Abstract
Controlled Curie point materials are considered innovative due to their property of abrupt magnetic extinction when their temperature exceeds a specific threshold. This property could be used to make them very suitable for a variety of industrial processes that require temperature self-regulation. The use of these materials in magnetic induction heating may allow the power transfer to be greatly reduced at the Curie point, ensuring precise control of the heating process. However, recent developments have enabled the design of customisable materials, where the Curie threshold can be precisely adjusted during the manufacturing process in a range from ambient temperature to several hundred degrees. This tunability is commonly achieved in FeNi-based alloys, where the Curie temperature is controlled by adjusting the composition ratio of nickel and iron. Other alloying elements, such as aluminium or rare earth metals, can also be incorporated to further modify the magnetic and thermal properties. Therefore, designers need modelling tools to handle these phenomena. In this paper, a two-dimensional coupled electromagnetic and thermal model for the induction heating of magnetic materials with a low Curie point temperature is developed to validate the proof of concept.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials provides an important forum for the disclosure and discussion of original contributions covering the whole spectrum of topics, from basic magnetism to the technology and applications of magnetic materials. The journal encourages greater interaction between the basic and applied sub-disciplines of magnetism with comprehensive review articles, in addition to full-length contributions. In addition, other categories of contributions are welcome, including Critical Focused issues, Current Perspectives and Outreach to the General Public.
Main Categories:
Full-length articles:
Technically original research documents that report results of value to the communities that comprise the journal audience. The link between chemical, structural and microstructural properties on the one hand and magnetic properties on the other hand are encouraged.
In addition to general topics covering all areas of magnetism and magnetic materials, the full-length articles also include three sub-sections, focusing on Nanomagnetism, Spintronics and Applications.
The sub-section on Nanomagnetism contains articles on magnetic nanoparticles, nanowires, thin films, 2D materials and other nanoscale magnetic materials and their applications.
The sub-section on Spintronics contains articles on magnetoresistance, magnetoimpedance, magneto-optical phenomena, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), and other topics related to spin current control and magneto-transport phenomena. The sub-section on Applications display papers that focus on applications of magnetic materials. The applications need to show a connection to magnetism.
Review articles:
Review articles organize, clarify, and summarize existing major works in the areas covered by the Journal and provide comprehensive citations to the full spectrum of relevant literature.
