Magnetic induction and resonance wireless power charging generally operates in a high frequency range, and its efficiency is degraded by the generation of heat at high frequency. This makes it necessary to develop new soft magnetic materials capable of maintaining their characteristics even at high frequency. The purpose of this study is to minimize the heat generated by the eddy currents when charging, and to improve the charging efficiency under an alternating magnetic field. In this study, Fe-Si-B alloys containing Cu, Zr and Ca elements were melt-spun to prepare amorphous ribbons. The amorphous ribbons were heat treated to crystallize nanograins, The structure was analyzed by TEM and EELS, As a result, it was found that Zr was distributed mainly at the grain boundaries after heat treatment, whereas Ca was uniformly distributed only along the grain boundaries. It could be concluded that the Ca and Zr elements effectively suppressed the grain growth, and thus maintained the very fine nanograin structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
