Soft magnetic material with an insulating coating applied to pure iron powder! Achieving high frequency (miniaturization) by reducing eddy current losses! ☆ Easy molding of complex shapes ☆

"Somaloy(R)" is a soft magnetic material made of pure iron powder with an insulating coating, developed by our company as a world first. It enables the manufacturing of cores with three-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional magnetic properties through mold forming. It is particularly useful for the development and manufacturing of high-spec soft magnetic cores required for miniaturization and high output in applications such as electric vehicles. 【Features】 - High compressibility allows for high permeability. - Enables three-dimensional magnetic circuit design, achieving miniaturization, lightweight, and cost reduction of products. - An insulating coating on pure iron powder results in low eddy current loss characteristics, achieving high efficiency in high-frequency ranges! - Complex shapes can be formed without secondary processing through net shaping (three-dimensional mechanical shapes that can be formed with uniaxial pressure). 【Grades】 - We offer a range of products covering frequencies from 100Hz for motor applications to up to 100kHz for reactor applications. ★ A catalog of "Somaloy(R)" is available for download via the button below.

[Speaker] Inclusive Design Designer Yoko Nakao [Key Lecture Content] Products are not selling, differentiation is difficult, and regulations are changing. As product development and facility management reach a significant turning point, inclusive design, which involves engaging people who have previously been excluded from the development process to collaboratively think of solutions, is gaining attention as a method for creating new value. Additionally, practicing inclusive design is expected to enhance not only customer engagement but also employee engagement. In this seminar, based on 20 years of experience leading universal design and inclusive design with diverse characteristics both inside and outside a comprehensive electronics manufacturer, I will specifically explain how to practice inclusive design to create new value. [Lecture Items] 1. Inclusive Design as a New Growth Engine 2. Increasing the Resolution of Diversity 3. Inclusive Design Process 4. Side Effects - Ripple Effects on Talent Development and Recruitment 5. Conclusion 6. Q&A / Business Card Exchange
