Abstract

A soft magnetic material, and a method for manufacturing it, which is suitable, e.g., for use in solenoid valves is described. The individual powder particles of a metallic powdery initial component are equipped superficially at least largely with a high-resistance surface layer and the powder particles are densified into the material. Upon densification of the powdery metallic initial component into the soft magnetic material, the surface layers of the powder particles are additionally at least locally welded to one another. Welding can be achieved using shock densification.
