In 2025, ferrites will be among the indispensable materials in the electronics and electrical engineering industry. Especially in powder form, ferrites play a key role as they enable customised and precise magnetic properties that offer a significant competitive advantage in a wide range of applications.
But why exactly are ferrites in powder form more important today than ever before?
Industrial relevance and increasing importance of ferrite powders
As digitalisation and electrification progress, the demand for efficient magnetic materials is increasing enormously. Ferrite powders offer decisive advantages here by combining high magnetic efficiency with low losses.
These properties enable the production of more powerful and more compact electronic components. Ferrite powders therefore make a decisive contribution to further improving the energy efficiency and reliability of modern technologies.
Hard ferrites and soft ferrites - differences and applications
Ferrites are basically divided into two main categories: Hard ferrites and soft ferrites. Each category has specific properties that make them ideal for different applications.
Hard ferrites - permanent magnetisation for long-term stability
Hard ferrites, such as the Sr ferrite powder from NMD Metalpowders, are characterised by a high coercive field strength. This property ensures that they can retain their magnetic alignment over long periods of time. Typical applications for hard ferrites include
- Electric motors
- Generators
- Loudspeaker
- Magnetic holding devices
The special chemical stability and temperature resistance of the Sr ferrite powder ensures a long service life and high reliability of the components.
Soft ferrites - optimised for high-frequency and electronic applications
Soft ferrites impress with their low magnetic losses and high permeability, especially in high-frequency applications. NMD offers specialised ferrite powders such as the MnZn ferrite Mf197 and the NiZn ferrite powderwhich have been specifically developed for demanding applications:
- MnZn ferrite Mf197: Specially designed for transformers and high-frequency applications, it offers excellent permeability and low losses, ideal for telecoms equipment and electronic components.
- NiZn ferrite powder: Optimised for applications in power electronics and telecommunications, it guarantees efficient signal transmission and minimised losses.
