3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 9637 and GB/T 15676, as well as the following, apply.

3.1
principal magnetic properties
The properties mainly include remanence Br, coercive force of magnetic polarization (intrinsic coercivity) HcJ, magnetic induction intensity coercivity HcB and maximum magnetic energy product (BH) max of permanent magnet.

3.2
additional magnetic properties
The properties mainly include relative recoil permeability μrec, temperature coefficient of remanence α (Br), temperature coefficient of coercive force of magnetic polarization (intrinsic coercive force) α (HcJ) and Curie temperature Tc of permanent magnet.

3.3
irreversible flux losses
irreversible relative variation of permanent magnetic flux generated due to temperature rise, under open-circuit conditions. It is calculated by Formula (1).
(1)
Where,
hirr—irreversible flux losses, %;
Ф(T0)—flux of magnet at temperature T0 under initial open-circuit conditions (Wb);
Ф(T1)—open-cirtuit flux of magnet with temperature changing from T0 to T1 and then reversing to T0 (Wb).

3.4
maximum operating temperature
The maximum holding temperature of a cylindrical sample of permanent magnet (with a diameter of D and a height of L, and L/D=0.7) in thermal demagnetization state, which, after saturation magnetization, is heated from room temperature to a certain constant temperature and, after 2 hours holding period, is then cooled to room temperature, with open irreversible flux losses not greater than 5%.

4 Classification and designation of material

4.1 Classification

Sintered neodymium iron boron permanent magnets, by the size of intrinsic coercivity, are classified into seven types—low coercivity N, medium coercivity M, high coercivity H, extra high coercivity SH, super high coercivity UH, extreme high EH and ultra high TH.

4.2 Designation

Each type, by maximum magnetic energy product, are classified into several designations. Materials on each designation may be processes into permanent magnet parts of a variety of shapes and specifications, including discs, cylinders, rings and pads.

4.3 Expression of character designation

Designations of sintered neodymium iron boron permanent magnets consist of the manufacturing characteristics, main description and magnetic properties of material. The first part, the letter "S", denotes the manufacturing characteristics of materials, i.e. the sintered materials produced by powder metallurgy sintering process; the second part, NdFeB, i.e. the element symbols of neodymium, iron and boron, denotes the main description of materials; the third part, the number before solidus, denotes the nominal value (kJ/m3) of maximum magnetic energy product (BH)max of sintered neodymium iron boron; the forth part, the number after solidus, denotes one tenth of the minimum intrinsic coercivity HcJ (kA/m) rounded to the nearest integer.
