Experts have been saying for years that many industries will soon need new and better materials for their electromagnetic applications. That future is now.
Innovation-minded engineers are looking to a new solution for electric motor designs and similar applications. Powder metallurgy may be your best soft magnetic material solution for both AC and DC applications.
The best way to use these materials is powder metal, where you can shape them freely. In powder metallurgy, these materials fall under two umbrellas: soft magnetic composite materials (SMCs) and sintered soft magnetic materials. This resource center will help you understand which is better for your project, as your solution may differ by application, industry, or property needs.
Click below and we’ll take you to the appropriate starting point:
Uses of Sintered Soft Magnetic Materials (DC applications):
Solenoids
Magnet stators for brushed DC motors
Rotors for synchronous motor design using a permanent magnet
Almost any other motor, including brushless DC electric motor design
Uses of Soft Magnetic Composites (AC applications):
Stators
Low-speed rotors -- the stresses aren’t as high as you think!
AC permanent magnet motor design
Any application where you want to optimize your part’s shape
Any application where you want to conserve copper wire
If you have any questions on soft magnetic alloys. We will give the professional answers to your questions.
