One specific group of materials with excellent application potential are powder-compacted soft magnetic materials. These materials have been intensively studied by materials scientists to improve their magnetic properties. This work describes the influence of mechanical smoothing applied to Ni80Fe15Mo5 (wt.%) alloy particle surfaces before the process of compaction. The soft magnetic properties of compacted powders prepared from smoothed and non-smoothed particles were investigated using the following measurements: coercive field, permeability, excess loss, and Barkhausen noise analysis. We found that compactions prepared with smoothed powder particles exhibit a lower value of coercivity (4.80 A/m), higher initial (10,850) and maximum relative permeability (27,700), and low-frequency core losses (1.54 J/m3) in comparison with compactions prepared with non-smoothed particles.
