Provided are a green compact from which a low-loss core can be formed, a method of manufacturing the green compact, and a core for a reactor using the green compact. Parts of outer circumferential surfaces of green compacts 41 and 42 are molded with an inner peripheral surface of a through hole 10h A of a die 10A, and the other parts are molded with an outer circumferential surface of a core rod 13A that is inserted and disposed in the through hole 10h A . A raw-material powder P, which is a coated soft magnetic powder, is fed into compacting spaces 31 and 32 and pressurized by using a lower punch 12 (first punch) and an upper punch 11 (second punch). Then, the green compacts 41 and 42 are removed from the compacting spaces 31 and 32 by moving the die 10A with respect to the green compacts 41 and 42 without moving the core rod 13A with respect to the green compacts 41 and 42. An area that is on the outer circumferential surface of each of the green compacts 41 and 42 and that is molded with the core rod 13A does not rub against the core rod 13A, and thus a complete insulating layer is maintained in the area. Therefore, a core using the green compact 41 or 42 can reduce eddy current loss. |
