Abstract
Soft magnetic composite is a promising second generation magnetic material. It is widely used in both DC and AC applications. In the present work, magnesium compound coated iron powder (M-SMC) was used to fabricate the toroid cores of size Ø 30 × Ø 20 × 10 mm by powder metallurgy route. All these toroid cores were cured at different temperatures ranging from 600°C to 1000°C for 30 min in argon atmosphere controlled furnace. The electrical and magnetic properties of toroid cores were analyzed by Impedance Analyzer and B-H Analyzer respectively. M-SMC core cured at 800°C showed improved electrical properties for operating frequency up to 12000 kHz whereas magnetic properties were limited to applied magnetic field of 800 A/m.
