Elektrokonverter-Eisen Explanation: könnte dies nicht sein?? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-12-16 20:16:46 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Könnte, lässt sich aber mit Google nicht bestätigen. Dafür googelt sich \"Elektroofeneisen\" - wird also wohl eher dieses sein. http://www.foseco.de/foundryPractice/Aspekte_der_Giesspraxis... |

transformer iron, armature iron (Eisen für Transformatoren) Explanation: Habe folgende Erklärung gefunden: What is needed, then, is some method of increasing the resistance of the core to current flow without inhibiting the flow of magnetic flux. In mains transformers this is achieved by alloying the iron with about 3% of silicon. This lifts the resistivity to 4.5×10-7 Ω m. Depending upon the amount of silicon this material is called 'transformer iron', 'electrical iron' or 'armature iron'. The alternative name 'silicon steel' is a misnomer because steel is iron alloyed with carbon; and carbon does no good in a transformer core. The silicon does, though, increase the mechanical hardness of iron in the same way as carbon - try sawing up a transformer core and you'll discover this quickly. Hat also offenbar etwas mit Eisen für Transformatoren zu tun ... Reference: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread/t-16465.html |
