TEST METHOD FOR THE MECHANICAL STRENGTH
OF CORES MADE OF MAGNETIC OXIDES
FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization
comprising all national electrotechnical committee (IEC National Committee). The object of the IEC is to
promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic
fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt
with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations
liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the
two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the
form of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the
subject of patent rights. The IEC shall not be responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61631 has been prepared by technical committee 51: Magnetic
components and ferrite materials.
This bilingual version (2001-12) replaces the English version.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
51/599/FDIS 51/610/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Annex A forms an integral part of this standard.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged
until 2005. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
The method specified in this standard is intended to be used for obtaining agreements between
parties for material development, quality checking, characterization and data acquisition
purposes. The method places closely defined restrictions on the arrangement of the test-piece
and the function of the test apparatus, including the test-jigs, in order to minimize the errors
that can arise as a consequence of the test method.
All other factors are required to be stated in the test report in order to be allowed for in the
comparison of the behavior of the magnetic oxide cores. It is not possible to rigorously
standardize particular surface finishes, since it is difficult to control all the mechanical factors.
But, it is absolutely essential to mention the state of the surface in the report, as surface
defects can have a large effect on mechanical strength in certain types of tests (see clause 6).
The extrapolation of mechanical strength data to other geometries, to multi-axial stressing, to
other rates of stressing or to other environmental conditions, should be viewed with caution.
The origin of a fracture in a mechanical test piece can be a valuable guide to the nature and
position of strength-limiting defects (such as pores, large grains and impurity concentration).
The results of strength tests are influenced by a combination of the following factors: the micro-
structure of the material, the surface finishing procedure applied to the test cores, the size and
shape of the test cores, the mechanical parameters of the testing apparatus, the rate of load
application and the relative humidity of the ambient atmosphere. Because of the ceramic
nature of magnetic oxide cores, a considerable range of results is usually obtained from a
number of nominally identical test cores. Thus test results need to be interpreted with caution.

TEST METHOD FOR THE MECHANICAL STRENGTH
OF CORES MADE OF MAGNETIC OXIDES
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a test method for the mechanical strength of cores made
of magnetic oxides. This test method is suitable for most of the E-cores, ETD-cores and
I-cores but other core types such as U-cores could be tested according to a derived method
agreed by the parties concerned.
