Amorphous Alloys Metglas®
DESCRIPTION
This material is used in the cores of distribution transformers, such as those mounted on utility poles, and in cut cores for reactors built into power conditioner systems for solar photovoltaic, wind power, and other renewable energies. When the core material is changed from magnetic steel sheets to amorphous alloy, no-load loss (standby power consumption) in the core reduces, resulting in higher efficiency and greater power savings. Demand is growing for this product for its recognition as a material effective for reducing CO2 emissions, which is essential for mitigating global warming. With the low-loss MaDC-ATM series added to the portfolio, Metglas® is expected to find wider applications in Japan and abroad.
Features:
Fe-based amorphous alloys have lower iron loss compared to grain-oriented electrical steels because of low hysteresis loss due to non-crystalline structure and low eddy current loss due to thin ribbon thickness and high electrical resistivity.
Application
Amorphous alloys are mainly used for pole transformers and industrial transformers, but due to their characteristics, they are also widely used in noise reduction parts, electronic circuit parts, EV parts, etc.
In recent years, it has been used for motor cores due to its low iron loss compared to electrical steel sheets.
Manufacturing method and recycling system:
Proterial Asia
