Magnetic Materials Introduction 

 

 



 

Ferrites Commonly known as Ceramics, have been in production since the 

1950's. They are primarily made from Iron Oxide (FeO) and the addition of Sr 

and Ba through a calcining process. They are the least expensive and most 

common of all magnet materials. Primary grades are C1, C5 and C8. They are 

mostly used in motors and sensors. 

 

 



Alnico  These are one of the oldest commercially available magnets and have 

been developed from earlier versions of magnetic steels. Primary composition is 

Al, Ni and Co, hence the name. Although they have a high remanent induction, 

they have relatively low magnetic values because of their easy of 

demagnetization. However, they are resistant to heat and have good mechanical 

features. Common applications are in measuring instruments and high 

temperature processes such as holding devices in heat treat furnaces. 

 

 

Samarium Cobalt  They belong to the rare earth family because of the Sm and  

Co elements in their composition. Magnetic properties are high and they have 

very good temperature characteristics. They are also more expensive than the 

other magnet materials. They come mostly in two grades: SmCo

 and Sm

Co

also known as SmCo 1:5 and 2:17. Common uses are in aerospace, military and 

medical industries.   

 

 



Neodymium  Also known as Neo, these are the strongest and most controversial 

magnets. They are in the rare earth family because of  the Nd, B, Dy, Ga 

elements in their composition. A relatively new  group of commercial magnets, 

they are controversial because they are the only magnets that have been 

patented for both composition and processing. The patent and licensing issues 

are important and will be discussed later in this guide. 

 

 

Bonded Magnets  All of the above materials are available as bonded grades by 

either extrusion, compression, calendaring or injection  molding processes. The 

magnetic properties are lower because they sometimes lose their anisotropy and 

they are not fully dense due to the introduction of resins and epoxies. The main 

advantage to this group is that they can be made in complex shapes and can be 

insert, over-molded and co-molded with other materials.

Definitions of Terminology in Magnetics 

 

 



Ag Area of the air gap

, or the cross sectional area of the air gap perpendicular to the flux 

path, is the average cross sectional area of that portion of the air gap within which the application 

interaction occurs, Area is measured in sq. cm. in a plane normal to the central flux line of the air 

gap. 

 

Am Area of the magnet



, is the cross sectional area of the magnet perpendicular to the 

central flux line, measured in sq. cm. at any point along its length. In design, Am is usually 

considered the area at the neutral section of the magnet. 

 

B Magnetic induction

, is the magnetic field induced by a field strength, H, at a given point. 

It is the vector sum, at each point within the substance, of the magnetic field strength and 

resultant intrinsic induction. Magnetic induction is the flux per unit area normal to the direction of 

the magnetic path. 

 

Bd Remanent induction

, is any magnetic induction that remains in a magnetic material 

after removal of an applied saturating magnetic field, Hs. (Bd is the magnetic induction at any 

point on the demagnetization curve; measured in gauss.) 

 

Bd/Hd Slope of the operating line

, is the ratio of the remanent induction, Bd, to a 

demagnetizing force, Hd. It is also referred to as the permeance coefficient, shear line, load line 

and unit permeance. 

 

BdHd Energy product

, indicates the energy that a magnetic material can supply to an 

external magnetic circuit when operating at any point on its demagnetization curve; measured in 

megagauss-oersteds. 

 

(BH)max Maximum energy product

, is the maximum product of (BdHd) which can be 

obtained on the demagnetization curve. 

 

Bis (or J) Saturation intrinsic induction

, is the maximum intrinsic induction possible in 

a material. 

 

Bg Magnetic induction in the air gap

, is the average value of magnetic induction over 

the area of the air gap, Ag; or it is the magnetic induction measured at a specific point within the 

air gap; measured in gauss. 

 

Bi (or J) Intrinsic induction

, is the contribution of the magnetic material to the total 

magnetic induction, B. It is the vector difference between the magnetic induction in the material 

and the magnetic induction that would exist in a vacuum under the same field strength, H. This 

relation is expressed by the equation: 

 

Bi = B - H 



 

Bi = intrinsic induction in gauss 

 B = magnetic induction in gauss 

 H = field strength in oersteds.
