Soft magnetic composite (SMC) materials made of iron powder are more frequently used in construction of electric actuators and motors because of their advantages with respect to Fe–Si electric steel sheets and because they have almost no powder loss. The study deals with measurements of temperature and torque of a low-power rotary switched reluctance actuator, with reference to a commercial actuator and a prototype actuator characterized by stator and rotor cores made of soft magnetic composite materials. Further power loss analysis was also conducted. To assess the actuators, magnetization characteristics and iron loss vs. magnetic flux density at a given frequency were measured according to IEC standards. Results show that the actuator made of soft magnetic composites exhibits higher efficiency and a lower temperature rise of stator and windings in comparison with the commercial actuator.

To simulate the anisotropic hysteresis characteristics of soft magnetic composite (SMC) materials accurately, an improved vector hysteresis model was proposed and utilized to adjust the shape of hysteresis curves by introducing two parameters. These two parameters are correlated with the amplitude of the vector Everett function and the projection of magnetic flux density along different directions. An experimental platform was built to measure the two-dimensional (2-D) magnetic properties of the SMC material under rotational magnetizations. The scalar and vector Everett functions were constructed by the measured limiting hysteresis loops. A hybrid optimization strategy based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and Powell technique was proposed to identify the parameters of the improved model efficiently and precisely, which significantly improved the local optimization ability of the PSO algorithm. The simulated results strongly agree with the measured ones, and thus the effectiveness of the improved vector model and the parameter identification method proposed in this paper was verified.

In this paper, the effect of heat treatment processing on magnetic properties of Fe-3.5Si soft magnetic composite has been investigated. The thermal treatment improved the magnetic properties of Fe-3.5Si SMC materials. With the treatment temperature increasing, the permeability and eddy loss of the composites increase and the core loss and hysteresis loss decrease. The magnetic properties would be deteriorated at too high temperature. Annealed temperature at 750°C for 60min, the Fe-3.5Si soft magnetic composite has the optimum overall magnetic properties.

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the suitability of Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC) material SOMOLOY1000 for a Switched Reluctance Generator (SRG) through electromagnetic, thermal and vibration characteristics employing extensive Finite Element Analysis. The fabrication aspects of Soft Magnetic Composite Switched Reluctance Generator (SMC-SRG) using preform material blanks utilizing indigenous machining process have been delineated. The static and transient electromagnetic characteristics have been obtained through the electromagnetic finite element analysis software MagNet6.22.1 while the thermal and vibration aspects have been studied through coupled field Finite Element Analysis employing the multi physics software ANSYS10 while the Impulse hammers excitation - free vibration test using RT Pro Photon data acquisition system facilitated the experimental determination of vibration characteristics. The study concludes that the advantages of less weight , low torque ripple, low eddy current losses, reduction in vibration level of stator structure coupled with the ability to maintain precise mechanical dimensional tolerance may present SMC-SRG a viable candidate in standalone wind energy conversion systems meant for rural and remote area electrification scheme.
