25 years of commercial PFMs at Hirst Magnetic Instruments
The first commercially available Pulsed Field Magnetometer (PFM) from Hirst was announced in 1998 (with the first machine shipped in 1999) but research work had been started 10 years earlier as it was clear modern high coercivity magnets could not always be measured on the traditional permeameters due to pole piece saturation and faster testsContinue reading “25 years of commercial PFMs at Hirst Magnetic Instruments”

Demagnetiser Workstation
A common problem in industry is residual magnetism in parts after machining or working. Often parts stick together, proving difficult for additional processing. Another typical problem after machining is that parts can pick up swarf, and even washing can prove ineffective. By demagnetising parts, the above problems can be alleviated. There are various different waysContinue reading “Demagnetiser Workstation”
