Objective
Traditionally magnetic characterisation is carried out by an electromagnet system which can generate fields up to 20,000 Oersted relatively easily. However permanent magnet materials are now coming onto the market with such extremely high values of intrinsic coercivity that external fields of up to 5 Tesla need to be applied, with this requirement undoubtedly set to increase further as new generations of magnet are developed. The opportunity therefore exists to develop magnetic characterisation systems which will cater for the high energy magnets of today and the future. It is the research into developing a cost effective testing system, capable of measuring the magnetic properties of the best magnetic materials in a fast and reliable way, that forms the basis of the proposed project. The project will focus on developing the system with the following capabilities : a)Ability to obtain full BH loops for all permanent magnet materials available today and likely to be investigated in the future. b)To achieve fast testing and measurement cycles so making it possible to process large amounts of magnets in a short space of time. By the year 2000 the value of western world production of permanent magnets will almost certainly exceed $5,0 bilion with neodymium-iron-boron alone capturing 45% of the market (as compared to 28% in 1990). The demand for magnetic characterisation equipment capable of testing high energy magnets will therefore also grow significantly into the next decade. The development of advanced magnetic testing equipment is a progressive and innovative step which will ultimately, through the widespread application of rare earth magnets, allow many other industries to exploit and benefit from this emerging technology.
