New high temperature self-bonding magnet wire

Abstract

A new high temperature, self-bonding magnet wire has been developed, with greatly improved bond strength retention at temperatures in excess of 180/spl deg/C. This new development is the first self-bonding magnet wire to be suitable for use in armatures, rotors and high temperature applications. In addition to its improved thermal properties, this new wire also exhibits excellent chemical resistance, particularly to diesel and gasoline fuels, making it suitable for specialized automotive applications.
