Magnetics
material grade
Materials science; Magnetics
Neodymium (NdFeB) magnets are graded by the magnetic material from which they are manufactured. Generally speaking, the higher the grade of material, the stronger the magnet. Neodymium magnets ...
maximum energy product
Materials science; Magnetics
The magnetic field strength at the point of maximum energy product of a magnetic material. The field strength of fully saturated magnetic material measured in Mega Gauss Oersteds, MGOe. It's ...
maximum operating temperature
Materials science; Magnetics
The maximum temperature a magnet can withstand without significant long range instability or structural changes.
maxwell
Materials science; Magnetics
The C.G.S. unit for total magnetic flux, measured in flux lines per square centimeter.
mega gauss oersteds (MGOe)
Materials science; Magnetics
Unit of measure typically used in stating the maximum energy product for a given material. See Maximum Energy Product.
million gauss oersteds
Materials science; Magnetics
Unit of measure typically used in stating the maximum energy product for a given material. See Maximum Energy Product.
north pole
Materials science; Magnetics
The pole of a magnet that when freely suspended would point to the north magnetic pole of the earth.
