Abstract:
Selective laser melting apparatus (2) is described that comprises a powder bed (6; 200; 300) onto which a powder layer (400; 500) can be deposited and a gas flow device (30) for passing a flow of gas over the powder bed along a predefined gas flow direction (G). A laser scanning unit (20) is provided for scanning a laser beam (22) over the powder layer (400; 500) to selectively solidify at least part of the powder layer (400; 500) to form a required pattern (402; 502). The required pattern (402; 502) may be formed from a plurality of stripes or stripe segments (S1-S12) that are formed by advancing the laser beam (22) along the stripe or stripe segment (S1-S12) in a stripe formation direction (L). The direction along which the laser beam (22) is moved is oriented relative to the gas flow direction (G) so as to substantially prevent any particles ejected during laser melting from being carried by the gas flow into regions of the scan path that have yet to be scanned
Abstract:
A method is disclosed of forming magnetically tunable photonic crystals comprising: synthesizing one or more precursory nanoparticles with anisotropic shapes; coating the one or more anisotropic precursory nanoparticles with silica to form composite structures; converting the one or more anisotropic precursory nanoparticles into magnetic nanomaterials through chemical reactions; and assembling the anisotropic magnetic nanoparticles into photonic crystals in a solvent.
Abstract:
This composite soft magnetic material having low magnetostriction and high magnetic flux density contains: pure iron-based composite soft magnetic powder particles that are subjected to an insulating treatment by a Mg-containing insulating film or a phosphate film; and Fe-Si alloy powder particles including 11% by mass to 16% by mass of Si. A ratio of an amount of the Fe-Si alloy powder particles to a total amount is in a range of 10% by mass to 60% by mass, and a boundary layer is included between the particles. This method for producing composite soft magnetic material having low magnetostriction and high magnetic flux density includes: mixing a pure iron-based composite soft magnetic powder that is subjected to an insulating treatment by a Mg-containing insulating film or a phosphate film, and an Fe-Si alloy powder including 11% by mass to 16% by mass of Si in such a manner that a ratio of an amount of the Fe-Si alloy powder to a total amount becomes in a range of 10% by mass to 60% by mass; subjecting a resultant mixture to compression molding; and subjecting a resultant molded body to a baking treatment in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. In the case where the composite soft magnetic powder is subjected to the insulation treatment by the Mg-containing insulation film, a baking temperature is set to be in a range of 500°C to 1,000°C, and in the case where the composite soft magnetic powder particles are subjected to the insulating treatment by the phosphate film, the baking temperature is set to be in a range of 350°C to 500°C.
