Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An internally segmented magnet is disclosed. The magnet may include a first layer of a permanent magnetic material, a second layer of a permanent magnetic material, and an insulating layer separating the first and second layers. The insulating layer may include a ceramic mixture of at least a first ceramic material and a second ceramic material. The mixture having a melting point of up to 1,100° C. and may be a eutectic, or near eutectic, composition. The magnet may be formed by forming a first layer of powdered permanent magnetic material, depositing an insulating layer over the first layer, depositing a second layer of powdered permanent magnetic material over the insulating layer to form an internally segmented magnet stack, and sintering the magnet stack. The ceramic materials may include a halogen and an alkaline earth metal, alkali metal, or a metal having a +3 or +4 oxidation state.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An internally segmented magnet, comprising: first and second layers of a permanent magnetic material; and an insulating layer separating the first and second layers and consisting of a binary ceramic mixture including 30% to 70% CaF 2 and 30% to 70% MgF 2 , and about 5 wt. % iron to about 15 wt. % iron.
