Magnetic materials - Part 6: Methods of measurement of the magnetic properties of magnetically soft metallic and powder materials at frequencies in the range 20 Hz to 200 kHz by the use of ring specimens (IEC 60404-6:2018)

This part of IEC 60404 specifies methods for the measurement of AC magnetic properties of
soft magnetic materials, other than electrical steels and soft ferrites, in the frequency range
20 Hz to 100 kHz. The materials covered by this part of IEC 60404 include those speciality
alloys listed in IEC 60404-8-6, amorphous and nano-crystalline soft magnetic materials,
pressed and sintered and metal injection moulded parts such as are listed in IEC 60404-8-9,
cast parts and magnetically soft composite materials.
The object of this part is to define the general principles and the technical details of the
measurement of the magnetic properties of magnetically soft materials by means of ring
methods. For materials supplied in powder form, a ring test specimen is formed by the
appropriate pressing method for that material.
The measurement of the DC magnetic properties of soft magnetic materials is made in
accordance with the ring method of IEC 60404-4. The determinations of the magnetic
characteristics of magnetically soft components are made in accordance with IEC 62044-3.
NOTE IEC 62044-3:2000 specifies methods for the measurement of AC magnetic characteristics of magnetically
soft components in the frequency range up to 10 MHz.
Normally, the measurements are made at an ambient temperature of (23 ± 5) °C on test
specimens which have first been magnetized, then demagnetized. Measurements can be
made over other temperature ranges by agreement between parties concerned.

FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60404-6 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 68: Magnetic alloys and steels. This third edition cancels and replaces the second published in 2003. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

Part 6: Methods of measurement of the magnetic properties of
magnetically soft metallic and powder materials at frequencies
in the range 20 Hz to 100 kHz by the use of ring specimens
1 Scope This part of IEC 60404 specifies methods for the measurement of AC magnetic properties of soft magnetic materials, other than electrical steels and soft ferrites, in the frequency range 20 Hz to 100 kHz. The materials covered by this part of IEC 60404 include those speciality alloys listed in IEC 60404-8-6, amorphous and nano-crystalline soft magnetic materials, pressed and sintered and metal injection moulded parts such as are listed in IEC 60404-8-9, cast parts and magnetically soft composite materials.

ISO/IEC Guide 98-3, Uncertainty of measurement – Part 3: Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement (GUM:1995) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in IEC 60050-121 and IEC 60050-221 apply. ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses: • IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/ • ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp 4 General principles of measurement 4.1 Principle of the ring method The measurements are made on a closed magnetic circuit in the form of a ring test specimen wound with two windings. 4.2 Test specimen The test specimen shall be in the form of a ring of rectangular cross-section which may be formed by a) winding thin strip or wire to produce a clock-spring wound toroidal core; or b) a stack of punched, laser cut, wire cut or photochemically etched ring laminations; or c) pressing and sintering of powders, metal injection moulding, 3D printing or casting. In the case of powder materials, the production of a ring test specimen by metal injection moulding or by pressing (with heating if applicable) shall be carried out in accordance with the material manufacturer's recommendations to achieve the optimum magnetic performance of the powder material. For all types of test specimen, burrs and sharp edges should be removed prior to heat treatment. It is preferable to enclose the test specimen in a two-part non-magnetic annular case. The case dimensions shall be such that it closely fits without introducing stress into the material of the test specimen. The ring shall have dimensions such that the ratio of the outer to inner diameter shall be no greater than 1,4 and preferably less than 1,25 to achieve a sufficiently homogenous magnetization of the test specimen.
For solid and pressed powder materials, the dimensions of the test specimen, that is the outer and inner diameters and the height of the ring, shall be measured with suitable calibrated instruments. The respective dimensions shall be measured at several locations on a test specimen and averaged. The cross-sectional area of the test specimen shall be calculated from Formula (1).

