Popis: In this study, we utilized MgO as an insulating buffer layer to enhance the thermal stability and soft magnetic properties of Fe-Ni soft magnetic composites (SMCs) and investigated the effect of high-temperature heat treatment on those soft magnetic properties. By employing the sol-gel process, a uniform MgO insulating layer with a thickness of 600 nm was coated onto Fe-Ni magnetic powder. Subsequently, high-density SMCs were fabricated through high-pressure compaction molding. The MgO layer remained intact up to 800 °C, leading to the FeNi@MgO@MK SMCs exhibiting enhanced permeability and reduced hysteresis loss due to grain enlargement and elimination of defects, such as dislocation stacking. Notably, the dynamic loss increase after high-temperature heat treatment was significantly regulated compared to the case of the uncoated counterpart. The results underscore the potential to improve the thermal stability and soft magnetic properties of MgO-coated Fe-Ni SMCs, rendering them suitable for various electromagnetic applications.
