Abstract
Homegeneous feedstock is necessary to make plastic magents with uniform magnetic properties, therefore the optrimized mixing route and the homogeneity evaluation method are demanded. In this paper, method of homogeneity evaluation and effect of homogeneity on the magnetic prperites were investigated using Sr-ferrite /EVA plastic magnets. The feedstocks with different homogeneity were prepared using batch mixer and single screw extruder. The homogeneities of feedstocks were tested by torgue sensor, capilary rheometer, and measurement of magnetic properties. Mixing torque measurement using torque sensor was an effective method to determine the critical powder loading, but it was nor suitable to suitable to determine the feedstock mixing quality. Particle alignment measurement of a plastic magent was very accurate to evaluate the homogeneity, but expensive equipments were required to make and measure the samples. Pressure measurement using capillary rheometer was a very effective and easy method with high accuracy. Homogeneous feedstock increased the particle alignment of plastic magnet. Remanet flux density and maximum energy product increased linearly and quadratically with increasing particle alignment, respectively.
플라스틱 자석에는 균일한 자장분포와 높은 자기특성을 얻기 위해서는 균질화된 혼합물이 요구되며, 이를 위해서는 적절한 혼합경로와 혼합물의 균질도 평가방법이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 Sr-ferrite/EVA 플라스틱 자석에서 혼합균질도의 평가방법과 혼합균질도가 자기특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 회분식 혼합기와 단축압출기를 이용하여 균질도가 서로 다른 혼합균질도를 조사하였다. 토크센서를 이요한 혼합시 토크변화 측정방법은 임계분말충전율 결정에는 효과적인데 반해 혼합균질도 평가에는 적합하지 않았다. 이그이방성 플라스틱 자석의 분말이방화율을 이용한 균질도 평가방법은 정밀도는 높으나, 시편제조와 측정에 고가의 장비와 필요하고 자성분말 혼합물 이외에는 이용될수 없다. 모세관 레오미터를 이용한 압출압력변화 측정방법은 정밀도가 높고 측정이 간편하여 효과적이었다. 혼합물의 균질도가 증가함에 따라 분말이방화율이 증가하였으며, 분말이방화율의 증가에 따라 잔류자속밀도는 직선적으로 증가하였다.
