Hard magnetic materials like tungsten-steel alloy or chromium-steel alloy are used in the manufacture of: Correct Answer permanent magnets
- Generally, ferromagnetic materials are used for making permanent magnets. These materials include tungsten-steel alloy or chromium-steel alloy iron, nickel, cobalt, and some rare earth metals.
- Steel is an alloy of iron and so can also be made into a permanent magnet. Alloys with less iron, nickel, or cobalt will be magnetically soft and have a weaker magnetic field.
- Alnico (made of Aluminium, Nickel, and Cobalt) is also used for making a permanent magnet.
Important Points
High-Frequency transformer Core:
- Ferrites materials have a tendency to hold the magnetic flux within their core.
- Ferrite is a ceramic compound consist of Iron oxide mixed with zinc, nickel and manganese compounds.
- The ferrite core offers high resistance (or low electrical conductivity) which decreases the magnitude of eddy current, so losses reduce.
- The ferrite core reduces magnetostriction noises.
Permanent Magnets:
- Permanent magnets are magnets that retain their magnetism over long periods of time. Permanent magnets are made of hard ferromagnetic materials.
- In a paramagnetic material, every individual atom (or ions or molecules) possesses a dipole moment.
- And this magnetic moment of every atom interacts with one another in such a way that they spontaneously align themselves in a common direction over a macroscopic volume which is termed as the domain.
- The magnetic strength of a magnetic material is inversely proportional to temperature, since as temperature increases because of thermal agitation orientation of atoms becomes random when leading to a decrease in its magnetic field, and after certain temperature magnetic material loses its magnetic property permanently.
- Also, Temporary magnets are those which act like a permanent magnet when they are within a strong magnetic field but lose their magnetism when the magnetic field disappears. E.g. Electromagnet.
