irreversible losses
Materials science; Magnetics
Partial demagnetization of the magnet, caused by exposure to high or low temperatures, external fields, shock, vibration, or other factors. These losses are only recoverable by ...
isotropic
Materials science; Magnetics
(non-oriented) A material with no preferred direction of orientation resulting in the same magnetic characteristics through any axis.
isotropic material
Materials science; Magnetics
A material that can be magnetized along any axis or direction (a magnetically unoriented material). The opposite of Anisotropic Magnet.
keeper
Materials science; Magnetics
A soft iron piece temporarily added between the poles of a magnetic circuit to protect it from demagnetizing influences. Also called a shunt. Not needed for Neodymium and other ...
kilogauss
Materials science; Magnetics
One Kilogauss = 1,000 Gauss = Maxwells per square centimeter.
magnet
Materials science; Magnetics
A magnet is an object made of certain materials which create a magnetic field. A material that has the property, either natural or induced, of attracting iron or steel. Every ...
magnetic circuit
Materials science; Magnetics
Consists of all elements, including air gaps and non-magnetic materials that the magnetic flux from a magnet travels on, starting from the north pole of the magnet to the south ...
