FeCrCo Magnet is an iron-chromium-cobalt permanent magnet alloy designed for planar octupole and multi-pole magnetization and offering good machinability. It is especially suitable for small, thin, and complex-shaped permanent magnet components used in telephones, tachometers, micro motors, micro relays and speakers.
Features- Magnetic properties close to conventional permanent magnet alloys, available in isotropic and anisotropic grades.
- Good machining performance: can be drilled, shaved, ground, stamped and otherwise machined into precise shapes.
- Capable of very small and slender components: minimum wire diameter down to 0.05 mm; minimum strip thickness down to 0.1 mm.
- Excellent temperature stability and good corrosion resistance; high Curie temperature (~680 °C) with recommended maximum working temperature up to 400 °C.
