Definitions
- the present invention relates to a magnetic core having good magnetic characteristics which are less changeable with time, and more particularly to a magnetic core for semiconductor circuit reactors, common mode chokes transformers, motors, etc.
- Magnetic cores for the above applications are generally required to have small magnetostriction, high effective permeability and a high saturation magnetic flux density, and also it is required that these magnetic properties are less changeable with time, meaning that they have good durability.
- the magnetic cores are required to have a low core loss and good control magnetization characteristics (a low uncontrollable magnetic flux density).
- a semiconductor circuit reactor is used to prevent electric current larger than a rated value from flowing through a semiconductor circuit due to current spike or electric linking generated by on and off of the semiconductor circuit, thereby avoiding the breakage of the semiconductor circuit, and also to prevent errors due to noises.
- a reactor is particularly required to have high effective permeability and a high squareness ratio to suppress the above abnormal current.
- a magnetic core For a common mode choke, a magnetic core should have a large operable effective magnetic flux range to prevent a monopolar noise, and it should have a small squareness ratio of a DC B-H curve.
- a magnetic core For a transformer, a magnetic core should have a small squareness ratio of a DC B-H curve to prevent a monopolar noise as in a common mode choke, and it is required to have excellent high-frequency characteristics, particularly a small core loss at high frequency, because recent switching power supplies have been getting operated at higher frequency.
- Fe-base and Co-base amorphous alloys have been getting much attention.
- Co-base amorphous alloys have a small magnetostriction and high effective permeability.
- Their use for saturable reactors were proposed by Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 57-210612 and 57-21512.
- Fe-base amorphous alloys have higher saturation magnetic flux density than Co-base amorphous alloys and also Fe-base amorphous alloys can have high squareness ratio when heat-treated in a non-oxidizing atmosphere as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-1183.
- the Fe-base amorphous alloys have higher saturation magnetic flux density than the Co-base amorphous alloys, the former alloys are inferior to the latter alloys in a core loss and control magnetization characteristics, particularly when they are used for a saturable reactor in a magnetic amplification circuit of a switching power supply operated at a high frequency of 20 kHz or more.
- the Fe-base amorphous alloys have large total control magnetization force, large control magnetization current is required to control output voltage, leading to temperature increase of the magnetic core, and also increasing a load of the control circuit, decreasing its efficiency, and making other parts nearby less durable.
- a semiconductor circuit reactor is formed from an Fe-base amorphous alloy, it shows extremely high magnetostriction and low effective permeability, so that spike current, etc. cannot effectively be prevented.
- a transformer of a switching power supply is conventionally made of Mn-Zn ferrite, but it was proposed by Denkitsushin Gakkai Technical Report PE 84-3812 to use an Fe-base amorphous alloy for a transformer of a switching power supply operable at high frequency.
- the core shows large magnetostriction, which leads to deterioration of magnetic properties by mechanical stress, and also the deterioration of high-frequency magnetic characteristics takes place when the core is cut or impregnated with a resin.
- Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-101008 discloses a pseudo-crystalline material having fine crystalline particles of 0.1 ⁇ m or less uniformly dispersed in an amorphous matrix phase in a volume larger than that of the matrix phase, which may be used as a magnetic core with magnetic characteristics little changeable with time in a magnetic circuit.
- This pseudo-crystalline material has improved heat resistance, but its magnetic properties are not so improved.
- US-A-4 558 297 discloses a saturable core made of an amorphous magnetic alloy, wherein the alloy may be one of five different basic types, each type encompassing a large number of different compositions.
- One of these many compositions includes Fe or a combination of Fe and at least one of the elements Co, Ni and Mn; an element of the group IV A of the periodic table and a combination of Si and B or a combination of Si, B, P and/or C.
- Up to 10% of the transition metallic elements may be replaced by Sc-Zn, Y-Cd, La-Hg, Ac, elements having atomic numbers greater than Ac, as well as Cu, Nb, Te, V, Cr, Ta and Y.
- the structure of the known amorphous magnetic alloy may be partially crystalline, but the ratio of the crystal to the amorphous phase should not exceed 50%.
- the magnetic core of the present invention having a change ratio of effective permeability with time (X) of 0.3 or less is generally produced from an Fe-base soft magnetic alloy consisting essentially of Fe, Cu and M, wherein M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Nb, W, Ta, Zr, Hf, Ti and Mo, at least 50% of the alloy structure being occupied by fine crystalline particles.
