Abstract

The interfusion of impurities such as metallic wear debris has been a major issue in the manufacturing process of foods, medicines and industrial products. Such debris originates with wearing of stainless-steel pipe joints or mechanical moving parts. Since the debris shows ferromagnetic properties by undergoing the strain-induced martensitic transformation of non-magnetic SUS304 (X5CrNi18-10), the magnetic separation system is much efficient to remove such debris from raw materials. In order to study the magnetic separation properties for the martensitic transformation fine particles, the several kinds of magnetic powder with different magnetization were prepared by controlling the amount of martensitic transformation by heat-treating SUS304 powders. The magnetic separation performance was evaluated by the high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) experiments using the multilayer unidirectional magnetic wire filter under dry condition. The experimental results and FEM particle trajectory simulations revealed that the SUS304 powders transformed into martensite were removed at high speed of 0.1 m/s by the superconducting HGMS in a relatively low magnetic field.
