Rare-earth Iron Permanent Magnets

Download or read book Rare-earth Iron Permanent Magnets written by J. M. D. Coey and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rare-earth iron permanent magnets combine the magnetization of iron or cobalt with the anisotropy of a light rare-earth in intermetallic compounds which exhibit nearly ideal hysteresis. The rare-earth iron magnets are indispensable components in a vast range of electronic and electromechanical devices. This book covers the principles of permanent magnetism, magnet processing, and applications in a series of interlocking chapters written by experts in each area. Based on the findings of the Concerted European Action on Magnets, it is a definitive account of the field, designed to be read by physicists, materials scientists, and electrical engineers.
