Abstract
Vector magnetic properties of various electrical steel sheets have been investigated by using a vector magnetic property measurement apparatus to select a magnetic material suitable as a motor core material. However, a magnetic material with a higher saturation magnetization than an electrical steel sheet is useful for increasing torque of a motor. Therefore, a permendur with higher saturation magnetization than an electrical steel sheet is selected as a measurement sample. It is known that a permendur does not have magnetic anisotropy. In this paper, vector magnetic properties of two kinds of permendurs made by VACUUMSCHMELZE (VAC) and Hitachi Metals are measured. Moreover, maximum magnetic field intensities and core losses of two kinds of permendurs to an inclination angle of magnetic flux density vector locus from rolling direction are evaluated for investigation of those magnetic anisotropies. As a result, differences of vector magnetic properties of two kinds of permendurs are revealed.
