GM42DC

Magnetic properties of toroidal encapsulated magnetic cores from amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys

GAMMAMET® 42DC

Magnetic cores GAMMAMET® 42DC are made from 25 microns thick ribbon of soft magnetic nanocrystalline alloy on a Fe-basis. The ribbon is produced by technology of molten metal rapidly quenching. After heat treatment in transverse magnetic field the cores have high linearity of magnetization curve, low remanent induction, high initial permeability and low core losses. Over a core the covering from polymer material is put. The encapsulated cores have enhanced strength and can be used without protective boxes.

The various sizes of cores are available with outer diameter up to 140 mm. The magnetic cores GAMMAMET® 42DC are preferably used in frequency range up to 200 kHz.

Sizes list of magnetic cores DC you can see in Table 2. Weight and geometrical sizes of toroidal encapsulated magnetic cores

Class of thermal stability is A (105°C) or F (155°C).

The service life of cores is 30 years.

Magnetic cores GAMMAMET® 42DС substitute for cores of soft magnetic nickel-iron alloys and ferrites with linear magnetization curve. The specification TU 1261-031-12287107-2008 assures the following magnetic properties:

Magnetic core Squareness ratio Кп800, no more Initial relative magnetic permeability, no less Coercive force, А/м, no more Magnetic induction В800, T, no less
GM 42DC – 1 class 0,2 7000 5 0,7
GM 42DC – 2 class 0,2 10000 4 0,7

Use area: high-frequency transformers, matching transformers, pulse transformers, wide-range transformers, measuring current and voltage transformers.

GAMMAMET® owns following patents of Russia which are used at manufacture of magnetic cores GM 42DC: 2009257, 2009258, 2033649, 2117714.

The detailed information about magnetic properties of GM 42DC can be found in the book: Starodubtsev J.N., Belozerov V.J. "Magnetic properties amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys"

Numerical values of magnetic properties in DC magnetic cores correspond to geometric cross-sectional area or volume of a core. And thus in electrotechnical calculations the lamination factor of core is accepted to equal unit.
