CarTech Hiperco 50 HS alloy is an iron-cobalt-vanadium soft magnetic alloy which exhibits high magnetic saturation (24 kilogauss) and a unique combination of high yield strength and moderate core loss. The alloy contains a niobium addition for grain refinement during mill processing and final heat treating to produce higher yield strength than conventional CarTech Hiperco 50 alloy.

Applications:
CarTech Hiperco 50 HS alloy strip should be considered a candidate for use in the manufacture of rotor laminations for aircraft power generation applications and for magnetic bearings.

These laminations are stamped from cold rolled strip and must be final annealed in a protective atmosphere or vacuum environment at a temperature which will provide an optimum combination of magnetic and mechanical properties to withstand the high stresses encountered in service.
