Abstract

This paper reports on the magnetic properties of dust cores composed of iron powders produced by the Plasma Rotating Electrode Process (PREP). The PREP powder had larger grain sizes than the gas-atomized powder, and their grain sizes remained large after compaction. Large grain sizes reduce the number of grain boundaries that contribute to pinning sites which hinder domain wall motion. Therefore, the dust cores composed of PREP powders had lower coercive force and lower hysteresis loss than those of the core with the gas-atomized powder. These results demonstrate that PREP powder has superior magnetic properties as a material for the magnetic cores of motors and reactors.
