Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for manufacturing a magnetic grain compact, includes: providing multiple metal grains constituted by soft magnetic alloy containing Fe, Si, and a metal element M that oxidizes more easily than Fe; compacting the metal grains; and forming oxide film formed on a surface of the metal grains, and forming first bonding parts where adjacent metal grains are directly contacted and bonded together, and second bonding parts where adjacent metal grains are bonded together via the oxide film formed around the entire surface of said adjacent metal grains other than the first bonding parts, by applying heat treatment to the compacted metal grains, thereby obtaining a magnetic grain compact.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We/I claim: 1 . A method for manufacturing a magnetic grain compact, comprising: providing multiple metal grains constituted by soft magnetic alloy containing Fe, Si, and a metal element M that oxidizes more easily than Fe; compacting the metal grains; and forming oxide film on a surface of the metal grains, and forming first bonding parts where adjacent metal grains are directly contacted and bonded together by metal bonding, and second bonding parts where adjacent metal grains are bonded together by bonding of the oxide film formed around the entire surface of said adjacent metal grains other than the first bonding parts, by applying heat treatment to the compacted metal grains, thereby obtaining a magnetic grain compact. 2 . A method according to claim 2 , wherein the oxide film formed on the surface of the metal grains contains Fe and M. 3 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein a molar ratio of M relative to Fe in the oxide film is higher than a molar ratio of M relative to Fe in the metal grains. 4 . A method according to claim 3 , wherein the oxide film is formed by heat treatment performed in an oxidizing ambience. 5 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the grain compact contains voids formed in an area other than the first and second bonding parts and surrounded by the oxide film. 6 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein the metal grains before being compacted have a surface on which Fe exists as metal and also as oxide.
