SMC
SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound) and Pressing Technology
SMC (Soft Magnetic Compound) is a magnetic material commonly used in stamping technology. SMC consists of a mixture of finely ground iron particles, binders and optionally other additives. This mixture is pressed under high pressure to form a solid workpiece.
Here you will find information on press technology and related aspects that need to be considered when processing SMC:
- Forming and Compression: Pressing techniques allow the SMC to be formed and compressed into desired shapes such as rings, discs, or more complex shapes. High pressure compresses the SMC, resulting in high permeability and low loss.
- Pressure and Temperature: Both pressure and temperature are critical in SMC's press technology. Pressure achieves optimal compaction and densification of the SMC, while temperature affects the strength of the binder that holds the iron particles. Careful control of these parameters is critical to achieve the desired magnetic properties of the SMC.
- Magnetic Field Tuning: Pressing technology also makes it possible to specifically tune the magnetic field tuning of the SMC. By applying an external magnetic field during the pressing process, the magnetic orientation of the iron particles can be controlled. This enhances the magnetic performance of SMC in specific directions.
- Material Homogeneity: SMC's pressing technology requires a homogeneous mixture of iron particles, binders and other additives. Uniform material distribution ensures consistent magnetic performance and minimizes workpiece non-uniformity.
Pressing technology plays a key role in the production of SMC, enabling efficient production of magnetic components with specific properties. Careful parameter control and quality assurance enable us to produce high quality his SMC workpieces with optimized magnetic properties.
