High permeability and bimodal resonance structure of flaky soft magnetic composite materials

We establish a theoretical bimodal model for the complex permeability of flaky soft magnetic composite materials to explain the variability of their initial permeability.The new model is motivated by finding the two natural resonance peaks to be inconsistent with the combination of the domain wall resonance and the natural resonance.In the derivation of the model,two relationships are explored:the first one is the relationship between the number of magnetic domains and the permeability,and the second one is the relationship between the natural resonance and the domain wall resonance.This reveals that the ball milling causes the number of magnetic domains to increase and the maximum initial permeability to exist after 10 h of ball milling.An experiment is conducted to demonstrate the reliability of the proposed model.The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical calculations.This new model is of great significance for studying the mechanism and applications of the resonance loss for soft magnetic composite materials in high frequency fields.

Electromagnetic Characteristics and Corrosion Resistance of New Magnetosoft Materials Based on Capsulated Iron Powders

A new method of depositing an insulating multifunctional oxide coating on metal particles was developed.Such coatings increase corrosion resistance and insulate metal particles from each other.On base of capsulated by oxide coating water-atomized iron powder ASC100.29,new composite soft magnetic materials were synthesized,which are able of replacing electrical steel in devices.Structural,electromagnetic properties and corrosion characte-ristics of the obtained composites were studied.It was found that the synthesized composite materials have low elec-tromagnetic losses,high values of magnetic induction(up to 2.1 T)and good corrosion resistance.The results demon-strate that the use of such materials in power supplies,c hokes,transformers,stators and rotors of electric machines and other products ensures their stable operation under various conditions.

3D printed labyrinth multiresonant composite metastructure for broadband and strong microwave absorption

Microwave absorbers(MAs)with broadband and strong microwave absorption capacities are urgently required to meet the demands of complex electromagnetic(EM)environments.Herein,a novel labyrinth multiresonant metastructure composed of a polyether-ether-ketone/flaky carbonyl iron(PEEK/CIP)magnetic composite was proposed and fabricated via 3D printing technology.A complex multiresonant cavity design was introduced,and the resonant loss area was significantly improved.Both broadband and high-efficiency microwave absorption performances were achieved.The multilayer labyrinth multiresonant metastructure was designed with gradient impedance.The effects of structural parameters on the absorbing properties were investigated and optimized.Experiments and simulations demonstrated the effectiveness of the design strategy.The designed metastructure with a 10 mm thickness exhibited a-10 dB absorption bandwidth at a frequency of 3.78–40 GHz and an absorption bandwidth below-15 dB at 7.5–36.5 GHz.Moreover,an excellent wide-angle absorption performance was observed for different polarization states,including transverse electric(TE)and transverse magnetic(TM)modes.The combination of a complex multiresonant metastructure design and 3D printing fabrication provides a facile route to considerably extend the absorption bandwidth and strength of electromagnetic absorbers.This work is expected to provide a promising strategy for further enhancing microwave absorption performance,and the designed metastructure possesses great application potential in stealth and electromagnetic compatibility technologies.
