The present application claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202011010514.7 entitled “Method for coating magnetic powder core with sodium silicate” filed on Sep. 23, 2020, in the China National Intellectual Property Administration, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of preparation of magnetic powder core, and in particular to a method for coating a magnetic powder core with sodium silicate.
Magnetic mateiials are widely used in the fields of electronics, computer and communication, and have radically changed our life nowadays. At present, due to the fact that magnetic particle cores have the advantages of relatively high magnetic flux density, good temperature stability and mechanical impact adaptability, they are widely used in micro-motors, inductive devices, fast drives and pulse transformers in fields such as aviation, automobile, and household appliances. However, conventional magnetic materials such as silicon-steel laminations also have some drawbacks during use. Under high frequency conditions, conventional soft magnetic materials such as silicon-steel laminations increase the energy loss due to the rapid rise of eddy currents, which increases the temperature of the motor and reduces the efficiency thereof. Based on the principle that reducing this eddy current phenomenon could improve the energy efficiency of soft magnetic materials, it is urgent to develop a new type of green and energy-saving soil magnetic material as the movement of electric equipment. Moreover, with the development of electronic components and electronic equipment, electrical appliances are becoming more and more integrated and miniaturized, which requires magnetic materials to have higher permeability and smaller losses.
In the conventional coating process, phosphoric acid is generally used as an insulating material, and an organic material is added as an adhesive, in which the powder particles have uneven coating on their surfaces and relatively large losses, and proportion of non-magnetic materials is greatly reduced, which results in poor DC bias performance. Furthermore, when used in an outdoor environment with a large change in temperature or humidity, the added organic adhesive easily becomes aged and has poor weatherability
In order to address the problems of uneven coating, relatively large losses, poor DC (direct-current) bias performance, organic adhesives being easily aged and having poor weatherability existing in the above conventional process for preparing a magnetic powder core by using phosphoric acid for coating and organic material as adhesives, the present disclosure provides a method for coating a magnetic powder core with sodium silicate.
The technical solution of the disclosure is realized as follows.

In some embodiments, in step 1, the polyoxyethylene laurylether phosphate is added in an amount of 0.1-3 wt % of the sodium silicate.
In some embodiments, in step 2, the lignosulfonate is added in an amount of 0.1-1 wt. % of the metal magnetic powder.
In some embodiments, the metal magnetic powder is one or more selected from the group consisting of pure Fe, FeSi, FeSiAl, FeSiNi, FeNi, FeNiMo, and FeSiCr, and has an average particle size of 10-200 μm.

In some embodiments, the insulating adhesive added in step 5 is one or more selected from the group consisting of silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, and calcium oxide, and has a particle size of 10 μm or less.
In some embodiments, in step 5, the stearate is one or more selected from the group consisting of zinc stearate, aluminum stearate, and lithium stearate.
In some embodiments, a shape formed by the compression molding in step 6 is one of annular, E-shaped, and U-shaped.
In some embodiments, in step 3, the amount of the sodium silicate solution added is replaced by 20 wt % of the metal magnetic powder.
