Multilayer laminated Cu coil/CaO–Li2O–B2O3–SiO2 glass-ceramic preparation via a novel insulation packaging strategy for flat wire motor applications

Abstract

A new insulation packaging strategy for the stator windings of flat wire motors based on LTCC technology was studied for the first time. The study aimed to replace traditional plastic packaging methods and avoid aging issues by fabricating a novel multilayer laminated Cu coil/CaO–Li₂O–B₂O₃–SiO₂ glass-ceramic structure. The analysis of the interface microstructure of the laminated structure revealed that the CaO–Li₂O–B₂O₃–SiO₂ glass-ceramic matrix consisted of a crystalline phase of CaSiO₃ and an amorphous phase of SiO₂. The interface between the Cu coil and CaO–Li₂O–B₂O₃–SiO₂ glass-ceramic exhibited good bonding with no formation of secondary phases. Additionally, the strong bonding between the Cu coil and CaO–Li₂O–B₂O₃–SiO₂ glass-ceramic was attributed to the diffusion of Cu atoms at the interface. The novel multilayer laminated structure based on LTCC technology proposed in this study can help achieve high-reliability insulation packaging for the stator windings of future high-power density and miniaturized flat wire motors.
