Abstract Scope |
Soft magnetic composites (SMCs) are a class of magnetic materials that have the potential to create lighter and more efficient electronic devices. SMCs provide high electrical resistivity while providing high magnetic permeability. Until recently, with advances in powder metallurgy, devices needing materials with these properties have been made by complex and geometrically limited laminations or press-and-sinter methods. However, additive manufacturing can serve as a potential manufacturing route for SMCs, presenting new device designs opportunities, cost savings, and reduction in material usage. This talk discusses the use of laser-based 3D printing methods to produce SMCs that exhibit lower or equivalent core loss than that of SMCs with similar composition but produced by conventional powder metallurgy methods. The magnetic properties of these 3D printed SMCs are discussed in the context of microstructural and compositional characterization. Our results highlight both the advantages and limitations of 3D printing for SMC development. |
