Hiperco® 50A Alloy Supply
Hiperco® 50A alloy is an iron-cobalt-vanadium that has high magnetic saturation and high mechanical strength. Hiperco 50A has the highest magnetic saturation (24 Kg or 2.4 T) of all soft-magnetic alloys combined with low values of coercive force of 0.4 Oe or 32 A/m allowing demagnetisation to be easily achieved.
Hiperco 50A has superior magnetic properties to other iron-cobalt soft magnetic alloys.

Hiperco® 50A Alloy Applications
Hiperco 50A works as a flux concentrator for high flux applications such as radiology. This alloy is also used in actuators, specialty transformers and magnetic bearing applications. The ability to improve motor efficiency can enable the motor/generator to be reduced.
Examples of Hiperco® 50A applications:
- Transformer laminations
- Tape toroids
- Medical radiology applications
- High magnetic flux devices and instruments
- Electromagnetic pole pieces
- Aerospace generators and motors
