3D structure design of magnetic ferrite cores using gelcasting and pressure-less sintering process

Gelcasting is a well established process for ceramics manufacturing which recently has been proved to be successful for soft ferrites as well. This approach is particularly interesting for power electronics application in which the magnetic components (e.g. transformers and inductors) are three dime...
