Magnetic cores are key components in power electronics and electromagnetic devices, and are widely used in various power transformers, inductors, motors, generators, electronic inverters, switching power supplies and other equipment. Magnetic cores can effectively regulate and convert voltage, concentrate and guide magnetic fields, improving equipment performance and efficiency. In addition, magnetic cores can also be used in fields such as magnetic storage devices and suppression of electromagnetic interference.

In the production and manufacturing process of magnetic cores, due to material characteristics and process complexity, some quality problems and defects are prone to occur, mainly including:

Material inhomogeneity: Due to the uneven distribution of the structure and composition of magnetic materials, local magnetic properties may be poor and hysteresis loops may not be ideal.

Manufacturing defects: such as cracks, pores, mechanical damage and other defects in processes such as die pressing, sintering and cutting.

Dimensional deviation: The size and shape of the magnetic core may exceed the allowable tolerance, affecting assembly and use.

Poor insulation performance: The insulating coating on the surface of the magnetic core is uneven, which may cause problems such as leakage and short circuit.

Therefore, it is very important to carry out the necessary inspections on the magnetic core.
