Closed-Loop Analysis of Nanocomposite Magnets: Integrating Micromagnetic Simulation and Experimental Testing
Source abstract
Abstract
This study presents a framework for simulation-experiment closed-loop analysis of nanocomposite magnets. Firstly, hysteresis loops of nanocomposite permanent magnets were calculated using micromagnetic simulations. Then, the experimental preparation was carried out by rapid quenching of the melt and spark plasma sintering (SPS). We analyzed the effect of different sintering temperatures on the physical phase composition and magnetic properties of the samples. Characterization results show that the samples sintered at 600 °C have the highest magnetic energy product. Using transmission electron microscopy data, the polycrystalline model was refined, and further micromagnetic simulations were performed. The close agreement between simulated and experimental data confirms the improved accuracy of our simulation model. This iterative process of experimental characterization and simulation improvement reduces the discrepancy between simulation predictions and actual sample performance. It could facilitate rapid iteration in magnet development and provide valuable insights for optimizing the preparation of nanocomposite permanent magnets.