- the Fe-base soft magnetic alloy used for the magnetic core according to the present invention has the composition represented by the general formula: (Fe 1-a M a ) 100-x-y-z- ⁇ Cu x Si y B z M' ⁇ wherein M is Co and/or Ni, M′ is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Nb, W, Ta, Zr, Hf, Ti and Mo, and a, x, y, z and ⁇ respectively satisfy 0 ⁇ a 0.5, 0.1 ⁇ x ⁇ 3, 0 ⁇ y ⁇ 30, 0 ⁇ z ⁇ 25, 5 ⁇ y+z ⁇ 30 and 0.1 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 30, at least 50% of the alloy structure being occupied by fine crystalline particles.
- Fe-base soft magnetic alloy for the magnetic core has the composition represented by the general formula: (Fe 1-a M a ) 100-x-y-z- ⁇ - ⁇ - ⁇ Cu x Si y B z M' ⁇ M'' ⁇ X ⁇ wherein M is Co and/or Ni, M′ is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Nb, W, Ta, Zr, Hf, Ti and Mo, M'' is at least one element selected from the group consisting of V, Cr, Mn, Al, elements in the platinum group, Sc, Y, rare earth elements, Au, Zn, Sn and Re, X is at least one element selected from the group consisting of C, Ge, P, Ga, Sb, In, Be and As, and a, x, y, z , ⁇ , ⁇ and ⁇ respectively satisfy 0 ⁇ a ⁇ 0.5, 0.1 ⁇ x ⁇ 3, 0 ⁇ y ⁇ 30, 0 ⁇ z ⁇ 25, 5 ⁇
- Fe may be substituted by Co and/or Ni in the range of up to 0.3.
- M Co and/or Ni
- the content of Co and/or Ni which is represented by "a” is preferably 0-0.1.
- the range of "a” is preferably 0-0.05.
- Cu is an indispensable element, and its content "x" is 0.1-3 atomic %. When it is less than 0.1 atomic %, substantially no effect on the reduction of core loss and on the increase in permeability can be obtained by the addition of Cu. On ther other hand, when it exceeds 3 atomic %, the resulting magnetic core's control magnetization properties become lower than those containing no Cu.
- the preferred content of Cu in the present invention is 0.5-2 atomic %, in which range the magnetic core can have control magnetization properties comparable to those of Co-base amorphous alloy magnetic cores.
- Cu and Fe have a positive interaction parameter so that their sulubility is low. Accordingly, when the alloy is heated while it is amorphous, iron atoms or copper atoms tend to gather to form clusters, thereby producing compositional fluctuation. This produces a lot of domains likely to be crystallized to provide nuclei for generating fine crystalline particles. These crystalline particles are based on Fe, and since Cu is substantially not soluble in Fe, Cu is ejected from the fine crystalline particles, whereby the Cu content in the vicinity of the crystalline particles becomes high. This presumably suppresses the growth of crystalline particles.
- the crystalline particles are made fine, and this phenomenon is accelerated by the inclusion of Nb, Ta, W, Mo, Zr, Hf, Ti, etc.
- the crystalline particles are not fully made fine and thus the soft magnetic properties of the resulting alloy are poor.
- Nb and Mo are effective, and particularly Nb acts to keep the crystalline particles fine, thereby providing excellent soft magnetic properties.
- the Fe-base soft magnetic alloy has smaller magnetostriction than Fe-base amorphous alloys, which means that the Fe-base soft magnetic alloy has smaller magnetic anisotropy due to internal stress-strain, resulting in improved soft magnetic properties.
- the crystalline particles are unlikely to be made fine. Instead, a compound phase is likely to be formed and crystallized, thereby deteriorating the magnetic properties.
- Si and B are elements particularly for making fine the alloy structure.
- the Fe-base soft magnetic alloy is desirably produced by once forming an amorphous alloy with the addition of Si and B, and then forming fine crystalline particles by heat treatment.
- the content of Si ("y”) and that of B ("z") are 0 ⁇ y ⁇ 30 atomic %, 0 ⁇ z ⁇ 25 atomic %, and 5 ⁇ y+z ⁇ 30 atomic %, because the alloy would have an extremely reduced saturation magnetic flux density if otherwise.
- the preferred range of y is 6-25 atomic %, and the preferred range of z is 2-25 atomic %, and the preferred range of y+z is 14-30 atomic %.
