IEC TR 63304 pdf – Methods of measurement of the magnetic properties of permanent magnet (magnetically hard) materials in an open magnetic circuit using a superconducting magnet
1 scope
This Technical Report describes the general principle and technical details of the methods ofmeasurement of the DC magnetic properties of permanent magnet materials in an openmagnetic circuit using a superconducting magnet (sCM).
This method is applicable to permanent magnet materialssuch as those specified inIEC 60404-8-1, the properties of which are presumed homogeneous throughout their volume.
There are two methods:
– the SCM-vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) method;- the SCM-Extraction method.
This document also describes methods to correct the influence of the self-demagnetizing fieldin the test specimen on the demagnetization curve measured in an open magnetic circuit. Themagnetic properties are determined from the corrected demagnetization curve.
NOTEThese SCM-methods can determine the magnetic properties of permanent magnet materials with coercivityhigher than 2 MA/m. The methods of measurement in a closed magnetic circuit speciied in lEC 60404-5 can lead tosignificant measurement error due to saturation effects in the pole pieces of yoke for the magnetic materials withcoercivity higher than 1,6 MA/m (see IEC 60404-5).

4 General principle 4.1 Principle of the method Figure 2 illustrates schematic diagrams of typical test apparatuses. The test apparatus consists of a superconducting magnet (SCM), a moving device, a specimen rod, a magnetic field sensor (hereafter H sensor), a magnetic dipole moment detection coil (hereafter M coil), measuring devices and a data processing device (PC). The measurement is carried out in an open magnetic circuit to enable the determination of magnetic properties of permanent magnet materials with coercivity higher than 2 MA/m. The axis of the DC magnetic field generated by the SCM is vertical and coaxial with the M coil and the specimen rod. The moving test specimen is placed in a zone where the magnetic field strength is uniform with a tolerance of ±1 % at the centre of the SCM. The H sensor is placed in a zone where the influence of the magnetic dipole moment of the test specimen can be ignored. A test specimen is firmly attached on the specimen rod so that the direction of magnetization is parallel to the axis of the specimen rod, and then placed in the test apparatus as shown in Figure 2.
