Cutting magnets without losing magnetization (Curie temperature issue)

In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of cutting barrium ferrite magnets without using a rock saw and demagnetizing the magnet. The suggestion of using water jet cutting is offered and the person is grateful for the quick response and new information.

Hello,
I wanted to know, if someone knows of a realistic option of, how to cut barrium ferrite magnets without using a rock saw and without demagnetizing the magnet obviously?
Thanks in advance everyone.

How about water jet cutting?

Have to say, that was much quicker than expected:D Thank you. Just didn`t know that much about this subject, that`s all.
 

1. How does the Curie temperature affect magnetization in cutting magnets?

The Curie temperature is the temperature at which a material loses its magnetization. When cutting magnets, it is important to avoid heating them above the Curie temperature, as this will result in loss of magnetization.

2. Can magnets be cut without losing their magnetization?

Yes, magnets can be cut without losing their magnetization as long as the cutting process is done at a temperature below the Curie temperature. This can be achieved by using specialized cutting techniques and tools.

3. What happens if a magnet is heated above the Curie temperature?

If a magnet is heated above the Curie temperature, it will lose its magnetization and become demagnetized. This can happen if the cutting process generates too much heat or if the magnet is exposed to high temperatures in its environment.

4. How do scientists ensure that magnets are not heated above the Curie temperature when cutting them?

Scientists use specialized cutting techniques, such as using diamond or water jet cutting, which generate less heat compared to traditional cutting methods. They also use temperature control measures and monitor the temperature of the magnet during the cutting process.

5. Are there any other factors besides temperature that can affect magnetization when cutting magnets?

Yes, other factors such as mechanical stress and exposure to strong magnetic fields can also affect magnetization when cutting magnets. Therefore, it is important to use proper cutting techniques and equipment to minimize these effects and ensure that the magnets maintain their magnetization.
