Structure and Properties of Composites Based on Mixed Morphology of Ferromagnetic Particles

Application potential of the soft magnetic composites increases with improvement of their functional properties. In addition to the magnetic properties, the mechanical properties of these materials are essential. The aim of this work was to investigate mechanical properties and their dependence on morphology of the ferromagnetic particles. Model composite based on Somaloy® and Vitroperm® powder was prepared using conventional powder metallurgy. The DC magnetic properties of composites based on two types of ferromagnetic particles with different shapes and structures are discussed in the relation with mechanical properties.
