THE BEST SOFT MAGNETIC MATERIALS POWER THE MOST EFFICIENT MORE-ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT

Our alloys have helped transport precious cargo for decades

HIGHER POWER AND TORQUE DENSITY ENABLE SMALLER AIRCRAFT APUS AND GENERATORS

Defense_APU_TextModule
The right stuff

The recent introduction of more-electric aircraft means the aerospace industry will depend on our soft magnetic materials even more to build aircraft with more power-dense on-board power generation systems.

The best soft magnetic alloys in the aerospace industry build state-of-the-art:

  • Aircraft integrated drive generators (IGDs)
  • Auxiliary power units (APUs)
  • Electric motors
  • Avionics

Helping critical aircraft sub-systems meet the mission with:

  • Higher power and torque density for size and weight reduction
  • Efficient power generation for improved fuel efficiency, maintenance and passenger comfort
  • Low core loss results in less heat generation - ideal for continuous, extended use
  • Longer motor and generator life reduces lifetime maintenance costs
No other alloys stack up

Stator and rotor lamination stacks made with our best-in-class Hiperco® and Hypocore® soft magnetic alloys enable optimized electric aircraft design:

  • Available for high-volume production — now
  • Built to spec at advanced manufacturing facilities

Our soft magnetic alloy experts bring you full-service support, from concept to production:

  • Prototyping
  • Design flexibility and optimization
  • Product ramp
  • Supply chain management

Our Hiperco® and Hypocore® alloys and stator and rotor stacks are available in high volume production to all industry specifications from state-of-the-art plants. Our full-service support covers prototyping, design flexibility and optimization, product ramp and supply chain management.
