Bonded thin cylinder magnets using Sm-Fe-N anisotropic powder
Anisotropic bonded Sm-Fe-N thin cylinder magnets have been developed by an injection-molding technology using unsaturated polyester resin, because thin and high-performance magnets are needed in order to downsize the motor. A special point for forming was a control of the rate of shrinkage. A multioriented cylinder magnet of 0.8 mm thickness was made by an insertion forming an aluminum column of 18.4 mm diameter and 18 mm height. A radial-oriented cylinder magnet of 15 mm outer diameter, 16 mm height, and 0.5 mm thickness was also made.
Injection-molded Sm–Fe–N anisotropic magnets using unsaturated polyester resin
Abstract New injection-molding technology has been developed using an unsaturated polyester (UP) resin in order to produce bonded Sm–Fe–N anisotropic magnets. Sheet magnets of 50 mm × 20 mm × 0.36 mm are successfully made within a cycle time of 90 s. Magnetic properties obtained are almost the same as those obtained in column magnets of ϕ10 mm × 7 mm. Typical data of magnetic properties are as follows: Br = 0.72 T, HCJ = 796 kA/m and (BH)max = 94.7 kJ/m3. The density is 4.79 Mg/m3. The degree of orientation of (0 0 6) is 5.31 calculated using the Wilson formula from X-ray diffraction result. Ring magnets of 7.4 mm × 3.2 mm × 0.3 mm are easily made from sheet magnets.
Badush Dam, NW Iraq : A Geological Study
The river Tigris flows from Turkey towards Iraq in its northwestern part dissecting the whole Iraqi territory. During 1981– 1986 a very large earth fill dam was constructed, which is Mosul Dam impounding the flow of the Tigris River. It is the largest dam in Iraq and one of the largest in the Middle East. The geological conditions of the dam site and surroundings, however, are not suitable due to thick exposures of the Fatha Formation, which consists of marl, clay, limestone and gypsum. The gypsum and limestone beds are highly karstified causing severe problems to the dam foundation. Mosul dam suffers from serious problems due to the presence of karstified rocks; therefore, the Ministry of Irrigation in Baghdad, decided to construct a protection dam downstream of Mosul Dam; it is called Badush Dam. The geological conditions at Badush Dam site are the same as those at Mosul Dam site, which means the foundations of the dam are located on karstified rocks. Therefore, grouting works were planned and designed and it was partly performed from the beginning of the construction in 1988. The construction of the dam; however, stopped in 1991 due to the consequences of the First Gulf War. The constructed parts of the dam are (30 – 40) %. In this study, we have presented the main problems, which will cause real danger to Badush Dam, if its construction is re-started, and we have suggested many requirements to avoid any hazard that may cause the collapse of Badush Dam.