- the resulting alloy has a relatively large magnetostriction under the condition of providing good soft magnetic properties, and when y is less than 6 atomic %, sufficient soft magnetic properties are not necessarily obtained.
- the reasons for limiting the content of B ("z") is that when z is less than 2 atomic %, uniform crystalline particle structure cannot easily be obtained, somewhat deteriorating the soft magnetic properties, and when z exceeds 25 atomic %, the resulting alloy would have a relatively large magnetostriction under the heat treatment condition of providing good soft magnetic properties.
- the contents of Si and B are 10 ⁇ y ⁇ 25, 3 ⁇ z ⁇ 18 and 18 ⁇ y+z ⁇ 28, and this range provides the alloy with excellent soft magnetic properties, particularly a saturation magnetostriction in the range of -5 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 ⁇ +5 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6.
- Particularly preferred ranges are 11 ⁇ y ⁇ 24, 3 ⁇ z ⁇ 9 and 18 ⁇ y+z ⁇ 27, and this range provides the alloy with a saturation magnetrostriction in the range of -1.5 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 ⁇ +1.5 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 8.
- M' when added together with Cu, acts to make the precipitated crystalline particles fine.
- M' is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Nb, W, Ta, Zr, Hf, Ti and Mo. These elements have a function of elevating the crystallization temperature of the alloy. Synergistically with Cu having a function of forming clusters and thus lowering the crystallization temperature, Nb, etc. suppress the growth of the precipitated crystalline particles, thereby making them fine.
- the content of M' ( ⁇ ) is 0.1-30 atomic %. When it is less than 0.1 atomic %, sufficient effect of making crystalline particles fine cannot be obtained, and when it exceeds 30 atomic % an extreme decrease in saturation magnetic flux density ensues.
- the preferred content of M′ is 0.1-10 atomic %, and more preferably ⁇ is 2-8 atomic %, in which range particularly excellent soft magnetic properties are obtained.
- most preferable as M′ is Nb and/or Mo, and particularly Nb in terms of magnetic properties.
- the addition of M′ provides the Fe-base soft magnetic alloy with as high permeability as that of the Co-base, high-permeability materials.
- M ⁇ which is at least one element selected from the group consisting of V, Cr, Mn, Al, elements in the platinum group, Sc, Y, rare earth elements, Au, Zn, Sn and Re, may be added for the purposes of improving corrosion resistance or magnetic properties and of adjusting magnetostriction, but its content is at most 10 atomic %. When the content of M ⁇ exceeds 10 atomic %, an extreme decrease in a saturation magnetic flux density ensues. A particularly preferred amount of M ⁇ is 5 atomic % or less.
- At least one element selected from the group consisting of Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, Pt, Au, Cr and V is capable of providing the alloy with particularly excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance, thereby making it suitable for magnetic heads, etc.
- the Fe-base soft magnetic alloy may contain 10 atomic % or less of at least one element X selected from the group consisting of C, Ge, P, Ga, Sb, In, Be, As. These elements are effective for making the alloy amorphous, and when added with Si and B, they help make the alloy amorphous and also are effective for adjusting the magnetostriction and Curie temperature of the alloy.
- the general ranges of a, x, y, z and ⁇ are 0 ⁇ a ⁇ 0.5 0.1 ⁇ x ⁇ 3 0 ⁇ y ⁇ 30 0 ⁇ z ⁇ 25 5 ⁇ y+z ⁇ 30 0.1 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 30, and the preferred ranges thereof are 0 ⁇ a ⁇ 0.3 0.1 ⁇ x ⁇ 3 0 ⁇ y ⁇ 25 2 ⁇ z ⁇ 25 14 ⁇ y+z ⁇ 30 0.1 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 10, and the more preferable ranges are 0 ⁇ a ⁇ 0.1 ⁇ x ⁇ 2 10 ⁇ y ⁇ 25 3 ⁇ z ⁇ 18 18 ⁇ y+z ⁇ 28 2 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 8, and the most preferable ranges are
- These crystalline particles are based on ⁇ -Fe having a bcc structure, in which Si and B, etc. are dissolved. These crystalline particles have an extremely small average particle size of 1000 ⁇ or less, and are uniformly distributed in the alloy structure.
