Abstract
Abstract A magnetic core containing amorphous metal, suitable for use with electrical inductive apparatus, such as transformers. The desired physical dimensions of the magnetic core are maintained, without adversely stressing the core, by a composite, conformal coating applied to the core edges. The composite coating includes a rigid high strength outer structure and a low stress, adhesive inner structure which cooperatively provide mechanical support and stress protection for the magnetic core, while maintaining its configuration.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
177 words
A magnetic core, comprising: a plurality of lamination layers, at least certain of which are constructed of amorphous metal, said plurality of lamination layers defining closely adjacent edges on opposite sides of the magnetic core, and a composite, conformal coating disposed to cover at least said opposite sides of said magnetic core, said composite, conformal coating including a low stress, adhesive insulative structure having at least one foraminous insulative sheet thoroughly impregnated with a first gelled resin, said low stress insulative structure being bonded to the adjacent edges of the lamination layers on said opposite sides of the magnetic core, without penetration of the low stress insulative structure between the lamination layers, said composite, conformal coating further including a high strength structure having at least one reinforcing insulative sheet thoroughly impregnated with a second resin which has a higher tensile strength than said first resin, said high strength structure being bonded to said low stress insulative structure, to provide a composite, conformal coating which protects the magnetic core against mechanical stresses while maintaining the desired core configuration.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
177 words
A magnetic core, comprising: a plurality of lamination layers, at least certain of which are constructed of amorphous metal, said plurality of lamination layers defining closely adjacent edges on opposite sides of the magnetic core, and a composite, conformal coating disposed to cover at least said opposite sides of said magnetic core, said composite, conformal coating including a low stress, adhesive insulative structure having at least one foraminous insulative sheet thoroughly impregnated with a first gelled resin, said low stress insulative structure being bonded to the adjacent edges of the lamination layers on said opposite sides of the magnetic core, without penetration of the low stress insulative structure between the lamination layers, said composite, conformal coating further including a high strength structure having at least one reinforcing insulative sheet thoroughly impregnated with a second resin which has a higher tensile strength than said first resin, said high strength structure being bonded to said low stress insulative structure, to provide a composite, conformal coating which protects the magnetic core against mechanical stresses while maintaining the desired core configuration.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
The magnetic core of claim 1 wherein the plurality of lamination layers defines a wound core having a circular cross-sectional configuration, with the at least one foraminous insulative sheet including a single sheet of fiberglass cloth.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
57 words
The magnetic core of claim 1 wherein the plurality of lamination layers define a wound core having a non-circular cross-sectional configuration which defines leg and yoke portions, with the at least one foraminous insulative sheet of the low stress, adhesive insulative structure being constructed of separate strips of fiberglass cloth applied to the leg and yoke portions.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
The magnetic core of claim 1 wherein the plurality of lamination layers are the turns of a wound core which define inner and outer core surfaces, and wherein the low stress, adhesive insulative structure is also bonded to said outer core surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
The magnetic core of claim 1 wherein the plurality of lamination layers are the turns of a wound core, with at least the innermost lamination layer turn being formed of a non-amorphous metal.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
48 words
The magnetic core of claim 1 wherein the plurality of lamination layers are the turns of a wound core, with at least the innermost and outermost lamination layer turns being formed of a non-amorphous metal, and with the intermediate lamination layer turns being formed of an amorphous metal.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
The magnetic core of claim 1 wherein the composite coating overhangs at least certain of the core edges by a predetermined dimension.
