Temperature compensation of NdFeB permanent magnets
- Argonne National Lab., IL (United States). Advanced Photon Source
Permanent magnet blocks of NdFeB have a relatively high maximum energy product. Because of its relatively low Curie temperature, however, NdFeB has a large temperature coefficient for its residual induction. The temperature coefficients of the relative magnetic fields ({Delta}B/B)/{Delta}T in the air gap of NdFeB dipole magnets were reduced from {minus}1.1 {times} 10{sup {minus}3}/c to less than 2 {times} 10{sup {minus}5}/{degree}C under operating temperatures of {+-} 6 C. This was achieved passively by using 1.25-mm-thick strips of 30%-Ni-Fe alloy as flux shunts for the NdFeB blocks. The magnets with soft-steel poles and flux-return yokes were assembled and measured in a temperature-controlled environment.
