High Temperature Soft Magnetic Materials

The objective is to develop high temperature magnetic materials characterized by low coercivity, high permeability, and low core loss (magnetically soft). These materials will be used in electric airplanes, ships and automobiles where no hydraulic cooling system is needed. . The major obstacle is the mechanical strength of the materials. We are developing composite materials using various reinforcement agents such as fibers to overcome this.
