IEC 60424-2-2015 pdf download.Ferrite cores – Guidelines on the limits of surface irregularities – Part 2: RM-cores.
This part of IEC 60424 provides guidelines on the allowable limits of surface irregularities applicable to RM-cores in accordance with the relevant generic specification.
This standard should be considered as a sectional specification useful in the negotiations between ferrite core manufacturers and customers about surface irregularities. Normative reference

3 Limits of surface irregularities
3.1 Visual inspection and recommended limits
To facilitate quick identification of recommended limits for a given irregularity based on its location, the following subclauses are summarized in Table 1 .
3.2 Chips and ragged edges
3.2.1 Chips and ragged edges on mating surfaces
The areas of the chips located on the mating surfaces (C1 , C1 ′ and C1 ″ irregularities in Figure 1 ) shall not exceed the following limits:
– the cumulative area of the chips shall be less than 4 % of the total mating surface;
– the total length of the ragged edges shall be less than 25 % of the perimeter of the relevant surface.
3.2.2 Chips and ragged edges on other surfaces
The areas of the chips located on the other surfaces shall not exceed the following limits:
– The allowable chipping areas are doubled as compared to the limits for the mating surface (see Table 2).
– The rule for the ragged edges is the same as for the mating surface.
– Chips and ragged edges are not acceptable on the ridge of the clamping recess area.
– Chips and ragged edges are not acceptable on the inner edges of the wire slot area (see Figure 1 ).
The area and length references for visual inspection are given in Table 3.
3.3 Cracks
A single continuous crack which intersects the perimeter of the relevant surface at two points is not acceptable (see S1 , S1 ′ and S1 ″ irregularities in Figure 2).
The limits for cracks at various locations shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 are given in Table 4.
3.4 Flash
Figure 5 shows examples of flash location for an RM-core.
There shall be no flash extending from the core into the wire slot.
3.5 Pull-outs
Figure 5 and Figure 6 show examples of pull-outs location for RM-core.
The cumulative area of the pullouts on the bottom surface or the clamping recess area of the core shall be less than 25 % of the total respective surface area (including wire-way areas for the bottom surface).IEC 60424-2 pdf download.
