What determines a magnets strength?

What comes to mind when you think of the strength of a magnet? Is it the amount of pull it has? Or how many gausses it has? Magnet strength it is a complex concept involving the nature of the magnet itself and its interaction with the external environment, the strength of the magnetic field is mostly used to express the magnetic induction strength (symbol B).


The strength of a magnet is determined by a number of factors, here are some of the main influences.


1, Magnet material itself magnetic properties

Different types of permanent magnet materials, their magnetic properties are very different. Taking the most commonly used permanent magnet material NdFeB magnet as an example, its remanent magnetization value and maximum magnetic energy product are much higher than that of traditional ferrite magnet, so it has stronger magnetic strength.


2, Manufacturing process

Even for the same material, different production processes can affect the strength of the magnet. Like NdFeB magnets, if the sintering process is used, the magnetic properties are usually superior to the injection molding process.


3, Size

A larger size of a magnet usually means that it contains more magnetic domains. Ideally, a larger size provides a stronger magnetic field.

4, Shape

Different shapes of magnets have different domain structures and flux distributions, which affect the overall magnetic properties.


5, Performance Grade

Regardless of the material of the magnet, has a number of grades, they have a difference in magnetic performance, generally the larger the data the better the magnetism. For example, ferrite Y35 grade is better than Y30 grade.


6, Temperature and environmental factors

The temperature of the magnet's working environment also affects its magnetism. Too high a temperature may demagnetize the magnet, and a magnet that is oxidized will also affect its magnetism.


7, Direction of magnetization

To obtain the maximum magnetic field, the direction of magnetization should be aligned as closely as possible with the direction in which the magnet is most susceptible to magnetization.
