Abstract

The invention concerns a process for the preparation of an insulated soft magnetic powder comprising the steps of mixing particles of a soft magnetic iron base powder with an acidic, aqueous insulating-layer forming solution, in which MgO has been dissolved; and drying the obtained mixture to obtain an electrically insulating Mg containing layer on the particle surfaces. The invention also concerns the powder per se as well as compressed soft magnetic powder cores prepared from the powder.
