Part 1: Classification
This p rt of IEC 6 4 4 is inten ed to clas ify commercial y avai a le mag etic materials
The term "mag etic materials" denotes s bstan es where the a pl cation req ires the
existen e of f er omag etic or fer imag etic pro erties
In this doc ment, the clas ification of mag etic materials is b sed up n the general y
recog ized existen e of two main groups of prod cts:
• soft mag etic materials (co rcivity ≤1 0 0 A/m);
• hard mag etic materials (co rcivity >1 0 0 A/m)
Within these main groups, the clas ification when a pro riate recog izes the f ol owin
c aracteristic :
• the main al oyin element an the metal urgical state an ph sical pro erties of the
material;
• when p s ible an con enient, the relation hip b twe n these c aracteristic is identified
A clas if i ation by sp cific are s of a pl cation can ot b a pled to al materials b cau e
diff erent materials can very often b u ed f or the same a pl cation de en in on the
c aracteristic req ired
