View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)

Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.

METGLAS Alloy 2605S-3 is an amorphous iron-base soft magnetic alloy that can be annealed to obtain a round B-H loop which results in very low core loss at high frequencies (>1kHz). Because of its high saturation induction relative to ferrites or permalloys, significant size reductions are possible in high-frequency devices by utilizing this alloy. Unlike ferrites, it is suitable for use over a wide operating temperature range without cracking or showing large drops in usable flux density. Its uses include numerous high-frequency devices.
