Aeroperm - Material

MORE WORK. LESS HEAT.

Aeroperm® revolutionizes electric motors with groundbreaking technology, integrating a 2.0 Tesla magnetic flux density and reduced core losses for unparalleled power and efficiency. It delivers higher torque and power without increasing motor size or energy consumption while minimizing heat generation for cooler operation and enhanced reliability. Aeroperm® overcomes traditional motor limitations, offering more work with less heat.

MATERIAL PROPERTIES

Insulation System
Thermally cured insulation coatings are available on request.

Form of Delivery
Ready to use cores can be supplied based on customer specifications. This includes the supply of block cores, wound cores (c-core and toroidal) or cores for electric motors. Unprocessed laminations (ribbon) are not available.

Corrosion resistance
Aeroperm™ is a chromium-free iron-based alloy and so a finish coating is required for corrosion resistance. This is applied prior to delivery of finished cores.

Material handling
To maintain ideal magnetic properties, it is important to avoid exposing finished cores to mechanical stress and temperatures exceeding the maximum service temperature.

Recycling
Further details about our Aeroperm™ recycling program on request.

AEROPERM NANO20

  • Kite Magnetics Aeroperm™ series of nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloys offer core losses up to one-tenth that of conventional non-oriented 3 wt % iron-silicon steels without sacrificing saturation magnetic polarisation.
  • An ultra-low core loss is made possible due to the unique microstructure of nanocrystalline alloys, their low thickness and relatively high electrical resistivity.
  • Aeroperm™ is the world’s first nanocrystalline alloy to exceed a saturation magnetic polarisation of 2 Tesla, making it directly comparable with conventional iron-silicon steels, enabling a new generation of high specific power density electric machines.
  • Using Kite Magnetics proprietary production process nanocrystalline ferromagnetic cores can be produced in a range of required geometries and are resistant to mechanical damage.
ENABLING THE ELECTRIFICATION OF EVERYTHING

APPLICATIONS INCLUDE:

AUTOMOTIVE

Aeroperm® enhances automotive electric motors by significantly improving energy efficiency, resulting in extended vehicle range and reduced energy consumption. Its advanced design minimizes heat generation, enabling simpler cooling systems and contributing to overall system efficiency. Aeroperm® is essential for advancing next-generation electric and hybrid vehicles, optimizing performance while maintaining compact, lightweight motor designs.

TRANSPORT

Aeroperm® enhanced commercial transport vehicles benefit significantly from increased power density and torque in a compact, lightweight design, with lower heat generation and smaller cooling systems that further reduce overall vehicle mass, enabling greater payload capacity, extended range, and lower total cost of ownership.

OFF-HIGHWAY

Aeroperm® is used in off-highway applications to enhance the performance and efficiency of electric motors in vehicles such as construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and mining vehicles. By providing higher power density and torque in a compact, lightweight design, Aeroperm® enables these heavy-duty machines to operate more efficiently with reduced fuel consumption.
