| Abstract Scope |
With growing interest in electrification from clean energy technologies, such as wind power, and the use of pure electric powertrains in various applications, the demand for next-generation, high-performance magnetic materials has risen significantly. Additive manufacturing (AM) opens up new avenues of improvements for industrial manufacturing of electrical machines via near-net-shape printing of complex geometries, reduction of parts count and production lead time, and conservation of expensive critical materials such as rare-earth magnets as well as nanocrystalline and amorphous soft magnetic composites (SMC), allowing their use in only critical regions required by desired properties of the printed parts. The magnetic, electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties of the magnetic materials are also greatly influenced by the selection of the AM method. In this work, the state of the art in printability and performance characteristics of soft and permanent magnetic materials for electric machines will be summarized and discussed. |
