Iron Nitride Soft Magnetics
Established in 1963, the R&D 100 Awards is the only S&T (science and technology) awards competition that recognizes new commercial products, technologies, and materials for their technological significance that are available for sale or license. The R&D 100 Awards, celebrating the program's 60th Anniversary this year, has long been a benchmark of excellence for industry sectors as diverse as telecommunications, high-energy physics, software, manufacturing, and biotechnology. This 2022 R&D 100 winner is listed below, along with its respective category.
Category: Process/Prototyping
Developers: Sandia National Laboratories
Co-Developers: University of California, Irvine
United States
Product Description:Iron nitride (Fe4N) is a high magnetization (1.89 T) and resistivity (200 μΩ•m) soft magnetic alloy capable of operating at temperatures exceeding 200 °C. Fe4N will increase the efficiency of smart grid power electronics, transformers, and electric machines while reducing their size and weight by an order of magnitude.
