Abstract This paper discusses the influence of the Particle Size Distribution (PSD) of the nanocrystalline Fe-based granular-soft-magnetic material on the final magnetic properties of a Magnetic Powder Core (MPC). Here we show how PSD impacts the final magnetic properties. Mixing fine and coarse particles, with a dominance of coarse particles, significantly influences the magnetic permeability increase of the core. Better magnetic features are noted for MPCs constructed with certain mass ratio of fine and coarse particles due to improvement in the magnetic path in the cores. This allows to offer new induction components to industry.

Separation Density

The effect of different particle size distribution of Fe-6.5 wt%Si powder on the microstructure and soft magnetic properties of the corresponding soft magnetic powder cores (SMPCs) was investigated. By optimizing particle size distribution, the density of SMPCs increased and the total core loss significantly decreased. According to the result of loss separation, density of SMPCs is inversely proportional to hysteresis loss, while with increasing the content of the fine particles, the eddy current loss significantly decreased. It was found that with magnetic powder of particle size-grading as 10%, 10%, 60%, and 20% for particles with size between −75 to +38, −38 to +23, −23 to +13, and −13 μm, respectively, the Fe-6.5 wt%Si SMPCs exhibit optimal comprehensive magnetic performances with the effective permeability of about 60, the percent permeability at 100 Oe is up to 70%, and the lowest core loss of 553 mW/cm3.

The paper examines the importance of size distribution of the influent suspension on the performance of deep bed filters and its significance with regard to modelling. Experiments were carried out under a variety of conditions using suspensions which were identical in every respect apart from their size distribution. The results indicate that the presence of coarse particles does increase the removal of fine particles. Deposition of fine particles leads to a greater headloss than deposition of large particles. Changes in size distribution with time and depth play an important role in determining the behaviour of a filter, and models of both removal and headloss development must take account of this.

Refractory Castables

The success of a refractory castable is largely due to the quality of its properties and ease of application. Self-flow refractory castables (SFRC), with high flowability index (>130%), can be easily accommodated in a mould without the application of external energy, being ideal for the manufacture of monolithic linings. SFRC castables without cement require a matrix of very fine particles, which guarantees improved rheological behaviour and performs the role of the binder in the absence of the refractory cement. The presence of the aggregate (coarse particles) hinders the flowability index, but improves the castable mechanical strength and reduces firing shrinkage, and also contributes to the reduction of the castable costs. The control of the maximum paste thickness (MPT) allows the reduction of the coarse particles interference, minimizing the number of contact points among the grains and avoiding the formation of an aggregate skeleton that impairs the flowability of the mixture. In the present work, 100% alumina SFRCs without cement were produced with a fixed matrix of fine particles, whose particle size distribution was optimized using statistical techniques (mixtures design and triangular response surfaces). Different aggregate particle size distributions were used, with several MPT values, with the objective of evaluating which was the mean distance that maximized the flowability index, simultaneously ensuring good mechanical strength for the refractory castable. Ensuring a minimum surface area of 2.22m2/g, the mixtures reach the self-flow turning point with a minimum water content and the maximum flowability is obtained for an aggregate particle size distribution modulus of q=0.22, and consequently an optimized MPT value. SFRC with high mechanical strength (>60MPa) were obtained.

An electric arc discharge in de-ionised water between a solid graphite cathode and an anode made by compressing Ni and C containing powders in a mass ratio of Ni:C = 7:3 was used here to prepare carbon encapsulated Ni nanoparticles in the form of powder suspended in water. The morphology of the produced material was analysed using high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The magnetic properties of the samples were determined using a Princeton vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Collection of the powder produced from different depths in the water container has proved to be an effective method for obtaining samples with narrow particle size distribution. Further material purification by dry NH4 plasma etching was used to remove the amorphous carbon content of the samples. XRD and HRTEM analysis showed that the material synthesized is fcc Ni particles with mean particle size ranging from 14 to 30 nm encapsulated in 2 to 5 graphitic cages. The data suggests that the process reported has the ability to mass-produce carbon encapsulated ferromagnetic nanoparticles with desired particle size distribution, and hence with controlled size-dependent magnetic properties.

The Relationship

The particle size distribution characteristics of runoff sediments are vital for understanding the effect of the mechanism of soil erosion on slopes. The objective of this study was to investigate the particle-size distribution of sediments eroded from slopes covered by different litter coverage masses under artificial rainfall simulation. Litter was spread on the surface of a soil tank according to different biomasses (0 g·m−2, 100 g·m−2, 200 g·m−2 and 400 g·m−2). The mean weight diameter (MWD), fractal dimension (D) and enrichment ratio (ER) are characteristic parameters of sediment particle size. The MWD and D were more sensitive to soil erosion and had a significant negative correlation with the slope angle and rainfall intensity. The performance of the MWD on the slope (5°) was less than the MWD on the slope (10°). The relationship between eroded sediment distribution characteristic parameters and the litter coverage mass had a significant influence on the content of coarse particles. The content of fine particles accelerated, decreased and then stabilized, whereas coarse particles increased first and then stabilized. The litter diameter and surface area were the main parameters that affected the MWD and D. Under different rain intensities and slopes, the ER varied inconsistently with litter coverage mass. Coarse particles were eroded easily and selectively, and soil erosion had no sorting effect on fine particles. These findings support the quantitative study of the relationship between the amount of litter coverage mass and the particle size of soil sediments.

Abstract The magnetic properties of Fe-based composite materials with different particle sizes were investigated. The results of energy loss density were obtained from measurements of the static (DC) hysteresis cycles ranging from 0,2 to 1,4 T. In turn, the results of power loss density were obtained from measurements of the dynamic (AC) hysteresis cycles ranging from 20 to 400 Hz and at the maximum flux density 0,3; 0,9 and 1,3 T. Two sets of specimens was analyzed in the investigation: the specimens compacted under pressure of 800 MPa and hardened at 500°C and the specimens compacted under different pressure and hardened at 500°C. Specimens of the second set had the same density. The study confirmed the influence of particle size distribution on magnetic properties of Fe-based soft magnetic composites.
