| Abstract: |
M19 grade silicon steel is the most commonly used soft magnet for a number of applications such as in the manufature of motors. Advanced Materials Corporation proposes to fabricate new, proprietary magnet compositions and bonded magnets employing novel processing techniques. The saturation induction is anticipated to exceed the M19 value by greater than 25%. Magnetic, electrical and mechanical properties will be determined during Phase I. |
| Benefits: |
Successful fabrication of the soft magnets proposed in this effort will enable the design of lighter motors and actuators. This will impact military applications such as in EMALS. Commercial applications include computer disk drives and motors for hybrid electric vehicles. |
