A Ferrite Tubular Linear Motor (FTLM): Analysis and design
2015
The electromagnetic linear machines have wide applications in the electromagnetic aircraft launch systems [1] and in transportation systems [2]. Additional energy saving and efficiency can be achieved using a linear motor in the refrigeration application [3]. Linear electromagnetic machines are also very suitable for high-speed packaging, manufacturing sectors and precision positioning. There are different linear motor topologies. Tubular permanent-magnets are particularly attractive since they have a high thrust force density and high efficiency, no end windings, and zero net attractive force between stator and armature. There are various tubular motor topologies, in which the armature may…
Non-Linear Inductors Characterization in Real Operating Conditions for Power Density Optimization in SMPS
2021
The exploitation of power inductors outside their linear region in switching converters can be achieved by raising the current until a decreasing of the inductance can be noticed. It allows using a smaller magnetic core increasing the power density of the converter. On the other hand, a detailed description of the magnetization curve including the temperature is required. Since this information is often not included in the inductor’s datasheets, this paper shows how to identify the behavior of an inductor when it is operated up to saturation and its temperature rises. In order to characterize the inductor in real operating conditions, a dedicated measurement rig has been developed. It consi…
Analysis of the oxidation process and mechanical evolution in nanosized copper spinel ferrites. Role of stresses on the coercivity
1997
Isothermal oxidations of the iron(II) and copper(I) cations in nanosized copper spinel ferrites which were oxidized in cation-deficient spinels have been studied by thermogravimetric analysis. The low temperature kinetics of oxidation of each oxidizable cation has been explained on the basis of a diffusion-induced stress effect, these stresses being generated in the ferrite particles by the chemical gradient induced during the oxidation process where the cations at the surface are more oxidized than those in the bulk. A reaction mechanism coupling the chemical and the mechanical effects has been proposed. When the Cu-ferrites contain some Co-cations, it has also been revealed that the stres…
The role of the effect of manufacturing tolerances on a tubular linear ferrite motor
2015
Electric machines are often designed without considering workmanship and materials tolerances. Their manufacturing process involves a series of steps, starting with raw materials and ending with the machine assembly. In each of these steps occur deviations due, for instance, to mistakes in positioning tools or to the tolerances in the electrical and magnetic characteristics of the materials. These deviations may cause unwanted parasitic effects such as torque ripple, losses or acoustic noise. Such effects have to be considered especially in machines used in industrial drives for high performance applications. Moreover the tolerances in the magnetic materials have a considerable effect on th…
Valence states of copper in copper ferrite spinels CuxFe3−xO4 (0 < x ≤ 1) fine powders: Evidence of copper insertion
1997
Abstract The oxidation in cation deficient spinels of copper iron spinels Cu x Fe 3− x O 4 (0 x ≤ 1) synthesized by soft chemistry with a grain size x per mole of ferrite, three oxidation phenomena corresponding to Cu + at B-sites (130°C), Fe 2+ at B-sites (180°C) and Cu + at A-sites (240°C) have been found in close relation with the cation-oxygen distance of each oxidizable cation. For nonstoichiometric synthesized spinels Cu x Fe 3− x O 4+ δ with δ x , the presence of additional interstitial Cu + ions has been envisaged. The oxidation temperature of these interstitial ions (> 300°C) is higher than that for Cu + ions at Asites suggesting that interstitial copper ions also essentially resid…
Exploring wet chemistry approaches to ZnFe2O4 spinel ferrite nanoparticles with different inversion degrees: A comparative study
2019
Zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) spinel nanocrystals were synthesised through three different low-temperature routes, namely hydrothermal, combined miniemulsion/hydrothermal, and microwave-assisted non-aqueous sol–gel synthesis. With the aim of studying the influence of the respective approach on the structural evolution of the compounds during the synthetic process, the samples were prepared with different processing times. The resulting nanoparticles were inspected with a wide range of analytical techniques, both with regards to the local (X-ray absorption spectroscopy – XAS) and the long-range (Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction – XRD) order.
Influence of M23C6 carbides on the heterogeneous strain development in annealed 420 stainless steel
2020
Understanding the local strain enhancement and lattice distortion resulting from different microstructure features in metal alloys is crucial in many engineering processes. The development of heterogeneous strain not only plays an important role in the work hardening of the material but also in other processes such as recrystallization and damage inheritance and fracture. Isolating the contribution of precipitates to the development of heterogeneous strain can be challenging due to the presence of grain boundaries or other microstructure features that might cause ambiguous interpretation. In this work a statistical analysis of local strains measured by electron back scatter diffraction and …
Solid-state compatibility of Ca:LaNbO4 with perovskite cathodes: Evidences from X-ray microspectroscopy
2022
The solid-state compatibility between calcium-doped lanthanum niobate and three perovskite cathode materials was investigated using two X-ray microbeam techniques, micro X-ray fluorescence and micro X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The cathode powders (lanthanum strontium ferrite, either cobalt or copper-doped, and lanthanum strontium cobaltite) in contact with the dense electrolyte pellet were annealed at 1150 degrees C for 12-144 h to simulate the effect of thermal stresses due to fabrication and long-term operation. As a result, several interdiffusion phenomena were then observed on the bilayer cross-sections: in particular, the chemical state and coordination environment of calcium, iron,…
Magnetic Disaccommodation in Manganese Ferrites in the Temperature Region IV
1991
The magnetic relaxation in polycrystalline, nonstoichiometric manganese ferrite samples MnxFe3−xO4 is investigated as a function of the Mn content (0 ≦ x ≦ 1). The analysis of the experimental results shows that in the temperature region IV two different relaxation processes at 285 (IV) and 220 K (IVa) can be distinguished. The process IV exhibits orientational relaxation characteristics and is composed by the superposition of two Debye processes with activation energies close to 0.75 and 0.80 eV whereas relaxation IV a could be associated with vacancy migration through the lattice, but future investigations are necessary to probe this. Es wird die magnetische Relaxation in polykristallinen…
Magnetic Soret effect in a hydrocarbon based colloid containing surfacted Mn–Zn ferrite particles
1999
Abstract The Soret effect has been investigated in a hydrocarbon based magnetic fluid containing surfacted Mn 0.5 Zn 0.5 Fe 2 O 4 nanoparticles with a magnetic volume concentration of 2.3%. The magnetic fluid fills up a vertical diffusion column which consists of a flat vertical channel between two walls and two reservoirs at the ends of the channel. One wall of the channel is being heated while the another one is cooled, maintaining a temperature gradient over the channel's width that leads to separation of particles due to the Soret effect as well as the convective flow in the channel. The combination of the two mentioned effects brings up a measurable change of the concentration of magne…
