Nanoceramics

Solutions are based on high-pressure sintering of ceramics – a method invented and developed by our team. Soft magnetic ceramics used for the production of coils are made of a mixture of iron and boron nitrite. The modified composition of the mixture allows to modulate resistance and the saturation level of the magnetic induction in ceramics produced. This allows for the application of such materials in a vast range of frequencies, with components being smaller, while transferring more energy at reduced production costs.
