Alloy Powder Materials Optimized for Core Loses, DC-Bias, or Cost
Micrometals introduced its new offering of Optilloy Alloy Powder materials. The offering includes three new formulations, OD, OC and OE, which are specially formulated to provide optimal core performance for demanding applications.
All Optilloy materials are unique formulations of iron, silicon, aluminum and nickel and are available in toroid shapes with permeabilities from 14µ to 125µ.
The original Optilloy material, OP, was formulated to provide low core losses and high saturation. Micrometals optimized the new OD material, Optimized DC Bias, to deliver superior dc bias while preserving low losses at a very cost competitive price.
OD material is suitable for applications that require high saturation magnetization, which may have traditionally used high flux materials like FluxSan or Hi-Flux. Optimized DC Bias cores are available in toroids from 3.5mm to 196mm with permeabilities from 14µ to 90µ.
OC material is an economical alternative for applications that may have traditionally used Sendust or MPP type materials. Optimized Core Loss cores are available in toroids from 3.5mm to 196mm with permeabilities from 14µ to 125µ.
The company specailly formulated OE, Optimized Economy to provide an economical alternative to applications that require moderate, but consistent magnetic performance.
Optimized Economy cores are available in toroids from 3.5mm to 196mm with permeabilities from 14µ to 90µ.
"For decades, our customers have trusted Micrometals cores to deliver exceptional reliability, consistency and performance. With these new Optilloy materials we will continue to deliver that same reliability and consistency, but with performance targeted at one or more magnetic attributes that are the most important for their application, and a very competitive price," Jim Cox, Micrometals President said.
Micrometals has now incorporated the Optilloy into the company's Online Inductor Design Tool, for facilitating material selection and design optimization.
