Materials
Iron powders’ distributed-air-gap properties make this material particularly well suited to energy storage inductor projects and military, aerospace, and motor applications. Micrometals’ materials offer low-current losses, good inductance stability, and high permeability.
Micrometals’ power conversion materials are used as a core material in power conversion circuits. Its stability, frequency response, and high power-handling capabilities make it ideal for use in power conversion applications. Iron powder is a cost-effective design alternative to alloy powder core materials. It can also be used in place of ferrite and iron-alloy laminations requiring a gap.
Iron powder has been used as a core material in radio frequency circuits for many years. It is typically used to produce high Q inductors from 50KHz to 500MHz and broadband transformers above 50MHz. It is the preferred core material due to its stability, high Q, frequency response, and power-handling capabilities.
These materials are specifically designed for severer environment applications where cores are exposed to or generate elevated temperatures. These cost-competitive core materials are not subject to thermal aging for operating temperatures up to 200°C.
Custom shapes and sizes
Apart from the standard shapes (toroid and E-core), Micrometals have a vast experience and capability to design and produce all kinds of custom shapes with high efficiency up to 93% at full rated load current, up to 1400W of output power (1800W transient), low leakage - IEC60601-1:2014 (4th Edition) compliant, type B, BF, CF and defibrillator-proof variants available, and optional triple output available.
Micrometals have in-house die, tool, and press design/manufacturing, and can develop unique tools and presses, allowing us to offer tailored sizes – from super small to extremely large. We can also adjust the (magnetic) core properties by varying the pressure and/or direction of pressure. Some example sizes are toroids - OD from 1.2-400mm, E-cores - “A” Din. from 5-305mm, and pot - OD from 8-200mm.
Within the Magnetics Products Technology Centre, we offer an array of services to help create customised solutions.
With the largest team of technical support specialists in Europe, we are at the forefront of a design led approach to delivering challenging and custom solutions for magnetic cores or components for production.
Whether your need is simple or complex, we can develop a solution to achieve your goals. With in- house experts we can design, develop and test prototypes that meet performance and environmental requirements of your application.
