Hello. I am trying to design an EI-core electromagnet (think two c-shaped cores with their gaps abutting). The coils would go on the top and bottom legs of the E (legs B and C in my sketch). There is a sketchbelow and you can find one here: http://www.everychina.com/m-ei-core?cpc_kw=ei core lamination&cpc_flag=c66082
I had a few questions
1. does anyone foresee any problem with making it in two c-shaped halves (1/2 A+C+1/2 D and its mirror on B) then joining the two?
2. Would it be better to make it as an E and an I and join them? If so, why?
3. I have the chance to make this out of iron or steel, and maybe ferrite. It's being run DC so my thought was iron (relatively cheap, good permeability, and customizable). Does anyone foresee problems with iron?
Thanks to all.
