Ti-Mo-47.4vol%TiC alloys were prepared through P/M technology and their microstructures and mechanical properties were investigated as a function of the mixed amounts of Mo. Ti-(2.6vol%-16.4vol%)Mo-TiC alloys had higher relative density values than 97%. Ti-TiC alloy has TiC phase, α-Ti phase and β-Ti phase, while Ti-(2.6vol%-27.0vol%)Mo-TiC alloys have TiC phase and β-Ti phase. The contents of TiC phase in alloy were increased compared with the amounts of mixed TiC, while they were decreased with the increase of the mixed amounts of Mo. Mean diameter of TiC grains in the alloy is increased with the increase of sintering temperature, while it is decreased remarkably with the increase of mixed amounts of Mo. Hardness and transverse-rupture strength of these alloys were slightly affected by mixed amounts of Mo. Corrosion resistance of Ti-(2.6vol%-8.5vol%)Mo-TiC alloys were thought to be excellent. It was concluded that Ti-(2.6vol%-8.5vol%)Mo-47.4vol%TiC alloys have better combination of hardness, transverse-rupture strength and corrosion resistance than those of the other alloys.

Aligning behavior of magnetically anisotropic Nd-Fe-B powder under compaction in magnetic field was studied in order to produce high energy bonded magnets composed of this powder and an epoxy resin binder. It was previously reported that applying a strong magnetic field to the powder before the compaction operation is very effective to make highly oriented bonded magnets. In this study, influence of applying a static magnetic field after charging the pulsed field was investigated with regard to the powder alignment. It was found that the degree of powder orientation is strongly dependent on the duration of the static magnetic field in the compaction process. The static field is thought to maintain the powder arrangement formed by the initial pulsed field.

Rare earth bonded magnets with versatility on shaping and high density, composed of isotropic Nd-Fe-B powder and thermoplastic resin (Nylon-12, PBT and PPS), were developed with warm compression molding.
(1) Compounds with magnet powder volume fraction of 80vol.%, composed PBT or Nylon-12, have versatility on shaping and compressibility at relatively low pressure. Coin-shaped magnets with a thickness of 0.3mm and ring magnets with a wall-thickness of 0.4mm were moldable with these compounds at the pressure of 250MPa. The properties of these bonded magnets were as follows: pore=0vol.% in substance, density =6.2Mg/m
3 and (BH)max=97.9kJ/m
3 (12.3MGOe).
(2) Compounds with magnet powder volume fraction of 90vol.% have higher compressibility than the compounds for compaction molding at high pressure. This is because that viscosity of resin during the molding is easy to optimize and spring-back after molding is small in warm compression molding. The properties of the magnet were as follows: density=6.7Mg/m
3 and (BH)max=115kJ/m
3 (14.4MGOe) at pressure of 1250MPa.
In this way, warm compression molding is applicable to extensive compounds through adjusting the molding condition.

The present work focused on developping textile microstructure and improving magnetic properties of the 3Y-ZrO
2/Ba-hexaferrite composite by post-plastic deformation. In summary,
A 3Y-ZrO
2/Ba-hexaferrite composite has been fabricated by powder metallurgical processes. Because BaFe
12O
19 particles behave like "small magnets", agglomerated particles (5 to 10μm) were observed in the composite. However, they homogeneously dispersed in the TZP matrix from a macroscopic viewpoint.
The deformation mechanism of the composite at 1200-1300° was very likely associated with the dislocation motion of the relatively large hexaferrite particles. The composite had sufficient deformability at low flow stress.
Post-plastic deformation on the composite improved both saturation magnetization and coercivity, probably due to the alignment of the hexaferrite platelet particles. In order to obtain good magnetic properties for magnetic-particlesdispersed composites, the post-plastic deformation can be a new complemental technique to the conventional slurry pressing under the magnetic field.

The green bodies were sintered at the range of 1100 to 1250°C for 4 to 8 hours in air, thereafter cooled in nitrogen atmosphere.
The crystals of sintered manganese zinc ferrites were strongly oriented to the direction of {111} plane of the spinel, which was all formed along the upper plane of troidal cores. The behavior of crystal growth was similar to that of manganese zinc ferrite single crystal. The initial permeability of crystal oriented manganese zinc ferrites was 1380 at 0.1MHz and it was not allowed to decay up to 2.2 MHz at the operating condition of the 3dB decrease of the initial permeability. The high crystal orientation and suitable grain size has greatly contributed to the improvement of magnetic properties.

The sample made of Mn

4 indicated an excellent frequency dependency for initial permeability and core loss. Moreover the homogeneity of cation configuration in the spinel structure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The result of homogercity of rile spinet structural coincided with the arlalytical results of temperature dependence of magnetization.
Furthermore, the influence of manganese oxide as starting material, on homogeneity of spinel structure was examined by using thermogravimetry - differential thermal analysis.
It may be concluded that the reaction between Mn

Ferric oxide which is a principal raw material for ferrite production usually contains small amount of anion as impurities. Because ferric oxide has been generally produced from iron chloride or iron sulfate solutions obtained from pickled liquor, in this paper, we have investigated the effect of chloride ions on the formation of Mg, Zn, Cu and Mn ferrites. Mg ferrite and Zn ferrite are shown that the spinel phase is formed at lower temperature in the case of iron oxide containing a small amount of chloride ions compared with that case of sulfate ions. On the other hand, Cu ferrite and Mn ferrite are shown that the spinel phase is formed at same temperature in the case of iron oxide containing chloride ions. The reason of the low temperature formation of Mg and Zn ferrites may be due to the formation of an active magnesium chloride of some kind of zinc chloric acid in the course of calcination.

