  Silicon-Iron  Cobalt-Iron Nickel-Iron  Amorphous Metals(Metglas)  Ferrites

The purpose of this page is to give the viewer some idea of the relative magnetic properties of a variety of magnetic materials that can be used in pulsed power, high voltage, and power conditioning applications. The data here has been taken from a number of sources including manufacturers data sheets, etc.  Because actual conditions of measurement may vary, the reader is advised to contact the manufacturer for detailed information once a specific application has been defined.  Several manufacturers may be found on the Links page. Ness Engineering is NOT a representative or dealer of any of these materials.
