Method for the compaction of soft magnetic powder

摘要

Disclosed is a method for the compaction of a soft magnetic powder capable of manufacturing a green compact which has attained high density and high strength, is excellent in mechanical properties and magnetic properties and does not cause a reduction in electrical resistance. Soft magnetic powder particles individually surface-coated with an insulating vitreous layer containing P, Mg, B, and Fe as essential components are used, and a lubricant is applied to the inner wall surface of a compaction die. The soft magnetic powder is subjected to compaction at from not less than room temperature to less than 50° C. without mixing the lubricant with the soft magnetic powder, followed by annealing at from 50 to 300° C..
