Definitions
- This invention relates to an amorphous metal magnetic core with a distributed gap for electrical choke applications; and more particularly to a method for annealing the amorphous core to create the distributed gap therein.
- An electrical choke is an energy storage inductor.
- the magnetic flux in the air gap remains the same as in the ferromagnetic core material.
- the permeability of the air ⁇ l
- the gap can be discrete or distributed.
- a distributed gap can be introduced by using ferromagnetic powder held together with nonmagnetic binder or by partially crystallizing an amorphous alloy.
- an electrical choke is made based on heat treating Fe- base amorphous cores.
- the maximum permeability is reduced to between 1/50 and 1/30 of the original value, (for maximum permeability of 40,000 this treatment results in values ranging from about 800 and 1300) and the amorphous cores exhibit a degree of crystallization, which does not exceed 10% of the volume.
- the present invention provides electrical chokes having sizes ranging from about 8 mm to 45 mm OD with permeabilities in the range of 100 to 400 and low core losses (less than 70 W/kg at 100 kHz and 0. IT).
- the magnetic properties are maintained under DC bias (at least 40% of the initial permeability is maintained at a DC bias field of 3980 A m or 50 Oe ).
- the present invention a method for heat treating Fe base amorphous alloys in a controlled way to partially crystallize the bulk of the amorphous ribbon and generate microgaps in the cores. As a result of the distributed gaps, the aforementioned properties are achieved.
- the present invention requires certain annealing temperature and time parameters and degree of control of these parameters in order to achieve the desired choke properties.
- Figure 1 is a graph depicting the relation between the permeability of the core and the annealing temperature, the different curves describing material with different crystallization temperatures
- Figure 2 is a graph depicting the relation between the permeability of the cores and the annealing temperature for different annealing times;
- Figure 3 is a graph depicting the loading configuration of the cores for the annealing in order to achieve temperature uniformity within a few degrees;
- Figure 4 is a graph depicting core loss in W/kg of the cores as a function of the DC bias field and the frequency;
- Figure 5 is a graph depicting the permeability of the cores under DC bias field conditions
- Figure 6 depicts a typical cross-sectional Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) picture of the ribbon after the annealing; and Figure 7 describes the permeability as a function of the volume percent of crystallinity.
- SEM Scanning Electron Microscopy
- Fig. 1 depicts the permeability of the annealed Fe-base magnetic core as a function of the annealing temperature.
- the permeability was measured with an induction bridge at 10 kHz frequency , 8-turn jig and 100 mV ac excitation
- the annealing time was kept constant at 6 hrs. All the cores were annealed in an inert gas atmosphere.
- the different curves represent Fe-base alloys with small variations in the chemical composition and consequently small changes in their crystallization temperature.
- the crystallization temperatures were measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC).
- DSC Differential Scanning Calorimetry
- Fig. 2 depicts the permeability of the annealed Fe-base cores with the same chemical composition as a function of the annealing temperature.
- the different curves represent different annealing times. The plot indicates that for temperatures higher than 450 °C the effect of the annealing temperature dominates the effect of the annealing time.
- Typical magnetic characterization data for the chokes such as core loss and DC bias are shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
- the core loss data are plotted as a function of the DC bias field and the different curves represent different measuring frequencies.
- the data shown are for cores with 25 mm OD.
- An important parameter forthe choke performance is the percent of the initial permeability that remains when the core is driven by a DC bias field.
- Fig. 5 depicts a typical DC bias curve for a core having 35 mm OD.
- SEM scanning electron microscopy
- XRD XRD
- the volume percent of the crystallization was determined from both the SEM and XRD data and is plotted in Fig. 7 as a function of permeability. For permeabilities in the range of 100 to 400 bulk crystallization in the range of 5 to 30% is required.
