EMSL Project ID

Abstract
Nanostructured soft magnetic materials will drastically improve magnetic performance of soft magnets, which in turn will result in improvement in efficiency and reduce the cost of motors, power generators, transformers and power electronics. The desired nanostructure for soft magnet has been theoretically derived and experimentally validated to a limited extent, but method to achieve such nanostructure in bulk is lacking. As a part of this proposal we plan to integrate the development of novel manufacturing technologies aimed at achieving nanostructures in bulk with detailed 3D characterization of nanostructured soft magnetic materials. Such a direct integration is expected to provide a detailed understanding of the nanostructure evolution in soft magnetic materials and pave way towards development of cost-effective scaled-up manufacturing process that can attain optimized nanostructures in bulk soft magnetic materials.
