9 to 27 % Cobalt-Iron VACOFLUX

Cost Optimized Cobalt-Iron Alloys with a High Saturation Polarization

Cobalt-Iron alloys in general have a very high polarization saturation. This group of CoFe alloys, with a reduced cobalt content of 9 - 27% cobalt, are optimized to meet the requirements of technically demanding, however cost sensitive applications.

 

Benefits:

  • Reduced cost level due to lower cobalt contents
  • Optimized product parameters for dedicated applications

Strip material

  • Electric motors and generators (VACOFLUX® X1)
  • Magnetic actuators (VACOFLUX® 17, 18 HR and 9 CR)

Solid material

  • Magnetic actuators (VACOFLUX® 17, 18 HR and 9 CR)
  • Flux guiding parts (VACOFLUX® 27)
