An improved calculation of ferrite core loss for nonsinusoidal waveforms separates a flux trajectory into major and minor loops via a new recursive algorithm. It is highly accurate and outperforms two previous methods for our measured data. The only characteristics of the material required are the standard Steinmetz-equation parameters.

Nanocomposite of CoFe2O4/SrFe12O19 has been synthesized by the electrospinning and calcination process. A novel method that cobalt powder was used to replace traditional cobalt salt in the precursor sol-gel for electrospinning was proposed. The crystal structures, morphologies, and magnetic properties of these samples have been characterized in detail. Moreover, when the average crystallite siz...

Hot–press forming steels are formed in a fully austenitic state followed by die– quenching in order to generate martensite and achieve a strong steel. The ductility however, tends to be limited. We explore in this work a novel steel design in which the forming operation is in the two–phase austenite and ferrite field, so that the quenching results in a dual–phase ferrite and martensite microstr...

There are important aspects of steel which are hidden from ordinary view and largely from the users of steels. They nevertheless determine the macroscopic behaviour. One example is that the magnetic properties of austenite determine that it has a larger thermal expansion coefficient than ferrite, whereas intuition would suggest otherwise given that austenite has a greater density. This and othe...

A mechanistic model for the micro-endmilling process is developed that explicitly accounts for the different phases while machining heterogeneous materials. It is shown that frequencies in the cutting force signal higher than those that can be explained by the kinematics of the process can be explained by considering the multiple phases in the material. Experiments are performed on two composit...

Calculations for the magnetic dipolar contribution to the magnetic anisotropy of BaFeizOie and LaFeiiZnOie M-type and BaFerMn2Oil A-type hexagonal ferrites have been made. Our calculations take into account all the magnetic moments existing within a sphere with a radius of 118 1, from which good eonvergenee is reached. The results for there ferrite# suggest that the strong magnetic enisotropy i...

Softening frequently occurs in dual-phase steels under isothermal tempering of martensite. Recently, non-isothermal tempering is implemented to decrease the softening process in dualphase steels. Here, we have discovered using high power electropulsing treatment can significantly enhance the strengthening effects via the formation of ultrafine-grained ferrite with nano-cementite particles in te...
