Amorphous, and Nanocrystalline Cores

Amorphous alloys feature an ultra-fine grain structure. With high magnetic permeability, high-saturation magnetic induction, low core loss and excellent stability, they meet the development needs of today’s electronic products toward high frequency, high current, miniaturization and energy-saving. Theycan replace silicon steel, permalloy, and ferrite, and are widely used in electric power and electronic products.

Amorphous Alloy

Amorphous alloys feature an ultra-fine grain structure. With high magnetic permeability, high-saturation magnetic induction, low core loss and excellent stability, they meet the development needs of today’s electronic products toward high frequency, high current, miniaturization and energy-saving. Theycan replace silicon steel, permalloy, and ferrite, and are widely used in electric power and electronic products.

As a new type of soft magnetic alloy material, amorphous alloys areproduced using internationally advanced super-rapid quenching technology. Molten metal is cooled directly at a rate of millions of degrees Celsiusper second to form amorphous thin strips with a thickness of 14 ~ 20µm. This results in an amorphous alloy structure with short-range order, and long-range disorder in atomic arrangement, which is fundamentallydifferent from the microstructureof conventional metals and alloys.

Therefore, amorphous alloys exhibit incomparable superiorcharacteristics over conventional metallic materials in many aspects, such as physical, chemical, and mechanical performance. In addition, their preparationprocess is entirely different from traditional metallurgic techniques. Amorphous alloys are produced directly from molten steel into thin amorphous ribbons in a single step, eliminating multiple processes such as casting, forging, intermediate annealing, and rolling used in conventionalmetallurgy. This significantly saves energy, and produces no pollutant emissions.

Amorphous alloys are thus known as new type of green material that is environmentally friendly, energy-saving, and highly efficient.

 

Nanocrystalline Alloy

The amorphous strip is annealed at 400-600 ℃ to precipitate small grains of 10-20nm, forming a composite structure of amorphous and nanocrystals, retaining the low defect characteristics of amorphous materials while introducing the high magnetic permeability advantage of nanocrystals.
