Read MoreMagnets and the Curie Temperature
The term “Curie temperature (Tc)” or “Curie point” gets frequently mentioned when discussing magnets and magnetic properties. The Curie temperature relates to the maximum temperature a material can reach before losing its magnetic properties. On reaching a magnetic material’s Curie temperature, the spontaneous magnetisation in the material drops to zero. At this point, the material…
Read MoreMagnetics Importance for Electric Vehicles at Cenex-LCV
Magnets and magnet assemblies, both essential for transport electrification, are the focus for Bunting on stand C4-106 at Cenex-LCV (UTAC Millbrook Proving Ground, Bedfordshire, UK, 23rd to 24th September 2021). In particular focus is the technique of magnetizing magnet assemblies after construction, which offers a wide range of benefits including accuracy and safety. The LCV…
