Project summary

The main goals of this project are the synthesis of new soft magnetic compacts next to the building of a new young research team. The synthesis of new soft magnetic materials with good magnetic permeability, large magnetic induction and high electrical resistivity, which could work in middle/high frequencies, is envisaged. These will be obtained by combining the iron alloys with soft magnetic iron mixed ferrites. Composite and nanocomposite materials, powders and compacts will be synthesized by combining various techniques such as mechano synthesis, classical sintering and spark plasma sintering. The new iron alloy/iron mixed ferrite composite materials could combine the electrical and magnetic properties of the components phases, resulting, thus, high erelectrical resistivity as compared to the iron alloy and increased saturation induction and magnetic permeability as compared to the iron mixed spinel ferrites.

These will lead to lower eddy current losses when the composite compacts are used in frequencies application. A very important aspect proposed in this project is the synthesis of the nano composite iron alloy/iron mixed ferrite type compacts from nanocomposite powders. The synthesis of this type of compacts is expected to lead to an important increase of the electrical resistivity and better magnetic permeability, assured by nanocrystalline state.
