Abstract
The invention relates to a sintered moulding of Li(Ni)Zn ferrite material, a transformer core and an inductor core of this material as well as several applications of these cores. In accordance with the invention, the majority of the grains of the sintered material have a monodomain structure. This leads to a substantial reduction of the loss factor and the overall losses when these mouldings are subjected to high-frequency applications and power applications. The ferrite material preferably comprises 59-65 mol % Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3, 7-11 mol % Li.sub.2 CO.sub.3, 4-8 mol % MnO and 20-28 mol % ZnO. This also provides the material with a high saturation magnetization.
Claims6
A sintered moulding made from Li(Ni)Zn ferrite material wherein at least 98% of the grains of the sintered material have a monodomain structure and the average grain size of the material lies in the range of 1.6-2.6 microns.
