Permanent magnets and soft magnetic materials

Magnetization, Measurement, Calibration

MAGNET-PHYSIK has excellent competence in the theoretical and practical basics of magnetism and magnetic measuring techniques. Therefore, we have been partners for a variety of specialist events, for example for magnetics, magnetic materials, and magnetic measuring techniques for a long time now. We promote knowledge management and are extending our activities in this field with our MAGNET-PHYSIK Academy.

Thus, we have prepared some basic seminars, which serve as solid basis or as a refresher course for those who are working with magnetic materials as well as for people who would like to get even deeper into this topic. We offer content related to hard and soft magnetic materials for both practical applications and laboratory environment.

The in-class magnet technology and measurement seminars take place in our seminar rooms in Cologne. The direct access to the equipment in our laboratories allows practical training units. The Academy provides a pleasant atmosphere, as well as more than enough room for larger events.

In addition, the seminar content is also offered as webinars. Here we present the practical knowledge virtually. We are already offering a series of interesting webinars. The content will be packed into shorter units which can be included even in a full schedule. This time will definitely be well spent!

Do you have any topics or questions in mind? We will gladly accept requests and suggestions as well as prepare individual trainings where we can focus on your specific needs. If you like to go deeper into a special topic or if you need individual support from our magnetics experts, feel free to contact us. Of course, the Academy can also come to your location.

Upcoming courses at the MAGNET-PHYSIK Academy

Training Characterization of soft magnetic materials (online)

An online training which provides a comprehensive insight into the properties, the measurement and testing of soft magnetic materials.

You’ll get an overview about the soft magnetic characterization standards. We explain BH loops and the different test methods, the challenges of open and closed loop measurements and sample preparation.

Our trainings are not mere lectures but have workshop character. Questions from your everyday working life with magnetics can be discussed with our experts.

The PERMAGRAPH® – Measuring principle, Operation, Measuring results (online)

The  PERMAGRAPH®  is the world-wide known standard equipment for the measurement of magnetic characteristics of permanent magnets in research, development, quality control and production. The equipment has been continuously optimized and modernized over many years and is available with a variety of accessories.

In some laboratories it has outlasted the working life of its operators and is still measuring with highest precision.  New laboratory staff often is not trained in depth so that they are probably not familiar with all of the equipment’s functions.

In our online training you will receive a compact introduction to hard magnetic material analysis with the PERMAGRAPH®.

Based on the international standard for the measurement of magnetic properties,  ISO 60404-5, we clarify the definitions of important characteristics which can be found on the hysteresis curve and  explain the differences between magnet materials.

We present the components of the equipment, introduce the measuring accessories i.e., surrounding coils, measuring poles and components for the measurement at high temperatures and analyze the measuring results. You will receive hints for the selection of the proper accessories for your application and practical tips for the measurement.

We demonstrate the measuring process starting from the input of material data and settings in the user-friendly software, showing how to mount temperature poles, analyzing the measuring curves and saving the measurement data.

Calibration of magnetic measurement equipment (online)

Measuring equipment is important for quality tests. It must be checked and calibrated at regular intervals to ensure correct results.

In this seminar we will have a closer look at the frequently asked questions in this regard.

  • What is calibration? (traceability, standards, certification, accreditation)
  • How is magnetic measurement equipment calibrated? (measurement technology, methods of measurement, ambient conditions)
  • What are uncertainties of measurement about? (GUM, standard uncertainty of measurement, uncertainty budget)
  • How does the laboratory assess conformity? (decision rule, specification)
