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.
