Abstract: An internally segmented magnet is disclosed. The magnet may include a first layer of a permanent magnetic material, a second layer of a permanent magnetic material, and an insulating layer separating the first and second layers. The insulating layer may include a ceramic mixture of at least a first ceramic material and a second ceramic material. The mixture having a melting point of up to 1,100° C. and may be a eutectic, or near eutectic, composition. The magnet may be formed by forming a first layer of powdered permanent magnetic material, depositing an insulating layer over the first layer, depositing a second layer of powdered permanent magnetic material over the insulating layer to form an internally segmented magnet stack, and sintering the magnet stack. The ceramic materials may include a halogen and an alkaline earth metal, alkali metal, or a metal having a +3 or +4 oxidation state.

Abstract: A method of increasing volume ratio of magnetic particles in a MnBi alloy includes operating a jet miller fed with a MnBi alloy powder containing magnetic particles and non-magnetic particles with gas flow parameters selected such that, only for the magnetic particles, a gas drag force is greater than a centrifugal force within the jet miller to separate the magnetic particles from the non-magnetic particles.

Abstract: Permanent magnets and methods of making the same are disclosed herein. The permanent magnets include a 3D-printed, i.e., additively manufactured, framework and an infiltrate such that there is a discrete magnetic phase and a discrete non-magnetic phase or two discrete magnetic phases. The infiltrate may provide superior strength, elasticity or magnetic properties.

Abstract: Methods and systems for demagnetizing a rotor. The method includes, in one example, adjusting a position of magnetic poles mounted on a frame in a demagnetization system in relation to a first electric machine rotor, and decreasing the magnetization of the first electric machine rotor via operation of the demagnetization system to generate an electromagnetic field.

Abstract: A permanent magnet formed by additively manufacturing magnetic phases and buffer phases is disclosed. The buffer phase(s) may improve performance, enhance mechanical properties and allow the magnet to better tolerate stresses such that defects such as cracking do not occur or are less likely to occur. The buffer phase may be a magnetic or non-magnetic material.

Abstract: A rotor for an electric machine includes a core comprised of stacked laminations that define pockets between a hub portion and a pole portion. Each of the pockets are configured to receive magnetic material and define center cavities between regions of magnetic material to eliminate a flux leakage path between the magnetic materials. A cured mixture including an epoxy and a magnetic powder is disposed within the center cavities. The magnetic material may include sintered magnets and a cured mixture.

Abstract: An inductor that is configured to store energy in a magnetic field includes a wire and a core. The wire is configured to deliver electrical current to the inductor to generate the magnetic field. The core is disposed radially about the wire. The core comprises magnetic particles that are suspended in a non-magnetic matrix. The magnetic particles are arranged such that a magnetic permeability of the core increases in a direction that extends radially outward from the wire along a cross-sectional area of the magnetic core from a first region that is adjacent to the wire to a second region that is adjacent to an outer periphery of the magnetic core.

Abstract: A method of forming an annealed magnet includes positioning a magnetizing array ring concentrically with a ring of bulk magnetic material to form an assembly, the magnetizing array ring having a magnetic field defining directions for orienting grains of the ring of bulk magnetic material, placing the assembly in a furnace, and operating the furnace to anneal the ring of bulk magnetic material and grow the grains in the directions. A magnetic array assembly includes a furnace; and an assembly including (i) a ring of bulk magnetic material having grains and (ii) a magnetizing array ring concentric with the ring of bulk magnetic material, and having a magnetic field defining directions for orienting the grains during growth thereof in a presence of heat from the furnace.
