How to evaluate the magnetic properties of samarium cobalt magnets?
Samarium cobalt magnet, also known as cobalt permanent magnet, is a high performance permanent magnet material. It is an alloy composed of rare earth elements samarium, cobalt and other trace elements, which has extremely high magnetic properties and excellent heat resistance. This makes SmCo magnets widely used in many high-tech fields such as electronics, electric machinery, aerospace and other fields. In this paper, the magnetic properties of samarium cobalt magnets will be evaluated in detail.
1. The basic concept of magnetic properties
Magnetic properties describe the attractiveness of magnetic fields to magnetic materials. The commonly used magnetic performance unit is Oersted (Oersted), and 1 Oersted is equal to 1 ampere-second (A/s). In practice, we usually use Raman (Larmor) or Tesla (Tesla) as the unit of magnetic properties. 1 Tesla is equal to 10000 Gauss or 10^4 Oersted.
2. Magnetic properties of samarium cobalt magnets
The maximum magnetic energy product (BHmax) and coercive force (HC) of samarium cobalt magnets are the most important magnetic performance parameters.
BHmax: Indicates the maximum value of magnetization produced by the material under the action of the maximum external magnetic field. It is an important index to measure the magnetic properties of materials, and is often used to evaluate the performance of permanent magnet materials.
HC: Indicates the minimum reverse magnetic field required for the magnetization of the material to drop to zero after the external magnetic field disappears. It is a parameter reflecting the coercive force of the material.
3. Evaluation method of magnetic properties of samarium cobalt magnets
3.1 Experimental method of magnetostatics
Magnetostatic experiments are a common method for evaluating magnetic properties. It mainly includes magnetization curve measurement, hysteresis loop measurement, magnetic loss and magnetic stability and other tests.
Magnetization curve measurement: By changing the magnetic field strength, the curve of the magnetization of the material changing with the magnetic field is measured. From this, we can understand the saturation magnetization and the change characteristics of the magnetization with the magnetic field.
Hysteresis loop measurement: By changing the direction of the magnetic field, measure the curve of the magnetization of the material changing with the direction of the magnetic field. This can reveal the hysteresis behavior of the material.
Magnetic loss and magnetic stability test: By measuring the loss and stability of a material in an alternating magnetic field, its anti-interference ability can be evaluated.
3.2 Simulation calculation method
In addition to experimental methods, magnetic properties can also be evaluated by means of numerical simulations. Commonly used simulation software includes MATLAB's permanent magnet material model and COMSOL Multiphysics.
Permanent magnet material model: By setting the atomic parameters and microstructure of the material, the magnetic properties of the material can be simulated and calculated. This method can provide more accurate prediction results, but requires higher computing resources.
Multiphysics simulation: Simulate and calculate the magnetic properties of materials by considering the interaction between the microstructure of the material and the electromagnetic field. This method can fully consider various factors, but the computational complexity is relatively high.
Summarize
The evaluation of the magnetic properties of samarium cobalt magnets is a complex process involving a variety of methods and tools. Through a deep understanding of the basic concepts and parameters of magnetic properties, as well as mastering the skills of magnetostatic experiments and numerical simulations, we can more accurately evaluate the magnetic properties of samarium cobalt magnets and provide a scientific basis for their applications in various fields.
"Since 2006, we found Mr.Guo and get products from him. We used magnets under the earth for the gas and water pipe industries. We have met no problem. We have been working in very happy ways. We have many cooperation. Every year, we spent time together and sometimes, we invited him to Korea. He is our younger brother. Strongly recommended!!"
