THE CORE OF MAGNETICS
Powdered (alloy) Iron Cores
Material: Made from fine particles of iron powder that are insulated and pressed together.
Permeability: Lower permeability compared to ferrite, but still sufficient for many applications.
Frequency Range: Suitable for lower frequency applications (typically below 1 MHz).
Saturation: Can handle higher magnetic flux densities without saturating, and saturation is more gradual.
Applications: Often used in power transformers, inductors, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) filters.

The differences between ferrite and powdered iron cores:
Ferrite Cores
Material: Made from ceramic material containing iron oxide mixed with other metallic elements.
Permeability: High permeability, which means they can easily be magnetized and demagnetized.
Frequency Range: Suitable for high-frequency applications (typically above 1 MHz).
Saturation: Tend to saturate at lower magnetic flux densities compared to powdered iron cores.*1
Applications: Commonly used in RF transformers, inductors, and antennas.

In summary, ferrite cores are better for high-frequency applications, while powdered iron cores are more suitable for low-frequency applications and can handle higher power without saturating.
