The Highest Level of Precision when Testing Hard or Soft Magnetic Materials

In today's fast-paced manufacturing industries, ensuring the quality and performance of magnetic materials is critical. Whether you're producing steel, hard metals, or components from powder metallurgy, accurate magnetic testing is essential. FOERSTER's KOERZIMAT® systems, including the HCJ and MS models, offer comprehensive solutions for both hard and soft magnetic material testing.

KOERZIMAT® 1.097 MS: Precision in Soft Magnetic Testing

Soft magnetic materials are often used in applications requiring low coercivity, like electrical circuits and transformers. The KOERZIMAT® 1.097 MS is a specialized system designed to measure two important magnetic values: weight-specific saturation polarization (σs) and volume-specific saturation polarization (Js). These measurements are crucial for understanding the magnetic behavior of materials, particularly when testing components with complex geometries.

Key features of the KOERZIMAT® MS system include:

• Geometry-independent testing: Ensures accurate results even for irregularly shaped samples.
• High sensitivity: Allows for testing small specimens as light as 0.5 g​.
• Applications: Ideal for quality control in sintering processes, determining the carbon content in hard metals, and analyzing soft magnetic components in magnetic circuits​.

KOERZIMAT® 1.097 HCJ: Excellence in Hard Magnetic Testing

The KOERZIMAT® 1.097 HCJ system focuses on testing hard magnetic materials. It measures the coercive field strength (HcJ), which is critical for understanding the magnetic resistance of a material. The system uses an open-circuit method, compliant with IEC 60404-7 standards, to provide geometry-independent testing.

For those dealing with soft magnetic materials, the KOERZIMAT HCJ provides an optional J-H extension module, allowing for the complete determination of the J-H hysteresis curve, which is crucial for evaluating remanence, coercive field strength, and hysteresis loss.

Why Magnetic Testing Matters

Magnetic testing is crucial in many industries, including:

• Quality Control: Ensures consistency in the production of hard metals and magnetic materials.
• Material Development: Supports research into new alloys and magnetic composites.
• Component Analysis: Provides insight into the properties of sintered and thermally treated materials.

The KOERZIMAT® systems by FOERSTER ensure precise and reliable results, helping industries maintain high standards of product quality and material performance.
