Abstract

A method for stress relieving a compression molded magnetic body is provided for purposes of enhancing the magnetic permeability of the magnetic body. The method involves encapsulating ferromagnetic particles with a thermoplastic polymer coating selected from the group consisting of polybenzimidazole and polyimides having heat deflection temperatures of at least about 400.degree. C. which are capable of withstanding elevated temperatures for a duration which is sufficient to anneal the magnetic body formed from the coated metal particles. As a result, the stresses induced in the magnetic core by the compression molding process can be relieved without detriment to the mechanical properties and magnetic characteristics of the magnetic core.
