Zusammenfassung:A nanocrystalline alloy, with an iron-based composition (Fe58.5Si16.7B6.5Nb5.1Cu13.2) and a Curie temperature of 570 °C, was investigated for its effectiveness as magnetic shielding films in an induction heating system. The primary focus of the research was to evaluate the shielding performance of the 3-turned (9-layered) shielding films with dimensions of 135 mm × 17 mm × 0.15 mm. Upon winding, these films formed a cylindrical structure that enveloped the coil, with a diameter of 13.9 mm and a height of 17 mm. The results showed that increasing the degree of fragmentation within the nanocrystalline shielding films significantly reduced the magnetic permeability by decreasing the real component from 11,500 to 400 and the imaginary part from 2800 to 20. However, a lower degree of fragmentation led to a 10 % increase in the resistance (Rs) of the heating module, although this effect was less pronounced as the relative permeability continued to increase. Furthermore, observations on preheating time to a set temperature of 400 °C and total energy consumption over a duration of 250s revealed an initial downward trend, followed by a rapid increase that even exceeded the initial values as the magnetic permeability of the nanocrystalline shielding films augmented. Notably, the study emphasized that nanocrystalline shielding films with a relative permeability value of 1000 demonstrated exceptional magnetic shielding performance, resulting in a 12.5 % reduction in preheat time and 7 % less energy consumption during preheating. In addition to empirical findings, the study developed a theoretical model elucidating the shielding mechanism inherent in induction heating systems. This model serves as a robust framework for the application of nanocrystalline shielding materials in such systems, laying the groundwork for enhanced magnetic shielding capabilities in future applications. •Exploring iron-based nanocrystalline alloy shielding film for induction heating applications.•Accessing impact of fragmentation on permeability and shielding performance of nanocrystalline films.•Formulating a theoretical model to elucidate shielding mechanisms of nanocrystalline films in induction heating.•Outlining future strategies to enhance shielding performance in induction heating systems.
