Abstract

Soft magnetic materials are often limited in scalability due to conventional processes that do not retain beneficial microstructures, and their associated physical properties, during densification. In this work, friction consolidation (FC) has been studied to fabricate Fe-Si soft magnetic materials from gas-atomized powder precursors. Fe-Si powder is consolidated using variable pressure and tool rotation speed in an effort to evaluate this unique densification approach for potential improvements in magnetic properties. FC, due to the high shear deformation involved, is shown to result in uniform gradual grain structure refinement across the consolidated workpiece from the center nearest the tool to the edge. Magnetic properties along different orientations indicate little, if any, textural orientation in the refined grain structure. The effect of annealing on the magnetic properties is evaluated and shown to decrease coercivity. FC processing was able to retain the magnetization of the original gas-atomized powders but further process optimization is needed to reach the optimal coercivity for the soft magnetic materials applications.

Consolidation, magnetic and mechanical properties of gas atomized and HDDR Nd{sub 2}Fe{sub 14}B powders

Journal Article Horton, J; Heatherly, L; Branagan, D; ... - IEEE Transactions on Magnetics

Nd{sub 2}Fe{sub 14}B powders produced by gas atomization (GA) were consolidated and the fracture toughness and magnetic properties were measured and compared to material produced by hydrogenation, disproportionation, desorption, and recombination (HDDR) and to Magnequench MQII magnets. Hot pressing of the gas atomized powder without TiC additions required temperatures and times similar to that required by Magnequench melt spun powder. Titanium plus carbon additions, which result in enhanced quenchability during production of the GA powder, required higher temperatures than alloys without TiC for successful hot pressing and full densification. However, grain sizes remained under 50 nm in the consolidated magnet.more »« less

Soft magnetic composites manufactured by warm co-extrusion of bulk metallic glass and steel powders

Journal Article Johnson, Francis; Raber, Thomas; Zabala, Robert; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Soft magnetic composites of Fe-based bulk metallic glass and low-alloy steel have been manufactured by warm co-extrusion of precursor powders at temperatures within the supercooled liquid region of the glass. Composites were manufactured with amorphous volume fractions of 75%, 67%, and 100%. Full consolidation of the constituent powders was observed with the bulk metallic glass remaining substantially amorphous. The composite electrical resistivity was observed to be anisotropic with a resistivity of 79 {mu}{Omega} cm measured transverse to the extrusion axis in a sample with 75% amorphous volume fraction.

The onset of alloying in Cu-Ni powders under high-shear consolidation

Journal Article Overman, Nicole; Olszta, Matthew; Bowden, Mark; ... - Materials & Design

Friction consolidation (FC) is a solid phase processing methodology that densifies a material through high-shear deformation and pressure at elevated temperature. The method has garnered interest in the scientific community because of its ability to produce extremely refined and homogeneous microstructures, off-axis texture development, and improved material properties. This manuscript presents an investigation of Cu and Ni material mixing via evaluation of morphological evolution, grain boundary characterization, and compositional analysis to provide insights on the operational alloying mechanisms occurring under high shear and elevated temperature. Using correlative microscopy techniques, we show alloying progresses via a combination of grain boundary diffusionmore »« less

Structural and magnetic properties of nanocrystalline Fe-rich Fe-Nb-Nd-B sintered magnets produced by consolidating amorphous powders

Journal Article Kojima, A; Inoue, A; Makino, A - IEEE Transactions on Magnetics

Nanocrystalline bulk Fe{sub 88}Nb{sub 2}Nd{sub 5}B{sub 5} and Fe{sub 86}Nb{sub 2}Nd{sub 7}B{sub 5} alloys were made by consolidating amorphous powders with an electric-pulse-current-sintering method and subsequent annealing. Bulk alloy made by consolidating amorphous powders has a higher density (the maximum density could reach 7.5 g/cm{sup 3} consolidating at 873 K and 636 MPa) than that made by consolidating crystalline powders, presumably because the amorphous alloy softens around the crystallization temperature. The structure formed after annealing at 1,023 K for 180 s shows a nanocrystalline composite consisting of bcc-Fe, Nd{sub 2}Fe{sub 14}B and Fe{sub 3}B or Fe{sub 2}B phases with grainmore »« less
