Synopsis
This book is an extensive guide to magnetic quantities, units, symbols, and their equations, focusing on the magnetic characteristics of different materials, principles employed in magnetic testing apparatus, and magnetic analysis. The book begins by defining the units of magnetomotive force, magnetic flux, and magnetic reluctance, deriving their relationships through the Ohm's law of the magnetic circuit. It then explores the concepts of magnetizing force, magnetic induction, permeability, intensity of magnetization, and magnetic susceptibility. The author presents standard procedures for testing magnetic materials, including normal induction and hysteresis, and describes various methods for obtaining accurate measurements, such as ballistic methods and the use of mutual inductors and fluxmeters. Different types of magnetic testing apparatus, including the Burrows permeameter, Fahy Simplex permeameter, and the High-H permeameter, are discussed along with their advantages and limitations. The book also covers the classification of magnetic materials, such as ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, and diamagnetic materials, and provides insights into the effects of hysteresis and eddy currents on core loss in alternating magnetic fields. By studying the relationships between magnetic properties and physical properties, the author demonstrates how magnetic analysis can be applied practically to nondestructive material testing.
