Soft Magnetic Iron Powder

SM1001 Soft Magnetic Iron Powder

SM1001 is an ultra-pure soft magnetic iron powder designed for soft magnetic powder metallurgy (P/M) applications. Its primary characteristics include high purity, cleanliness, consistency, and compressibility. SM1001 contains exceptionally low levels of carbon, oxygen, sulfur, and manganese, supporting high magnetic permeability, high induced magnetization, and low coercive force. High-purity virgin raw materials containing low residual elements, combined with clean steel-making practices, provide a high level of powder cleanliness. Statistical process control, pure raw materials, and modern steel-making practices support product homogeneity and lot-to-lot consistency, improving consistency in P/M parts. A single-pressed density up to 7.2 g/cm³ can be achieved, making SM1001 suitable for high-density P/M magnetic parts while reducing tool stress and providing superior magnetic properties.

SM1001 is used in electronic components, magnetic shielding, magnetic materials research, powder metallurgy components, and other applications requiring soft magnetic properties. Its soft magnetic characteristics allow the material to be magnetized and demagnetized readily. High permeability, low coercivity, and low hysteresis loss support efficient magnetic performance.

For customers searching for SMALLOY or other Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC) materials, SM1001 is the closest in-stock product available. SMALLOY is a custom-produced SMC product system supplied by special order with a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 5,000 lbs. SM1001 differs from coated SMC materials because its iron particles are uncoated. As a result, SM1001 is intended for cold casting soft magnetic products rather than applications that specifically require individually coated SMC particles.

SM1001 is suitable for manufacturing companies specializing in magnetic materials, research and development departments in the electronics industry, engineers and scientists working with magnetic materials, industrial designers developing products requiring magnetic properties, academic institutions studying magnetic materials, and other users requiring high-purity soft magnetic iron powder.
