Dust core and method for producing the same

摘要

There are provided a dust core in which, even if the surface of a heat-treated compact is ground, the insulation between soft magnetic particles on the ground surface can be ensured in the grinding step, and a method for producing the dust core.;The method includes a preparation step of preparing a heat-treated compact 100 by compacting soft magnetic particles having an insulation coating and heating the resultant compact to a predetermined temperature; and a machining step of removing part of the heat-treated compact 100 using a working tool 2. The machining step is performed while an electric current is supplied with a conductive fluid 7L between the heat-treated compact 100 serving as an anode and a working tool 2 that machines the heat-treated compact 100 or a first counter electrode 5 that faces the working tool 2 with a distance therebetween, the working tool 2 or the first counter electrode 5 serving as a cathode. A bridge portion that connects soft magnetic particles to each other is removed through the supply of an electric current, the soft magnetic particles being adjacent to each other along a machined surface of the heat-treated compact 100.

主权项

1. A dust core obtained by compacting soft magnetic particles having an insulation coating, the dust core comprising:
a machined surface on at least part of an outer peripheral surface of the core, the machined surface being formed by removing part of the core with a working tool, wherein soft magnetic particles that are adjacent to each other along the machined surface are isolated from each other through an insulation coating on the machined surface.
