Fluxtrol soft magnetic materials enable the end user to achieve greater productivity by effectively focusing the magnetic field on the critical areas of the workpiece and thus greatly reduce time to temperature. Heating occurs precisely where needed to meet specification which in turn improves quality while allowing for higher outputs and efficiencies.
A full range of products has been designed for all operating frequencies (0.02 – 3000 kHz). Requirements for our soft magnetic materials can be very severe. Our concentrator products must work in a very wide range of frequencies, possess high magnetic permeabilities and saturation flux densities. They have stable mechanical properties, excellent machinability and resistance to elevated temperatures.
Fluxtrol concentrator features include (but not limited to) the following:
- Excellent thermal properties
- Cover all operating frequencies used in induction
- Outstanding mechanical properties
- Superior corrosion resistance
- Easy to machine & apply
- Simple in-field adjustments
- Can be used for quenchant delivery
- Possibility to use a structural component
- Wide range of inventoried items
- Strong technical support
The physical properties of Fluxtrol flux concentrators depend on the properties of their constituents and the technology of manufacturing. Our concentrators have a unique combination of electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical properties adjustable in a wide range, to match particular induction heating process requirements. According to the main purpose of their application they may be named concentrators, cores, screens and impeders.
Modern materials and technologies permit us to provide a complex mix of magnetic, mechanical, thermal and chemical properties for effective use in induction heating systems. The latest materials feature higher temperature resistance, improved mechanical strength, excellent machinability and a broader range of capability allowing for direct replacement of laminations and ferrites with improved results.
