Abstract:
A soft magnetic iron alloy plate having saturation magnetic flux density higher than that of an electromagnetic pure iron plate without an excessive increase in an iron loss, a method for manufacturing the soft magnetic iron alloy plate, and an iron core and a rotating electric machine using the soft magnetic iron alloy plate are provided. A soft magnetic iron alloy plate according to the present invention includes chemical composition containing 2 to 10 at. % of N, 0 to 30 at. % of Co, 0 to 1.2 at. % of V, and a remaining portion including Fe and impurities, and in a thickness direction of the soft magnetic iron alloy plate, an outer nitrogen concentration transition region where N concentration on a main surface is 1 to 4 at. % and N concentration increases toward the inner side from the main surface, a high nitrogen concentration region where maximum N concentration is higher than N concentration of the main surface and less than 11 at. %, and a variation range of N concentration is within 1 at. %, and an inner nitrogen concentration transition region where N concentration decreases toward the inner side from the high nitrogen concentration region and minimum N concentration is lower than N concentration in the high nitrogen concentration region and is 1 at. % or more.
Abstract:
A soft magnetic iron alloy sheet has a saturation magnetic flux density comparable to that of Permendur, with the same iron loss as electromagnetic pure iron, and a lower cost than Permendur. The soft magnetic iron alloy sheet includes, as a chemical composition, 30 at % or less of Co, 0.1 at % or more and 11 at % or less of N, and 1.2 at % or less of vanadium, with the remainder being Fe and impurities. In a thickness direction of the soft magnetic iron alloy sheet, a surface layer region has an average nitrogen concentration of 1 at % or more and 15 at % or less and an internal region has a lower average nitrogen concentration than the surface layer region. In the surface layer region, a thickness is 1% or more and 30% or less from both main surfaces of the sheet and iron-nitride martensite having a tetragonal structure is formed.
