    MnCu Manganese Copper Ferrite?

    Thanks for the advice and help. I will try the manufacturers that you suggested.

    MnCu Manganese Copper Ferrite?

    Effectively, yes, I want something demagnetised at above say 50 deg to study the effect on some sensors that are sensitive to magnetic fields and whether this will remove a degree of 'noise' from our system or lead us to redesign the packaging. But below 50 I want it magnetised for their usual...

    MnCu Manganese Copper Ferrite?

    The property I am specifically looking for is the curie temperature, I have a technical paper that states that the curie temp of MnCu ferrites can be made to be around 50 degreesC. Most other ferrites are above 100degC (at least those I have come across.

    MnCu Manganese Copper Ferrite?

    Hi FiatfLux, MnCu ferrites are a bit of an off the wall suggestion for my research and I have many other materials that I will be looking at, it's just that these seemed quite promising and didn't want to leave them out of the study. There are plenty of companies manufacturing other ferrites...

    MnCu Manganese Copper Ferrite?

    Does anybody know a manufcturer of Manganese Copper Ferrites? I am looking for a ferrite that has a low curie temperature and have found a paper that shows various MnCu ferrites with curie temps between 50-100 degC. They seem to have been used i nthe 1960s and 70s but were surpassed by other...

    Preisach and BH curves

    Of course I can use Kaye+Laby or similar to give me the initial permeability then I just need the raleigh coefficients of things like steel and Iron. So my question now becomes where can I get good data for initial permeability and raleigh coefficients of materials?

    Preisach and BH curves

    Ok, to partially answer my question - at these field strengths I could use Raleighs Law. Given this all I need then is a curve of the initial magnetisation of the material or even better is a method of calculating this for materials such as steel?

    Preisach and BH curves

    Hello all, I am looking into how to model the material properties of various materials in FEA. I need to be able to use BH curves in this process. If I wanted to use the Preisach model for hysteresis, how can I get the parameters alpha, beta and gamma? Can they be calculated from a material BH...

    zener diode voltage divider

    thanks all for you replies. I did not want to use a set of resistors for the voltage divider as I wantd a very stable voltage. Also I was trying to avoid using a voltage regulator for something cheaper. What sort of silicon diodes would I need to use for this application? Many thanks Andrew

    zener diode voltage divider

    I don't need a lot of current approx 300uA.

    zener diode voltage divider

    Thanks for the reply VE1BLL, The problem this is just an off-shoot of a larger ciruit. The 9V is needed to run an amplifier so I cannot use a 1.5V battery unless I add this in a almost a seperate circuit but this will take up too much space within the device. I would prefer to use the second...

    zener diode voltage divider

    hello all again, quick qs I need to get a 1.5v supply from a 9v battery. I want to use a zener diode to do this. attached are two drawings 1st with a 7.5V zener in series, the second with a 1.5v zener in parallel. Am I right in thinking that you cannot get a 1.5V zener diode. Therefore does the...

    Sony DAT recorder

    Hello all, Has any body else experienced this problem? A colleague has been using a Sony SIR1000 Dat recorder and used to read the data from the DAT tape using PCSCAN 3. I believe this is the software that came with the recorder. After reading the tape of say x recordings apparently what you...

    GUN SHOT

    Fantastic, just what I wanted. Thanks

    GUN SHOT

    I am doing a quick look into health and safety ear defenders for gun shot. Does anyone have an idea of the frequency spectrum of a typical gun shot? I have various sources that give a dB figure but no frequency info. ANy one got or know of a graph showing this data? Any gun will do fo now but...
