How does the saturation flux density affect magnetic field strength?

SUMMARY

The Saturation Flux Density (Bs) defines the maximum magnetic flux density a material can achieve, beyond which increases in the external magnetic field (H-field) do not result in a corresponding increase in the internal magnetic field. In the discussed scenario, a core with a saturation flux density of 1.5T will not produce a magnetic field stronger than 1.5T, regardless of the external magnet's strength. The core will only maintain a magnetic field up to its saturation point, which is determined by the alignment of atomic spins within the material.

So I'm confused what the Saturation Flux Density is referring to. definition says it is when you no longer get an increase in H-field when increasing external B-field.

So, does the satuation flux mean the core can only create fields UP TO that saturation flux, or that it can make a stronger field but accept at most the saturation flux?

For example, let's say I have a 1.5T magnet and a core with 1.5T saturation flux. When I pair the two, will the core give me a magnet STRONGER than 1.5T (say 2T), or will it just give me a larger 1.5T magnet?

H-field comes from spin direction of the material. When all the spins have same direction they show saturation flux density.
