In this work, a 3D printed polymer-metal soft-magnetic composite was developed and characterized for its material, structural, and functional properties. The material comprises acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) as the polymer matrix, with up to 40 vol. % stainless steel micropowder as the filler. The composites were rheologically analyzed and 3D printed into tensile and flexural test specimens using a commercial desktop 3D printer. Mechanical characterization revealed a linearly decreasing trend of the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and a sharp decrease in Young's modulus with increasing filler content. Four-point bending analysis showed a decrease of up to 70% in the flexural strength of the composite and up to a two-factor increase in the secant modulus of elasticity. Magnetic hysteresis characterization revealed retentivities of up to 15.6 mT and coercive forces of up to 4.31 kA/m at an applied magnetic field of 485 kA/m. The composite shows promise as a material for the additive manufacturing of passive magnetic sensors and/or actuators.
在这项工作中,开发了一种3D打印的聚合物-金属软磁复合材料,并对其材料、结构和功能特性进行了表征。该材料以丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯(ABS)为聚合物基体,填充高达40体积%的不锈钢微粉。对复合材料进行了流变学分析,并使用商用桌面3D打印机将其3D打印成拉伸和弯曲测试样品。力学表征显示,随着填料含量的增加,极限抗拉强度(UTS)呈线性下降趋势,杨氏模量急剧下降。四点弯曲分析表明,复合材料的弯曲强度下降高达70%,割线弹性模量增加高达两倍。磁滞表征显示,在485 kA/m的外加磁场下,剩余磁感应强度高达15.6 mT,矫顽力高达4.31 kA/m。该复合材料有望成为用于增材制造无源磁传感器和/或致动器的材料。
