SUMMARY
The normal approximation of magnetic flux density (B) for cast iron can be derived from the B-H curve, similar to the method used for sheet steel. For sheet steel, B is approximated as 1 with H at 400, leading to a calculation of B using the formula B=μH, resulting in 0.0025 Wb/At-m. For cast iron, users are encouraged to explore magnetization curves available in online resources, particularly referencing graphs found on page 152 of a specific online book for further insights.
