摘要： An electromagnet alignment system for in-situ alignment of a magnetic particulate material is provided. The magnetic particulate material is dispensed through an orifice of a dispensing nozzle used for 3D printing. The system has an electromagnet assembly having a coil. The coil is configured to generate a pulsed magnetic field having a target magnetic flux intensity upon energization of the coil when the magnetic particulate material is being heated and moved through the dispensing nozzle. As a result, the magnetic particulate material is at least partially aligned with respect to a direction by the pulsed magnetic field. The system further includes a power source for implementing the energization of the coil.

摘要： A method for producing a bonded magnet, comprising: (i) low-shear compounding of a thermoplastic polymer and magnetic particles to form an initial homogeneous mixture thereof; (ii) feeding the initial homogeneous mixture into a plasticator comprising a low-shear single screw rotating unidirectionally toward a die orifice and housed within a heated barrel to result in heating of the initial homogeneous mixture until the thermoplastic polymer melts and forms a further homogeneous mixture, wherein said further homogeneous mixture is transported within threads of the single screw towards the die orifice and exits the die orifice as a solid pellet; (iii) conveying the solid pellet into a mold and compression molding the pellet in the mold, to form the bonded magnet, wherein the bonded magnet possesses a magnetic particle loading of at least 80 vol % and exhibits one or more magnetic properties varying by less than 5% throughout the bonded magnet.
