Magnetization of NdFeB Permanent Magnet Considering Demagnetization Effect

Abstract

Electrical machine efficiency improvement has been paid more attention over the past years. Using Permanent Magnets (PMs) in various modern electrical machines is one of the most favorable approaches to increase machine efficiency. However, PMs still have a significant disadvantage that is the demagnetization issue. Therefore, these demagnetized PMs need to magnetize for regaining their initial capability considering the demagnetization level. Therefore, first of all, this paper proposes the demagnetization behavior of NdFeB PMs due to thermal effect. Then, these PMs are magnetized using a proposed simple magnetizing technique considering various demagnetization conditions. Finally, the results indicate that the most complete demagnetized PMs are able to significantly recover to their initial capability.
