Stainless Steel In Latching Relay 1

tomd3583 · Oct 19, 2006

The core for the latching relay that I currently use is no longer made at the specs I need (vacozet 258). The coercivity is 26 Oe. I was wondering if there was a magnetic stainless steel that I can use. It has to change poles with a short current pulse and act as a weak permanent magnet after the current pulse to hold the relay latch.

I used to use Vicalloy for this application, but that was 20 years ago. There are some stainless grades that might work, but controlling coercivity is going to be trickey.
