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.
