    Aluminium Magnetic
AI Thread Summary
Aluminium is not magnetic, allowing magnetic field lines to pass through it without significant distortion. However, the thickness of the aluminium can impact the strength of the magnetic field, particularly with moving fields that can induce eddy currents. When using flush-mounted neodymium N42 magnets in a 12mm x 10mm aluminium block, there should be minimal loss of strength. Eddy currents are not a concern in this specific application since the magnets are fixed. Overall, the setup should work effectively without issues.

hey guys, just a quick question about the magnetic field lines and aluminium,

because aluminium is not magnetic, do magnetic field lines pass through the metal unhindered, or are they distorted? or is thickness become an issue?

this is in relation to mounting permenant magnets in an aluminium block.

i am using 12mmx10mm neodynium n42 magnets flush mounted in a aluminium bars, would they lose any strength at all?

thanks for any replies guys :)

Won't be a problem while the magnets are fixed.

With moving magnetic fields you can get eddy currents in aluminium - not a problem here.
 
just realized i spelt field wrong lol

thanks for the reply aj:)
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
