Bulk laminated amorphous metal inductive device

TLDR
A bulk amorphous metal inductive device (BIMI) as discussed by the authors comprises a magnetic core having at least low-loss bulk ferromagnetic amorphized metal magnetic components forming a magnetic circuit having an air gap therein.
Abstract
A bulk amorphous metal inductive device (1) comprises a magnetic core having at least low-loss bulk ferromagnetic amorphous metal magnetic components (2, 3) forming a magnetic circuit having an air gap therein. The device has one or more electrical windings (25, 27) and may be used as a transformer or inductor in an electronic circuit. The component (2, 3) comprises a plurality of similarly shaped layers of amorphous metal strips bonded together (102) to form a polyhedrally shaped part. The low core losses of the device. e.g. a loss of at most about 12 W/kg when excited at a frequency of 5 kHz to a peak induction level of 0.3 T, make it especially useful for application in power conditioning circuits operating in switched mode at frequencies of 1 kHz or more. The component is fabricated by a process comprising cutting, stacking, registering, and bonding the laminations together by an adhesive agent.
