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 remagnetization. ...

Intrinsic coercive force

Materials science; Magnetics

Intrinsic coercive force indicates a materials' resistance to demagnetization. It is equal to the demagnetizing force which reduces the intrinsic induction, Bi, in the material to zero after ...

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 modern magnets.

Intrinsic coercive force (Hci)

Materials science; Magnetics

Measurement of magnetic materials inherent ability to resist self demagnetization.

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 magnetised along any axis or direction (a magnetically unoriented material). The opposite of Anisotropic Magnet.

Induction (B)

Materials science; Magnetics

The magnetic flux per unit area of a section normal to the direction of flux. Measured in Gauss, in the C.G.S. system of units.
