General Informations about Microwires
The microwire metal core may be produced from:
- pure metal: Ag, Au, Cu, Ni, Pt etc.
- resistive Cu-Ni-Si-Mn, Ni-Cr-Si etc. composition alloys
- magnetic amorphous Fe-B-Si, Co-Fe-B-Si, Co-Mn-B-Si etc. composition alloys with:
- Natural Ferromagnetic Resonance
- Magnetic Bistable Behavior
- High Permeability at Frequencies up to 30 MHz
This is a microscopic view of an microwire (scale 1:1,000). You can select the material of the microwire example by standing with the mouse pointer on one of the materials or compositions listed above:
| Pure metal | Resistive | Magnetic |
|---|---|---|
|
Ag (Silver) Au (Gold) Cu (Copper) Ni (Nickel) Pt (Platinum) |
Cu-Ni-Si-Mn Ni-Cr-Si |
Fe-B-Si Co-Fe-B-Si Co-Mn-B-Si |
