Metal powder core comprising copper powder, coil component, and fabrication method for metal powder core

Abstract

In a metal powder core constructed from soft magnetic material powder and a coil component employing this, a configuration suitable for reduction of a core loss is provided. The metal powder core constructed from soft magnetic material powder is characterized in that Cu is dispersed among the soft magnetic material powder. It is characterized in that, preferably, the soft magnetic material powder is pulverized powder of soft magnetic alloy ribbon and that Cu is dispersed among the pulverized powder of soft magnetic alloy ribbon. Further, it is characterized in that, preferably, the soft magnetic alloy ribbon is a Fe-based nano crystal alloy ribbon or a Fe-based alloy ribbon showing a Fe-based nano crystalline structure and that the pulverized powder has a nano crystalline structure.
