Research to Investigate the Aging Characteristics of Samarium Cobalt Magnets.

Abstract

A program of experimental work is outlined which is aimed at testing the stability of commercially produced, sintered SmCo5 permanent magnets. The types of environmental exposure tests planned, the test procedures chosen and the magnetic measuring techniques selected are explained and the choices justified. The measuring equipment, several specially designed test fixtures and the testing laboratory in general are described and depicted. Instrument calibration, specific test procedures and some special measurement problems encountered are discussed. Test sample selection, status of magnet procurement, sample allotment to specific tests, etc., are reported. (Author Modified Abstract)
