The invention provides method for making high coercivity magnetic materials based on FeNi alloys having a Llo phase structure, tetratenite, and provides a system for accelerating production of these materials. The FeNi alloy is made by preparing a melt comprising Fe, Ni, and optionally one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Ti, V, Al, B, C, Mo, Ir, and Nb; cooling the melt and applying extensional stress and a magnetic field. This is followed by heating and cooling to form the L10 structure.

An magnetic component structure with thermal conductive filler is provided in the present invention, including an upper magnetic core, a lower magnetic core combining with the upper magnetic core to form a casing with a front opening and a rear opening, and a coil mounted in the casing, where two terminals of the coil extend outwardly from the front opening, and a thermal conductive filler filling between the casing and the coil in the casing.

A coil component is constituted by a composite magnetic material containing alloy grains whose oxygen atom concentration in their surfaces is 50 percent or less, and resin, and also by a coil. The alloy grains are comprised of first alloy grains and second alloy grains which have different compositions and different average grain sizes. The coil component using the composite magnetic material does not require high pressure when formed.

Embodiments are directed to a method of forming a laminated magnetic inductor and resulting structures having multiple magnetic layer thicknesses. A first magnetic stack having one or more magnetic layers alternating with one or more insulating layers is formed in a first inner region of the laminated magnetic inductor. A second magnetic stack is formed opposite a major surface of the first magnetic stack in an outer region of the laminated magnetic inductor. A third magnetic stack is formed opposite a major surface of the second magnetic stack in a second inner region of the laminated magnetic inductor. The magnetic layers are formed such that a thickness of a magnetic layer in each of the first and third magnetic stacks is less than a thickness of a magnetic layer in the second magnetic stack.
