Abstract
A description of soft magnetic powder composites, such as sinters, dielectromagnetics, and magnetodielectrics, and the problems associated with their application as magnetic cores in electrical converters is presented. Typical magnetic properties and methods of processing are reviewed and criteria for choosing the type of composite for a particular magnetic core are discussed. Dielectromagnetics can be divided, both in terms of their present status and for future development, into conventional and special types. The problems associated with both these types are described. A brief review is given, based on the authors’ experience with these problems, of the present status of and the prospects for soft magnetic powder composites. PM/0519