The effects of substitution of Mn

3 for Fe
2O
3 Or CuO for MgO in MgZn ferrite have been studied in order to achieve low core loss, focusing on the microstructure, the initial permeability and the resistivity of MnZn, MnMgZn, and MnMgCuZn ferrites.
Initial permeability and resistivity of both MnMgZn and MnMgCuZn ferrites are higher than those of MgZn ferrite. Intragrain pores were observed in all of these ferrites. The pore density increases with grain growth.
The core loss of these ferrites consists of hysteresis loss and eddy current loss at frequencies lower than 120kHz. Hysteresis loss clearly depends on initial permeability because of magnetic anisotropy, grain size and pore density. It has been found that eddy current loss is related to the microstructure and not to the resistivity. It is suggested that the decrease in the amount of pores inside the grains is effective to lower hysteresis and eddy current losses.
Substitution of Cu enables MgZn ferrite to be sintered at lower temperatures, and it leads to the reduction of the core loss because of the formation of fine microstructure having small grain and low pore density. The lowest core loss (320kW/m
3 at 100°C, 100mT and 100kHz) was achieved in the case of 11mol% CuO material sintered at 1120°C.

The iron-silicon-aluminum alloys (especially Sendust) have been widely used for the application requiring high saturation flux density, low coercive force and high electric resistivity. For this reason they have been appreciated for magnetic thin film heads. However, they are too hard and brittle to be made into thin film by rolling or to prepare three dimensional complex-shaped products by mechanical work or conventional powder metallurgy process. The reduction in the size and weight of apparatus that can be accomplished by its use should have an important effect on technical developments. Previous study showed that the powder metallurgy process with spray drying method using gas atomized Sendust powders was an excellent process for producing near-net-shape parts with high performance and high precision in dimension after sintering. The high price of gas atomized powders, however, makes us consider to use low price powders. In this report the combined powders of carbonyl iron powder, iron-silicon powder crushed and iron-aluminum powder crushed can promise to reduce the cost and maintain the high performance.

The objective of this study is firstly to elucidate the effect of geometrical defect (artificial semi/full slit) on magnetic properties and secondly to evaluate the magnetic restoration by ferromagnetic paste filling to slit for the 4-types of soft magnetic materials. In this case, ferromagnetic pastes consist of the mixture of water-atomized powder of almost the same type (as specimen) and binding agent.
The results obtained were summarized as follows:
(1) DC magnetic properties are more or less degraded by semi/full slit, where magnetic induction (B) are less degraded in comparison with maximum permeability (μm), especially for high-μ permalloy.
(2) AC magnetic properties, especially, specific permeability (μa) are degraded nearly in the same way as DC ones in low frequency range and less degraded at higher frequency (degradation ratio Δμa/μa<0.1, 100kHz).
(3) As for DC magnetic properties, magnetic induction (B) tends to be more restored than maximum permeability (μm) by ferromagnetic paste filling to slit, although fairly plot-scattered.
(4) AC magnetic properties at 60Hz also are enhanced upto restoration ratio Δμa'/Δμa-1/2 roughly by ferromagnetic paste filling to full slit, almost irrespectively of material type and slit width.
(5) This ferromagnetic paste method is more effective in DC or low frequency range due to the result that Δμa/μa is fixed small for semi slit and linearly decreases for full slit with rise of applied frequency.

The objective of this study is mainly to elucidate the effect of stress/strain on DC/AC magnetic properties for the 4-types of soft-magnetic materials with residual pores and without. Experimentally, DC/AC magnetic measurement of PM and C/W (Cast & Wrought) ring-shape specimens were carried out in radially loaded, unloaded and annealed states in consideration of elastic and plastic strain.
The result obtained were summarized as follows:
(1) DC magnetic properties, especially maximum permeability (μm) is more sensitive to stress/strain, where degradation ratio Δμm/μm is roughly 0.4 and 0.7-0.8 (strain ε=0.005) for pure iron and magnetic alloys, respectively.
(2) In this case, PM (porous) specimens tend to be more magnetically degraded than C/W (solid) ones, presumably due to localized microstrain arised by stress concentration effect around residual pores.
(3) As for AC magnetic properties, specific permeability (μa) is degraded in almost the same way as maximum permeability (μm) and also, core loss (Pcv) is apparently reduced by stress/strain, although depending on frequency (60Hz-100kHz).
(4) DC/AC magnetic properties (μm, μa) are partially restored in the range 0.1-0.2 of degradation ratio by stress relief (unloading) at higher strain (ε=0.02), including C/W specimens.
(5) Through strain relief annealing, DC/AC magnetic properties are restored to the original value at 873K for pure iron but are not always restored to the original ones even at 1073K for magnetic alloys.
