Amorphous metal is a unique material that’s made by quickly cooling molten metal so that its atoms don’t form a regular crystal structure. This lack of a crystal pattern means that when magnetic flux passes through the metal, there is very little energy loss. The metal ribbons used in amorphous cores are extremely thin—about 0.03 mm, which is roughly 1/10 as thick as silicon steel. This thinness helps reduce energy loss from eddy currents. As a result, amorphous steel cores have around 1/5 of the energy loss compared to silicon steel cores.
We create high-quality amorphous cores for single-phase and three-phase distribution transformers based on customer specifications. These cores are made from top-grad...

We create high-quality amorphous cores for single-phase and three-phase distribution transformers based on customer specifications. These cores are made from top-grade Metglas® amorphous metal and are sometimes coated with epoxy to enhance their strength.
