Read MoreWhat are Soft Magnetics?
When we added Soft Magnetics to our magnetic products portfolio, one of the most common questions we were then asked was ‘What are soft magnetics?’ Simply, soft magnetic materials are those that can be easily magnetised and demagnetised and their primary use is to enhance and/or channel the flux produced by an electric current. Soft…
