Use of Additives for Amelioration of Ferrites’ Magnetic Properties- An Evolving Manufacturing Trend

Practice of incorporating additives with ferrites, both hard and soft, is being extensively exercised. Competency of additives to significantly enhance the magnetic properties of ferrites by influencing their grain growth and density is predominantly spurring their adoption. Favorable studies acknowledging role of additives in enhancing properties such as grain growth, power loss, electric resistance, and permeability, is intensifying its importance in case of ferrites, both hard and soft.

Some of the commonly used additives include calcium oxide (CaO), silicon dioxide (SiO?), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and many more. Moreover, use of additives is also believed to have positive impacts on permeability, which remains one of the highly-valued characteristics in case of soft ferrite.

Advent of Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) Fosters Adoption of Soft Ferrite

With the introduction of switched-mode power supplies, demand for soft ferrites in power applications has taken off by a significant margin. The clamor for higher frequencies in case of high-frequency power supplies is on a rise, which also results in reduction of the size of magnetic components. Ferrites, with the ability to address the aforementioned challenge, are being increasingly used in case of SMPS systems.

The demand for soft ferrite in cores of RF transformers and inductors in switched-mode power supply (SMPS) is on the rise, driven by relatively lower losses at high frequencies. Moreover, properties of soft ferrites can be altered or tailored by compositional modifications, which is another key benefit prompting its adoption in SMPS systems.

Sintering to Tailor Microstructures of Ferrites- A Prominent Trend

Nanostructured ferrites are famed for their utilization in case of modern electronic devices, such as data transmission circuitry, EMI suppression, and many more. Nanostructured ferrites synthesized by methods, such as co-precipitation, hydrothermal, and sol-gel mechanical, often inherit the characteristic of being unstable. This instability can be attributed to a myriad of reasons, with small constituent sizes and high chemical activity being two of them.

Sintering helps in recrystallizing the nanostructure and causes a shift from an excited metastable (activated) state into a low-energy crystalline state. Among the types of sintering, the multi-sample sintering remains a commonly adopted one as compared to single-stage sintering, which remains rarely adopted. However, both of the aforementioned types are set to witness considerable adoption, which is dependent on the requirements of the target application.

End-users Turn to Amorphous Iron to Reduce Dependency on Rare-earth Magnets

Due to rising protectionist measures and trade wars concerning the exports of rare-earth magnets, a majority of industry players had been facing challenges associated with raw material supply for manufacturing magnetic materials. However, most end-users are finding ways to reduce their dependence on rare-earth magnets by shifting to amorphous iron as a magnetic material.

Especially in the U.S., a large percentage of electric motor manufacturers are shifting to amorphous iron since the U.S. government has imposed a ban on imports of rare earth magnets from China. Thereby, motor manufacturers and other industry players are finding ways to diversify their sources of magnetic materials, and this is expected to create numerous opportunities for players in the amorphous iron (Fe amorphous) market.

Use of Amorphous Iron in Improving Energy Efficiency of Machines Driving Adoption

Though amorphous iron or Fe amorphous is often considered an exotic material, its unique magnetic properties have contributed to increasing its adoption among end-users. Magnetic properties of amorphous iron balance the characteristics of Superparamagnetic and single-domain Ferromagnetism. Unique magnetic properties of amorphous iron aid in enhancing energy efficiency of an electrical equipment or power distribution systems.

With the increasing energy costs and growing awareness about conversation of energy through the use of various electrical appliances, amorphous iron is likely to find numerous applications as a conducting, magnetic material in a wide range of end-use applications. Furthermore, increasing awareness about the environmental impacts of equipment with low energy efficiency is adding to the adoption of amorphous iron as a magnetic material to enhance operational efficiency of various equipment. This is expected to remain the primary driver of the amorphous iron (Fe amorphous) market in the future.

Automakers across the world, especially in emerging nations, are incorporating amorphous iron to meet the burgeoning demand for energy efficient electric vehicles, which is expected to create favorable growth environment for amorphous iron (Fe amorphous) in developing countries.

Increase in Iron Mine Production Keeps Prices Competitive

According to the National Minerals Information Center, US Geological Survey, the global production of crude iron ore increased from 2.5 billion metric tons to around 3.3 billion metric tons between the period 2010 and 2015. Also, the global production of usable iron ore also witnessed a significant rise from 1.8 billion metric tons to around 2.3 billion metric tons during the span of five years. Steadily increasing global production of iron is expected to amplify the availability of raw materials for amorphous iron, helping manufacturers to keep the production costs under control.

While China has been the biggest producer of iron, other countries, including the U.S. have accelerated their production of iron in the past few years. For example, the metal production in the U.S. in 2017 accounted for approximately US$ 26.3 billion and iron ore held a 12% share in the production rise, according to the mineral commodity summaries 2018, by the U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). This is enabling manufacturers in the U.S. amorphous iron (Fe amorphous) market to introduce competitive prices of amorphous iron in the global market.
