Influences of machining on magnetic properties of soft magnetic composites (SMC's) with addition of two kinds of binder, i.e., organic binder and inorganic one, were investigated. Machining does not affect DC magnetic properties of the SMC compacts. This can be ascribed to their particular structure in which the ironpowder particles are highly isolated by the binder. On the other hand, decrease in resistivity and resultant increase in eddy current loss was confirmed in the machined compacts containing inorganic binder. It is supposed that the brittleadditive binder existing between the iron particles is partly broken, and iron-to-iron contact is formed on the machined surface.

Flux-switching permanent magnet machines (FSPMM) have doubly-salient and simple structures making it cost effective and suitable for mass production. In addition, it is possible to increase the rotor rotating speed and concentrate the flux of the permanent magnet on the air-gap. Due to these merits, the FSPMM can be applied to the various industry applications. To improve the performance, various design variables need to be studied in terms of design techniques. In this paper, we especially concentrate on the distribution of iron losses using a two-dimensional finite-element method (2D FEM). As a result, we can get an information for high efficiency FSPMM design.

A high-temperature superconductor (HTS) journal bearing was studied for loss. Two HTS bearings support the rotor at top and bottom. The rotor weight is 4 kg and the length is about 300 mm. Both the top and bottom bearings have two permanent magnet (PM) rings with an iron pole piece separating them. Each HTS journal bearing is composed of six pieces of superconductor blocks of size 35$\times$25$\times$10 mm. The HTS blocks are encased in a cryochamber through which liquid nitrogen flows. The inner spool of the cryochamber is made from G-10 to reduce eddy current loss, and the rest of the cryochamber is stainless steel. The magnetic field from the PM rings ＜ 10 mT on the stainless part. The rotational drag was measured over the same speed range. Results indicate that the 10 mT design criteria for magnetic field on the stainless part of the cryochamber is too high.

This paper proposes a new levitation scheme for EDS MAGLEV vehicle with AC superconducting magnet(ACSCM). The eddy current and the levitation force are generated at all speed including stand still in this scheme, therefore, the auxiliary wheels on DCSCM can be eliminated. To reduce the ac loss of the magnet, the ACSCM also can be operated as a DCASCM at high speed because levitation force generated by DCSCM is enough at high speed. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, the repulsive force and power loss versus frequency of ACSCM is calculated. For comparison, characteristics of DCSCM of same cross section versus speed are also given. (author). 6 refs., 9 figs.

To improvement the magnetic and frequency properties of YIG(Yttrium-Iron Garnet) in microwave region, it is investigated that the effect of $Al^{3+}$ ions on magnetic and frequency characteristics of YIG, using samples of basic YIG composition( $Y_{3}$F $e_{5}$ $O_{l2}$) added with A1$_{2}$ $O_{3}$ from 0 to 2.5 [mol%]. The measurment is conducted mainly for the structural properties and magnetical properties. The structural properties is measured using SEM(Scanning Electro Microscope), EDX(Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer) and XRD(X-ray diffraction equipment). The magnetical properties is measured with B-H curve tracer and impedance analyzer. As a result, it is confin-ned that the effect of eddy current loss is minimized while maintaining high saturation flux density of YIG, when YIG is added with 0.5 [mol%] of A1$_{2}$ $O_{3}$.>.>.

Composites of $Fe_{93.5}Si_{6.5}$ powder and epoxy were prepared using a thermal curing process. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and network analyzer were used to analyze the structure, electromagnetic properties and microwave absorption of the composites. Results show that the saturation magnetization depends on the fraction of the $Fe_{93.5}Si_{6.5}$ powder in the composite, which affects initial permeability. It is believed that the eddy current loss is a dominant factor over 1 GHz and that the resonance frequency of the composite decreases with increasing fractions of $Fe_{93.5}Si_{6.5}$ powder. Finally, reflection loss was calculated from the permeability and permittivity of these composites. Composite with 50 wt.% $Fe_{93.5}Si_{6.5}$ powder fractions and 5 mm thickness showed reflection loss below -20 dB from 3.66 GHz to 4.16 GHz. Therefore, it is believed that thin Fe-Si/epoxy composites may be a good candidate for microwave absorption application.

Fe-3, 4.2 and 6.8% Si compressed cores were fabricated, and then electrical resistivity, AC and DC magnetic properties, microhardness, and other properties were analyzed in order to know whether best soft magnetic properties could be also obtained in an Fe-Si compressed core with the well-known composition of Fe-6.5% Si. With increasing the silicon content, eddy current loss and hysteresis loss decreased and increased, respectively, so that a minimum total loss was not obtained in the well-known Fe-6.8 % Si cores, but obtained in the Fe-4.2 % Si cores. Also electrical resistivity of the cores and hardness of the particles increased monotonously with silicon content so that compaction ratio of the cores decreased. B2 and $DO_3$ ordered phase could be observed only in Fe-6.8% Si powder. A minimum loss and highest permeability of the Fe-4.2 % Si cores can be explained by the ratio of specific electrical resistivity of insulator to that of magnetic particles, micro-hardness, compaction ratio and demagnetization coefficient of the Fe-Si powder particles with silicon content.

Soft magnetic composites (SMCs) are especially suitable for the construction of low-cost, high-performance motors with 3-D magnetic fields. The main advantages of SMCs is that the iron particles are insulated by the surface coating and adhesive used for composite bonding, the eddy-current loss is much lower than that in laminated steels, especially at higher frequencies, and the hysteresis loss becomes the dominant component of core losses. These properties enable machines to operate at higher frequencies, resulting in reduced machine size and weight. In this paper, 3-D topologies are proposed that enable the application of SMCs to effectively reduce losses in high-speed permanent magnet (PM) motors. In addition, the electromagnetic field characteristics of the motor topologies are evaluated and compared using a non-linear finite element method (FEM) based on 3-D numerical analysis, and the feasibility of the motor designs is validated.

Power transformers are increasingly becoming more significant in the advancement of electronic equipment. A high-performance, low-cost core material is necessary in order th come up with power transformers in the smallest and lightest scale possible and with low power requirements. In this study, we added V$_2$O$_{5}$ and CaCo$_3$to Mn-Zn ferrite to produce a high-performance low-cost core material. The compositions used were MnO : ZnO : Fe$_2$O$_3$= 37 : 11 : 52 mol%. The materials were sintered at 125$0^{\circ}C$ for three hours. Initial permeability was measured at 0.1MHz. At 200mT, power loss was measured by changing the temperature at 25KHz, 50KHz, 100KHz. When we added 0.lwt% and 0.1%wt% of V$_2$O$_{5}$와 CaCo$_3$, respectively we obtained 405 405KW/㎥ at 200mT, 100KHz, 6$0^{\circ}C$. We tan reduce eddy current loss as a primary loss of high frequency by adding a small amount of V$_2$O$_{5}$와 CaCo$_3$. This reduces power loss in the power transformersormers

The effects of magnetic powder size on electromagnetic wave absorption characteristics in Fe-6.5Si-0.9Cr(wt%) alloy flakes/polymer composite sheets available for quasi-microwave band have been investigated. The composite sheet including small magnetic flakes with the size less than $26{\mu}m$ exhibited high power loss in the GHz frequency range as compared with the sheets having large alloy flakes of $45{\sim}75{\mu}m$. Moreover, both the complex permeability and the loss factor increased with the decrease in size of the alloy flakes. The large power loss of the sheets containing small magnetic flakes was attributed to the high complex permeability, especially their imaginary part. The high complex permeability of the sheets composed of small flakes was considered to be due to the highly thin shape of the flakes inducing low eddy-current loss.
