Cut rectangular cores

Magnetic cores GAMMAMET®

Magnetic properties cut rectangual magnetic cores from amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys

GAMMAMET® 24DC

Magnetic cores GAMMAMET® 24DC are made from 25 microns thick ribbon of soft magnetic nanocrystalline alloy GM 414 on a Fe-basis. The ribbon is produced by technology of molten metal rapidly quenching. Magnetic cores GM 24DC are cut cores with C and E forms and are delivered in the form of two halves. Over a core the covering from polymer material is put.

The various sizes of cores are available with outer size up to 400 mm. The magnetic cores GAMMAMET® 24DC are used in frequency range up to 200 kHz.

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

The service life of cores is 30 years.

Magnetic cores GAMMAMET® 24DC substitute for magnetodielectics on basis of sendust and permalloy and for ferrite cores with air cut gap.

The specification TU 1261-032-12287107-2008 guarantees inductance per one turn of winding AL for densely compressed halves of magnetic core (minimun of air gap) no less than AL=1.57·10-4S0.61 (henry), where S - cross-sectional area of core (m2).

Use area: power transformers, current transformers, reactors.

GAMMAMET® owns following patents of Russia which are used at manufacture of magnetic cores GM 24DC: 2009258, 2033649, 2117714, 2044796.

The detailed information about magnetic properties of GM 24DC 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.
