Abstract

We have applied mechanical alloying (MA) to produce soft magnetic composite material using a mixture of elemental $Fe_2O_3$-Mg powders. An optimal milling and heat treatment conditions to obtain soft magnetic ${\alpha}$-Fe/MgO composite with fine microstructure were investigated by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurement. It is found that ${\alpha}$-Fe/MgO composite powders in which MgO is dispersed in ${\alpha}$-Fe matrix are obtained by MA of $Fe_2O_3$ with Mg for 30 min. The saturation magnetization of ball-milled powders increases with increasing milling time and reaches to a maximum value of 69.5 emu/g after 5 h MA. The magnetic hardening due to the reduction of the ${\alpha}$-Fe grain size by MA was also observed. Densification of the MA powders was performed in a spark plasma sintering (SPS) machine at $800{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$ under 60 MPa. X-ray diffraction result shows that the average grain size of ${\alpha}$-Fe in ${\alpha}$-Fe/MgO nanocomposite sintered at $800^{\circ}C$ is in the range of 110 nm.

본 연구에서는 $Fe_2O_3$-Mg계 혼합분말을 사용하여 연자성 복합재료를 제조하기 위하여 기계적 합금화법(MA)을 적용하였다. 초미세 조직을 가진 연자성 ${\alpha}$-Fe/MgO 복합재료를 얻기 위하여 X선 회절, 열분석 및 자기특성 측정을 통하여 최적 볼밀조건 및 열처리 조건을 조사하였다. $Fe_2O_3$와 순금속 Mg의 혼합분말을 30분 동안 MA 처리한 결과. ${\alpha}$-Fe 기지에 MgO가 분산된 ${\alpha}$-Fe/MgO 복합분말을 얻을 수 있었다. MA 분말시료의 자화값은 볼밀처리 시간에 따라 증가하여 MA 5시간 시료에서 69.5 emu/g의 최대값이 관찰되었다. 또한 MA 처리에 의하여 ${\alpha}$-Fe의 결정립 미세화와 함께 보자력이 증가하는 자기경화 현상이 관찰되었다. MA 분말시료의 벌크화를 위하여 소결온도 $800{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$, 압력 60 MPa에서 SPS 소결을 실시하였다. X선 회절 결과로부터, 5시간 MA 처리한 분말을 $800^{\circ}C$에서 SPS 소결시킨 ${\alpha}$-Fe/MgO 연자성 복합재료의 경우 ${\alpha}$-Fe상 평균 결정립 크기가 110 nm임을 알 수 있었다.
