Steel and Iron - Magnetic materials – specification for individual material – Fe based amorphous strip delivered in the semi-processed state.
Summry
Fe-based amorphous strip is a soft magnetic material made by rapid solidification of iron-based alloys, resulting in a non-crystalline structure. Delivered in a semi-processed state, it offers very low core loss, high permeability, and is widely used in transformers, inductors, and energy-efficient electrical equipment.
Why BIS Certificate is Mandatory for Magnetic materials – specification for individual material – Fe based amorphous strip delivered in the semi-processed state. ?
BIS certification is mandatory to ensure Fe-based amorphous strips comply with Indian Standards for magnetic properties, chemical composition, thickness tolerance, and surface quality. Certification ensures consistent performance, energy efficiency, and safety in electrical applications, while preventing the use of substandard magnetic materials in critical power and electronic systems.
What is BIS Certified for Magnetic materials – specification for individual material – Fe based amorphous strip delivered in the semi-processed state. ?
The BIS certified specification defines requirements for Fe-based amorphous strips supplied in semi-processed condition. It specifies limits for chemical composition, magnetic properties such as core loss and permeability, dimensional tolerances, surface condition, testing methods, and inspection criteria to ensure reliable performance in magnetic and electrical applications.
