Industrial Applications of Magnetic Materials

The major applications of magnetic materials are, in order of importance, permanent magnets, electromagnets, and magnetic recording media. Each of these applications requires a set of critical magnetic properties. 

High magnetic permeability High saturation magnetization Low coercivity Low remanence 

Low electrical resistivity to reduce Eddy-current losses 

High coercivities High remanence Maximum energy product (BH) High Curie temperature
