Additively manufactured passive components for high frequency applications

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a passive component for electromagnetic applications, such as power electronics applications, electromagnetic shield applications, or other high frequency microwave applications, includes creating a component body from a soft magnetic material feedstock using an additive manufacturing technique and infiltrating the component body with an infiltrant to increase a bulk density of the component. Another method of manufacturing a passive component for electromagnetic applications, such as power electronics applications, electromagnetic shield applications, or other high frequency microwave applications, includes binder jet printing a component body from a soft magnetic material feedstock and sintering the component body. The material feedstock may have an engineered particle size distribution and/or may comprise various composite materials as described herein. In addition, the sintering may include liquid-assisted sintering.
