Ultimate Soft Magnetic Performance! DT4C Industrial Pure Iron Characteristics, Applications, And Dedicated DT4C AC Relay Iron Core Solutions

Jan 21, 2026 Leave a message

DT4C is an industrial pure iron grade, belonging to the electrical pure iron series in the Chinese national standard (GB/T 6980). It is renowned for its excellent soft magnetic properties, including low coercivity, high permeability, and low iron loss. It is a high-purity iron with extremely low carbon content and strictly controlled impurities, widely used in DT4C AC Relay Iron Cores requiring high-efficiency magnetic circuits and low hysteresis losses.

 

"DT" is an abbreviation of "Dian Gong Tie" (electric iron), where "4" represents the pure iron type and "C" represents its magnetic performance grade, typically indicating superior magnetic properties (especially lower coercivity and higher permeability) compared to grades like DT4, DT4A, and DT4E.

DT4C AC Relay Iron Core

 

Core Characteristics

Extremely Low Coercivity (Hc): This is the most prominent characteristic of DT4C for Grooved Core for AC Relay. Extremely low coercivity means the material is very easy to magnetize and demagnetize, with a very narrow hysteresis loop and minimal hysteresis loss. High saturation magnetic flux density (Bs): Approaching the theoretical value of pure iron (approximately 2.15 T), capable of handling high magnetic flux density.

 

High permeability (μ): Both initial and maximum permeability are high, effectively concentrating and conducting magnetic field lines, improving magnetic circuit efficiency.

 

Low iron loss: Primarily composed of extremely low hysteresis loss, with relatively low eddy current loss (which can be further reduced through lamination).

 

Good plasticity and machinability: The material is soft, facilitating cold working of the AC Relay Core and Copper Ring, including stamping, shearing, and bending.

 

Good weldability: Can be welded using conventional methods.

 

Sensitive to processing and heat treatment: Cold working and mechanical stress significantly degrade the magnetic properties of the AC Core for Industrial Relay (increasing coercivity and decreasing permeability). Therefore, stress-relief annealing is necessary before final use.
