my country’s nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials industry has a good development trend, attracting many companies to deploy
Nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials refer to nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials produced by heat treatment processes on the basis of amorphous alloys. Currently, they mainly refer to iron-based nanocrystalline alloys. Nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials have properties such as high magnetic permeability, low high-frequency loss, and high saturation magnetic induction intensity. They are mainly used in electronic instruments and equipment such as transformers, sensors, and mutual inductors. As magnetic components have gradually developed towards high power and miniaturization in recent years, the market demand for nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials continues to rise.
Nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials are considered to be a new type of green energy-saving material with simple production process and low cost. Therefore, their application requirements are high and they are currently used in fields such as electric power, communications, and new energy. In the future, as electronic products become more high-frequency and miniaturized, nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials will be used in high-end fields such as medical care, consumer electronics, aerospace, and medical care. It can be seen that nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials have excellent comprehensive properties, a wide range of applications, and good industry development prospects.
Nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloy strip has the characteristics that the thinner the material, the lower the loss; the wider the width, the higher the strip utilization rate. In recent years, with the high-end development of the electronics industry, products are developing in the direction of energy saving and integration. In order to meet market demand, nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloy strips will develop in the direction of ultra-thin strips and ultra-wideband in the future. At present, the thickness of nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloy strip reaches 14μm and the width is 60mm.
