ferrite or just steel for low B
ferrite or just steel for low B
(OP)
For a torodial core in which I'm looking for a B max of maybe 60mT and I'm not looking for high frequency performance is there a need to use ferrite? I'm not really concerned about losses - just looking for something fairly linear (BH curve) for low values of B. I'm thinking steel would be fine but I can't find data on how linear it is with small flux densities.





RE: ferrite or just steel for low B
Most books on magnetics should have a BH curve for steel at low values of B.
