufacturing and topology optimization for fabricating magnetic components for electrical machines can enable new tools for electrical machine designers. This article presents a comprehensive review of the latest achievements in the application of additive manu- facturing, topology optimization, and their integration for electrical machines and their magnetic components.

The amorphous method was used to prepare iron with the best amorphous thin strip processing parameters: the size of circular quartz tube was 0.8 mm; the distance between the nozzle and the surface of copper roller was 0.5 mm; the linear speed of copper roller surface was 41 m/s; the pressure difference between the inside and outside of quartz tube was 0.03 MPa; the spray angle was 0°. The solidification of the Fe based nanocrystalline alloy was studied by the solidification morphology, X-ray diffraction analysis, magnetic properties and mechanical properties. According to EIS studies, a 360K undercooling temperature leads to an increase in the penetration of electrolyte ions into electrode structures due to the formation of a high surface area and a high electron-transfer rate. The experimental results show that the undercooling of the alloy melt can be significantly improved by the amorphous method; the crystallization process of the prepared nanocrystalline alloy was controlled by the growth of the nanocrystalline; the prepared Fe based nanocrystalline alloy was more suitable for the common mode choke core, and can reflect different degrees of magnetic properties under the influence of different annealing temperatures; the prepared Fe based nanocrystalline alloy was better than the coarse-grained alloy.

Morley Department of Material Science and Engineering, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S1 3JD, UK; n.a.morley@sheffield.ac.uk * Correspondence: mgozden1@sheffield.ac.uk Abstract: Fe-based amorphous materials offer new opportunities for magnetic sensors, actuators, and magnetostrictive transducers due to their high saturation magnetostriction (ls = 20–40 ppm) and low coercive field compared with polycrystalline Fe-based alloys, which have high magne- tostriction but large coercive fields and Co-based amorphous alloys with small magnetostriction (ls = −3 to −5 ppm). Additive layer manufacturing (ALM) offers a new fabrication technique for more complex net-shaping designs. This paper reviews the two different ALM techniques that have been used to fabricate Fe-based amorphous magnetic materials, including the structural and magnetic properties. Selective laser melting (SLM)—a powder-bed fusion technique—and laser- engineered net shaping (LENS)—a directed energy deposition method—have both been utilised to fabricate amorphous alloys, owing to their high availability and low cost within the literature. Two different scanning strategies have been introduced by using the SLM technique. The first strategy is a double-scanning strategy, which gives rise to maximum relative density of 96% and corresponding magnetic saturation of 1.22 T. It also improved the glassy phase content by an order of magnitude of 47%, as well as improving magnetic properties (decreasing coercivity to 1591.5 A/m and increasing magnetic permeability to around 100 at 100 Hz).
