Question 320

Which of the following materials has the highest temperature stability of its magnetic characteristics?

  1. Brass
  2. Powdered ironCorrect answer
  3. Ferrite
  4. Aluminum

Explanation

Of the materials listed, powdered iron holds its magnetic properties best as temperature changes; ferrite offers a much stronger magnetic response but that response and its losses drift considerably with temperature and it loses its magnetism entirely above the Curie point. Brass and aluminum are non-magnetic and are not used as magnetic cores at all.