is the cross-sectional area of the test specimen, in square metres; D
is the outer diameter of the test specimen, in metres; d
is the inner diameter of the test specimen, in metres; h
is the height of the test specimen, in metres.
For a stack of laminations or a toroidal wound core, the cross-sectional area of the test specimen shall be calculated from the mass, density and the values of the inner and outer diameter of the ring specimen. The mass and diameters shall be measured with suitable calibrated instruments. The density shall be the conventional density for the material supplied by the manufacturer. The cross-sectional area shall be calculated from Formula (2).
()dDmA + =
ρπ2 (2) where m
is the mass of the test specimen, in kilograms; ρ is the density of the material, in kilograms per cubic metre. For the calculation of the magnetic field strength, the mean magnetic path length of the test specimen determined from Formula (3) shall be used.
()2mdD = l +

is the mean magnetic path length of the test specimen, in metres. NOTE For measurements of magnetically soft components, an effective core cross-sectional area and an effective magnetic path length are used (described in IEC 62044-3:2000). The difference in results between material measurements and component measurements is larger when the ratio of the outer to inner diameter is larger. If the specific total loss is to be determined, the mass of the test specimen shall be measured with a suitable calibrated balance. 4.3 Windings The test specimen shall be wound with a magnetizing winding and a secondary winding (see Annex A). The numbers of turns depend upon the measuring equipment and method being used. The secondary winding shall be wound as closely as possible to the test specimen to minimize the effect of air flux enclosed between the test specimen and the secondary winding. All windings shall be wound uniformly over the whole length of the test specimen. For measurements at frequencies above power frequencies, care shall be taken to avoid complications related to capacitance and other effects. These are introduced and discussed in Annex A. Care shall be taken to ensure that the wire insulation is not damaged during the winding process causing a short circuit to the test specimen. An electrical check shall be made with a suitable AC insulation resistance measuring device to ensure that there is no direct connection between the windings and the test specimen.

IEC 60404-6:2018 © IEC 2018 – 9 –
5 Temperature measurements When the temperature of the surface of the test specimen is required, it shall be measured by affixing a calibrated non-magnetic thermocouple (for example a type T thermocouple) to the test specimen. Where the test specimen is enclosed in an annular case, a small hole shall be made in the case, taking care not to damage the material of the test specimen, and the thermocouple fixed in contact with the test specimen. If this is not possible, the thermocouple shall be affixed to the case and this procedure shall be reported in the test report. The thermocouple shall be connected to a suitable calibrated voltmeter in order to measure its output voltage which can be related to the corresponding temperature through the calibration tables for the thermocouple. Where the temperature of the test specimen is found to vary with time after magnetization, the measurements of the magnetic properties shall be carried out either when an agreed temperature is reached or after a time agreed between the parties concerned. If measurements are to be made at elevated temperatures, these may be carried out with the test specimen placed in a suitable oven to produce the required temperature. A second smaller time-dependent magnetic relaxation effect can also affect the magnetic properties. For the types of materials covered by this document, the effect is usually masked by temperature changes. However, if such magnetic relaxation effects become apparent, then the test specimen should dwell at the prescribed magnetic flux density or magnetic field strength for an agreed period of time before making the final measurements. 6 Measurement of the relative amplitude permeability and the AC magnetization curve 6.1 General The measurements are made using the ring method at frequencies normally from 20 Hz to 100 kHz, the upper frequency being limited by the performance of the instrumentation. Where suitable calibrated instruments exist and careful winding to reduce interwinding capacitance has been performed, this upper limit may be extended to 1 MHz (See Annex A). 6.2 Apparatus and connections The apparatus shall be connected as shown in Figure 1. NOTE 1 Figure 3 can be used for the measurement of the relative amplitude permeability and the magnetization curve using the digital sampling technique.

r.m.s. voltmeter Figure 1 – Circuit of the measurement apparatus When conducting sinusoidal current measurements, a non-inductive precision resistor should be connected in series with the magnetizing winding N1 to guarantee that the magnetizing circuit resistance is at least ten times greater than the impedance of the magnetizing winding N1 on the test specimen. The source of alternating current shall have a variation of voltage and frequency at its output individually not exceeding ± 0,2 % of the adjusted value during the measurement. It shall be connected to a true r.m.s. or peak reading ammeter, or a true r.m.s. or peak reading voltmeter and a parallel non-inductive precision resistor, in series with the magnetizing winding N1 on the test specimen, to measure the magnetizing current. The secondary circuit comprises a secondary winding N2 connected to two voltmeters in parallel. One voltmeter V2 measures the true r.m.s. value, the other voltmeter V1 measures the average rectified value but is somet
