Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A dust core is manufactured by compacting magnetic particles in a metal die while heating the magnetic particles at a predetermined temperature in the metal die. At least some of the magnetic particles are coated with coating material. The metal die comprises a die, an upper punch and a lower punch. The upper punch is positioned above the lower punch in an up-down direction. The metal die is provided with a low-temperature portion and a high-temperature portion. A temperature of the low-temperature portion is less than a temperature of the high-temperature portion by 10° C. or more.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A dust core including magnetic particles at least some of which are coated with coating material, wherein: the magnetic particles include nanocrystals; the dust core has a first surface, a second surface and a peripheral surface; the first surface faces in a first orientation of a predetermined direction; the second surface faces in a second orientation opposite to the first orientation; the peripheral surface intersects with a perpendicular direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction; and max(C1, C2, C)−min(C1, C2, C)≥1, where, C1 is a degree of crystallinity of the first surface, C2 is a degree of crystallinity of the second surface, and C is a degree of crystallinity of the peripheral surface. 2 . The dust core as recited in claim 1 , wherein max(C1, C2, C)=C.
