Ferrotron

Ferrotron® 559 (Metallic Polymer Alloy)

Ferrotron is a non-conductive magnetic material consisting of pure iron powder uniformly dispersed in an insulating plastic binder. The small iron particles form very small paths which, coupled with the insulating properties of the binder, result in high permeability low hysteresis losses and temperature resistance up to 300°C.

Ferrotron is a metallic / polymeric alloy of a very pure iron and high performance organics binders. it is easily machined - filed, sawn, milled, drilled, tapped, tuned or ground to your finished design without cracking or chipping. This combination of properties makes 'Ferrotron' an ideal intensifying material for induction hardening, particularly of 'difficult' parts, such as gear wheels, ball grooves and dovetailed slides. Reductions in heating time of up to 600% can be obtained with Ferrotron inserts. Ferrotron is supplied in round and square sections in a range of diameters and lengths.
