CarTech Hiperco 50A alloy is an iron-cobalt-vanadium soft magnetic alloy possessing high magnetic saturation (24 kilogauss), high D.C. maximum permeability, low D.C. coercive force, and low A.C. core loss. This alloy exhibits magnetic properties superior to those of other commercial iron-cobalt soft magnetic alloys.

In addition, Carpenter produces CarTech Hiperco 50 alloy which has nearly the same nominal analysis as CarTech Hiperco 50A alloy, but contains small additions of niobium and carbon for grain refinement to achieve higher mechanical strengths with only a slight sacrifice in magnetic properties. CarTech Hiperco 50 alloy's higher strength is necessary for rotating component laminations subject to stress from high rotational speeds. CarTech Hiperco 50 alloy has been used in strip form primarily for aircraft generators and motors. Contact Carpenter for technical data.

Applications:
CarTech Hiperco 50A alloy has been used primarily for magnetic cores in electrical equipment requiring high permeability at high magnetic flux densities. It has also been used in tape cores where lowest A.C. losses and high permeability at high inductions are desired.
