See how a standard hairpin induction coil transforms when you add Alphaform soft magnetic composite.
In our short side‑by‑side demonstration, the same coil is run first bare on the left, then with Alphaform applied to the outside of the copper on the right.
Equipping copper coils with soft magnetic composites allows magnetic flux to be concentrated into the workpiece instead of spreading into the surrounding space. Alphaform enables your coils to:
- Increase heating intensity
- Shorten cycle times
- Reduce stray heating of nearby components
The result is faster, more energy‑efficient heating and tighter control over your heat pattern in real‑world production setups.
If you design, run, or troubleshoot induction coils, this is a quick, high‑impact visual that’s worth 45 seconds of your time. Click the button below to watch the full demo on YouTube and see efficiency in action with Alphaform.

Product Spotlight: Alphaform LF & MF — Moldable SMCs for Coil Optimization
Fluxtrol’s Alphaform family combines the performance of our soft magnetic composites with a moldable, form‑in‑place format, giving coil designers a practical way to tune field distribution directly on the coil. Alphaform LF is engineered for low‑frequency applications, where deeper heat penetration and strong field control are required, while Alphaform MF is tuned for medium to high frequency ranges common in precision surface heating and brazing.
Both materials start as a formable composite that can be pressed or sculpted around complex coil geometries, then cured in place to create a robust flux concentrator with excellent adhesion and durability. This approach minimizes machining, speeds up prototyping, and makes retrofitting existing coils much easier compared to fully machined components.
By concentrating magnetic flux into the workpiece and reducing stray fields, Alphaform LF and MF help improve heating efficiency, shorten cycle times, and protect nearby components from unintended heating.
If you are working on a new process, updating an existing coil, or troubleshooting inconsistent heat patterns, Alphaform can be a powerful tool in your design toolbox.
