high saturation material for round rod
high saturation material for round rod
(OP)
I'm looking at having to design a custom relay with not a lot of space for magnetics. I have space for a long coil and am looking to drive it with as much flux density as possible. For production, I'm guessing that a powder metal part is the way to go. For prototyping, what would be a good choice for about a 3/8 diameter armature round? I'll be turning part of it down and am o.k. with having to anneal it afterwords.

It is tough to beat a low carbon steel like 1002 if the filed is low.
If the initial perm is not an issue then using 1020 will work just as well.
PM tends to have lower B because the density is less.

The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which depends on a feature that isn't included in this version of Windows.

It will be a DC voltage on the coil. I have a request in to Cartech for suggested materials. I'll take a look at VACUUMSCHMELZE.
