Sintered Ferrite Powder

The Fair-Rite selection of ferrite materials in sintered powder form is made from the same base material as their solid ferrite components. Sintered powder will not match the performance characteristics of solid ferrite components but may be useful for a variety of experimental and production applications.

Most ferrite components are pressed before firing; this pressure allows them to form continuous crystalline structures during firing. Since sintered powder products are not pressed, they do not form continuous crystalline structures. Instead, there is free space between each particle. The net result is that the normal properties associated with a pressed component-permeability, temperature response, and saturation–will be muted in sintered powder of the same material. This makes sintered powder well-suited for use in areas where air would already exist.
