Abstract:
A punch unit is used in a powder press molding device that includes a die plate including a cavity in which a compacted powder pellet can be formed, the powder press molding device including a ram moving in a direction approaching the die plate and in a direction away from the die plate. The punch unit includes a punch inserted into the cavity of the die plate when the ram approaches the die plate, and a supporting portion supporting the punch reciprocatably, the punch unit being movable along a plane intersecting with the moving direction of the ram in a state where the punch is removed from the cavity. The punch unit is capable of shortening a distance in which the ram moves, and a cycle time can be shortened.
Abstract:
In a manufacturing method of a soft magnetic member, a material powder that includes ferrous particles and an organic layer formed on a surface of each of the ferrous particles is prepared. The organic layer contains at least one element selected from the group consisting of Si, Mg, Ti, and V. The material powder is compacted to form a green compact, and the green compact is induction-heated with a frequency of 100 kHz or higher to form an insulation layer made of an oxide containing the element on the surface of each of the ferrous particles.