- the average particle size of the crystalline particles is determined by measuring the maximum size of each particle and averaging them. When the average particle size exceeds 1000 ⁇ , good soft magnetic properties are not obtained. It is preferably 500 ⁇ or less, more preferably 200 ⁇ or less and particularly 50-200 ⁇ .
- the remaining portion of the alloy structure other than the fine crystalline particles may be mainly amorphous. Even with fine crystalline particles occupying substantially 100% of the alloy structure, the Fe-base soft magnetic alloy has sufficiently good magnetic properties.
- an alloy melt of the above composition is rapidly quenched by known liquid quenching methods such as a single roll method, a double roll method, etc. to form amorphous alloy ribbons.
- amorphous alloy ribbons produced by the single roll method, etc. have a thickness of 5-100 ⁇ m or so, and those having a thickness of 25 ⁇ m or less are particularly suitable as magnetic core materials for use at high frequency.
- amorphous alloys may contain crystal phases, but the alloy structure is preferably amorphous to make sure the formation of uniform fine crystalline particles by a subsequent heat treatment.
- the Fe-base soft magnetic alloy containing fine crystalline particles can be produced directly by the liquid quenching method without resorting to heat treatment, as long as proper conditions are selected.
- the amorphous ribbons are wound, punched, etched or subjected to any other working to desired shapes before heat treatment, for the reasons that the ribbons have good workability in an amorphous state, but that once crystallized they lose such workability.
- the heat treatment is carried out by heating the amorphous alloy ribbon worked to have the desired shape in vacuum or in an inert gas atmosphere such as hydrogen, nitrogen, argon, etc.
- the temperature and time of the heat treatment vary depending upon the composition of the amorphous alloy ribbon and the shape and size of a magnetic core made from the amorphous alloy ribbon, etc., but in general it is preferably 450-700°C for 5 minutes to 24 hours.
- the heat treatment temperature is lower than 450 °C, crystallization is unlikely to take place with ease, requiring too much time for the heat treatment.
- it exceeds 700°C coarse crystalline particles tend to be formed, making it difficult to obtain fine crystalline particles.
- the preferred heat treatment conditions are, taking into consideration practicality and uniform temperature control, etc., 500-650°C for 5 minutes to 6 hours.
- the heat treatment atmosphere is preferably an inert gas atmosphere, but it may be an oxidizing atmosphere such as the air. Cooling may be carried out properly in the air or in a furnace. And the heat treatment may be conducted by a plurality of steps.

- a magnetic field is applied in parallel to the magnetic path of the magnetic core of the present invention in the heat treatment step, the resulting heat-treated magnetic core has a good squareness ratio in a B-H curve thereof, so that it is particularly suitable for saturable reactors, magnetic switches, pulse compression cores, reactors for preventing spike voltage, etc.
- the heat treatment is conducted while applying a magnetic field in perpendicular to the magnetic path of a magnetic core, the B-H curve inclines, providing it with a small squareness ratio and a constant permeability. Thus, it has a wider operational range and thus is suitable for transformers, noise filters, choke coils, etc.
- the magnetic field need not be applied always during the heat treatment, and it is necessary only when the alloy is at a temperature lower than the Curie temperature Tc thereof.
- the alloy has an elevated Curie temperature because of crystallization than the amorphous counterpart, and so the heat treatment in a magnetic field can be carried out at temperature higher than the Curie temperature of the corresponding amorphous alloy.
- the heat treatment in a magnetic field it may be carried out by two or more steps.
- a rotational magnetic field can be applied during the heat treatment.
- the magnetic core of the present invention preferably has a saturation magnetic flux density B s of 10kG or more and effective permeability ⁇ elkHz of 5 ⁇ 103 or more.
- the heating test can be conducted in a constant-temperature furnace.
- This change ratio X should be 0.3 or less, and is preferably 0.1 or less and more preferably 0.05 or less.
- the magnetic core has saturation magnetostriction ⁇ s of +5 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 ⁇ -5 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6, and more particularly +1.5 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 ⁇ -1.5 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6.
- a saturable reactor By using the Fe-base soft magnetic alloy having the above composition and characteristics, a saturable reactor, a semiconductor circuit reactor, a common mode choke, a normal mode choke, a high-frequency transformer, a motor core, etc. can be provided.
- the magnetic core for both reactors should have a squareness ratio B r /B10 of a DC B-H curve which is desirably 70% or more and particularly 80% or more.
