AlphaForm - Flexible Concentrator

FLEXIBLE CONCENTRATOR - AlphaForm®

A flexible, soft magnetic composite based on magnetic particles with a thermosetting epoxy binder. This material can be used for quick and efficient mounting to inductors.

Depending on the frequency of operation of the device, we distinguish between two different types of materials:
- AlphaForm LF (frequency 1-80 kHz) and
- AlphaForm MF (frequency 10-1000 kHz)

• AlphaForm at room temperature is a plastic mass, but it can be even more flexible when heated to a temperature not exceeding 60 ° C.
• Can be molded on the coil surface and repeatedly heated during molding to a temperature not exceeding 60 ° C.
• The AlphaForm material should be firmly pressed against the coil, eg with a PTFE tape, in order to prevent possible displacement during curing.
• AlphaForm curing is achieved by heating in an oven at 120 ° C for 1 hour, then increasing the temperature to 190 ° C for an additional hour.
• After heating, the coil with the hardened AlphaForm material is ready for use - the heater can be started.
• No processing of the hardened material is required. However, if desired, AlphaForm can be machined or ground to a more desired shape.
• More information in the specification sheets.
• The material is delivered to users in tin boxes that must be kept low (preferably in a refrigerator) to extend the shelf life.
