We were asked to do a research on Application of Magnetic Materials in the Electronics Industry. That is reasonably easy enough but of course we were asked to include:Raw Materials UsedProperties (of material)Advantage/Disadvantage (of material)Specific Example, Illustrations and DiagramsMy problem is I can‘t tell what exactly does raw materials mean. I only found that there are three classifications namely: Diamagnetic, Paramagnetic, and Ferromagnetic Materials. Now that isn‘t exactly raw materials and when I search for them I only manage to turn up their function and concepts; no examples. Any useful links? And any tips on how to do this research? Any help would be appreciated, seeing as we were asked to do this HANDWRITTEN (god knows only why) with 10 pages as minimum, I really need help as fast as I could get.
Magnetic materials used in the electronics industry would be mostly (perhaps exclusively) ferromagnetic materials. The materials would be alloys and ferrites containing various elements like iron, nickel, cobalt, aluminum, neodymium and samarium. There are many applications for both permanent magnets and materials that have magnetic properties. You can find a lot of information in the pedia articles listed below. Additional information can be found by following links in those articles and by searching terms used in those articles. PS1: The above mentioned elements are used in permanent magnets. Additional elements used in ferrites and ceramic magnets include zinc, barium, manganese, oxygen and strontium. Silicon is the essential element in addition to iron in silicon steel.
