The present paper focused on the effects of aluminium alloy addition on the behaviour of soft magnetic materials at low frequencies. The microstructure investigation reveals that for materials with high aluminium contents, the pores are oriented near or surrounding the aluminium particles. The microstructure investigation reveals that for materials with high aluminium contents, the pores are oriented near or surrounding the aluminium particles, as well as after heat treatment shows coarse-grained structure with a minimum number of inclusions within the grains and at the grain boundaries. Results show that the magnetic properties are dependent on the structural state of the investigated material. Magnetic properties increased with decreasing density due to the enhanced densification by means of applied pressing pressure and promote porosity reduction during heat treatment.
The main aim of the presented work was to study the effects of chemical composition on the magnetic properties (in terms of B-H characteristics) of an insulated iron powder compound with various addition of the aluminium alloy (0, 5 and 10 wt%). The magnetic properties of the powder were significantly influenced by density and "sintering" effects. The addition of aluminium alloy maintaining suitable values of coercive force, remanence and core losses; this makes the modified insulated iron powder compound a promising soft magnetic material in several applications.
