Title: Problems finding M.E.G suitable C-cores (e.g METGLAS Powerlite)
Post by: NTesla on June 01, 2010, 04:32:20 AM
I have been attempting to replicate a M.E.G design using c-cores containing amorphous metals e.g METGLAS® Magnetic Alloy 2605SA1 (Iron-based).

I have tried http://www.metglas.com and http://www.magmet.com to no avail - nobody ever replies to my e-mails (or I don't receive them) and any inquiries made via their web sites results in no further contact.

Does anyone know where I can purchase - online - amorphous metals c-cores equivalent to the METGLAS® Magnetic Alloy 2605SA1 (Iron-based) types?

;D

You probably could try http://www.elnamagnetics.com
I've obtained MetGlas toroids in small quantities from them as a private person.
They keep stock of some MetGlas components.

I also encountered big delays in response by MetGlas themselves.
In some cases they responded after 6 weeks or more.

[Edit] Here's another link to a seller:
http://www.hilltech.com/products/power_components/amorphous_nanocrystalline_cores.html (http://www.hilltech.com/products/power_components/amorphous_nanocrystalline_cores.html)

@ romerouk
your link is absolute worthless. They don't sell amorphous C-cores.

Great! Thanks all :)

Will give those web sites a try.

Success!

I was able to purchase small quantities of AMCC-320 cores from the following company:

Whole Well Co. Ltd
http://www.wholewell.com.tw
Contact: Otto Yang (otto@wholewell.com.tw)

The other companies I contacted - only by e-mail due to phone costs - either did not reply or did not sell cores in small quantities.

;D

I take it you speak Taiwanese - that web-site you linked to is all Greek to me :D

Seriously though, the originator of the 'Hue device' (probably a Mr. Hue!) had been crying foul over Metglas cores for some time now (MIB's).  However he recently had a change of opinion when he had no problem contacting a Metglas rep. and they told him that while they were busy, it was 'business as usual' with them.  The below link would suggest he's may be becoming cynical again...

Both the places you list have 800 phone numbers.  Why not give them a call since it will be on their nickel.  Some places still aren't up to speed on email requests.  I'd pick up the phone.
