Abstract
In present work, two related models of
SMC (microst ructure model and electric circuit model) were built, and the relationship
among electrical resistivity ( ρ ), insulator volume content γ ) and powder coating rate (α) was derived and discussed. From
the obtained relationship, the coating rate could be quant ified and be comparable during preparation. The calculation
indicates that both increase of insulator volume content and powder coating rate could improve the electrical resistivity.
Moreover, significant improvement of electrical resistivity could only be obtained at very high coating rate (above 99.5%) at a
constant insulator volume content (15 vol.%). Therefore, comprehensive consideration of electric and magnetic properties,
more effort should be expended to explore effective processing method to obtain iron powders with high coating rate..
